A Paradise for Parents Assisted Living & Memory Care has homes located in Surprise, Goodyear, and Mesa, Arizona, and each place keeps things small and homey so there's never more than ten residents per house, and families can visit anytime they want without worrying about visiting hours because they believe it's best when folks feel like they belong and are part of a family, and you'll usually see family members right there joining in meals or outings. The staff takes pride in keeping a warm, friendly atmosphere, and the manager Laura makes sure people feel at home, with caregivers looking after every resident like kin, doing everything from help with dressing to giving out medicine or just joining in on a walk outside. Each house offers both private and shared rooms, all with easy-access walk-in showers, and there's lots of space and bright décor to keep people comfortable, and outside you'll find landscaped yards for fresh air and neighborly talks.
Meals are cooked from scratch by cooks who've been trained by nutritionists, so there's an effort to use local produce and healthy recipes, and some homes even grow a bit of their own food. Residents get three nutritious meals a day, and anyone who has special diets for memory care can have them, including ketogenic meal plans if that's called for by a doctor; and based on some protocols, blood testing and supplements are available too. There's always a strong focus on keeping active, so a personal trainer runs group workouts three to five times a week, and some homes have saunas, red and infrared light therapy, or even hyperbaric oxygen therapy to help with healing and brain health. Folks who like pets will feel right at home because pets are welcome.
Every day brings activities like karaoke, fishing trips, group exercise, walks in the neighborhood, or visits from local musicians, but the big thing is that monthly outings keep everyone looking forward to something, like boat rides on Lake Pleasant, baseball games, spring training, airshows, shopping, trips to the state fair, or going out to the movies or restaurants, and family members are encouraged to come along whenever possible. There are plenty of quiet days for just enjoying the backyard, and during the holidays there's always a gathering or shared meal to keep the family feeling going. The homes have won community awards, including the Best Home in Surprise AZ Award for 2019, especially on 164th Lane, and Banff Lane is known for its decorations and special gatherings, while the 135th Drive location offers affordable living but keeps all the main services as the larger homes.
Assisted living covers all the basics-help with baths, dressing, meals, laundry, medication, and rides to doctor visits, and with a one-time $500 entry fee, the monthly rate includes services like the group workouts with the personal trainer, respite care, and even pet care support. Memory care is handled by staff with training to work with Alzheimer's and dementia, and care plans are personalized, using protocols like Bredesen and Enhance when needed, and staff keeps close watch with monitored units to make sure everyone stays safe, comfortable, and engaged. The homes offer both independent and assisted living care, so folks who want to stay active and social can do so, and those who need extra help get it from caregivers who keep the ratio low-sometimes one staff to just three residents.
A Paradise for Parents Assisted Living & Memory Care holds state license AL10124H, and each location is managed as a small, close-knit house that feels more like home than a big facility, with a goal to make every resident feel cared for, supported, and included in daily life.
