Good Samaritan Society Mesa Good Shepherd Assisted Living sits at 5848 East University Drive in Mesa, Arizona and has a long history of serving older adults with a range of care needs. This community offers assisted living, independent living, skilled nursing, memory care, and respite care so people can find different levels of support if their needs change over time. The main building is a Medicare and ALTCS approved skilled nursing center with 80 beds, set up to help folks short-term or long-term, after a hospital stay, illness, or surgery, and you'll also find smaller homes in nearby residential neighborhoods where only a few people live together and staff can focus on more personal daily care. There's a focus on safety and support, especially for people living with memory problems like dementia or Alzheimer's, and the staff includes nurses who do monthly check-ups and work with doctors who come in each month.
The place lets residents age in place, which means once someone moves in, there's support for them as their needs change rather than having to find a new community if care levels increase. The skilled caregivers can help with pain management, medication, wound care, nutrition, Parkinson's care, personal care like bathing and dressing, continence, and other daily tasks, and there's always someone available with a 24-hour call system and supervision. Apartments are fully furnished, and you'll find private rooms, studios, one-bedroom suites, and group living choices. Every room has emergency buttons, cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and utilities included. Special meals cover dietary needs like diabetes or allergies. There's transportation to appointments, and move-in coordination so people and their families get support with the transition.
Amenities are meant to help people keep busy and comfortable, so you'll see things like a movie room, a library, an arts and crafts room, a game area, and an exercise center. People can go outside in the garden, walk the trails, relax on patios, or gather in shared dining rooms for three meals and snacks every day. Staff host scheduled daily activities, resident-run programs, mental wellness support, and social events, including memory-enhancing activities for those with memory care needs. Housekeeping and laundry come standard; there's a salon and barbershop on site, mail services, and a mini in-home spa as well. The building has keyless entry and a round-the-clock security system.
This is a small-sized community with only 24 apartments and senior living units, which helps staff provide more personalized attention and care. Good Samaritan Society Mesa Good Shepherd Assisted Living is connected to Caring Senior Transitions, LLC, which helps families find placement in assisted living or memory care with no extra costs. The community is eco-friendly and upscale with a five-star rating for quality, and it's in a location close to pharmacies, restaurants, parks, public transportation, and doctors in Mesa, Arizona. Residents can use scheduled transportation, have preventive health checkups, and get medication reminders and setup help when needed. With continuing care, a safe environment, and various lifestyle choices, the community tries to strike a balance between helping people stay independent and giving extra support when it's required.
