Ahwatukee Post Acute is a licensed healthcare facility in Phoenix, Arizona, offering a mix of assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, and rehabilitation in a warm, friendly setting. The building has 192 beds and units, some in semi-private or private rooms, with high ceilings in certain areas and thoughtful features like Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and private bathrooms. The care team, including caring individuals like Alma, helps seniors with daily tasks, medication management, wound and diabetic care, IV therapy, and other complex health needs, all under the guidance of an onsite Medical Director and Director of Nursing.
Residents find help for both short-term rehab after surgery or illness and long-term care needs with therapy options like physical, speech, and occupational therapy. The center has a strong memory care program, especially for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and offers 24-hour support, memory-enhancing activities, and secure spaces like the Hawthorn Court at Ahwatukee Memory Care. There's also a focus on comfort and independence with activities such as music therapy, art, religious gatherings, group outings, movie nights, games, and several types of social programs.
Meals here are made in-house with the ability to fit different diets, including vegetarian and diabetic-friendly choices, cooked by a professional chef. Dining rooms and restaurant-style options are available along with all-day dining, and the on-staff registered dietitian sets special dietary plans as needed.
The campus includes walking paths, gardens, and outdoor seating, and has a wide choice of indoor amenities like a fitness room, spa, activity and game rooms, arts area, and library. Housekeeping, laundry, and move-in help are available, and safety is supported with emergency alert systems throughout the property. For those who want to keep active and socialize, there are many scheduled activities and community-run events, both on and off site, plus access to transportation and a beauty salon or barbershop.
Ahwatukee Post Acute is Medicare and Medicaid certified, accepts residents with higher medical needs and supports a variety of payment options. Staff provide kind, individualized care, whether it's for a short stay or ongoing support. Residents can age in place due to the range of medical and personal care offered onsite, including adult day care and respite care for families needing a break. The environment is well-kept and homelike, set in a residential neighborhood not far from essential Phoenix amenities. The facility is for-profit and corporate-owned, and while it isn't part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community, it does offer a full continuum of senior living, from independent living with resort-style amenities to skilled nursing and memory care for those who need more help as their needs change.
