Antigua Care Home sits in a quiet neighborhood at 11433 West Phillip Jacob Drive in Surprise, Arizona, where it offers assisted living and board and care for up to four seniors in a small, family-like setting, and it kind of feels like someone's nice home with its furnished rooms, garden, and community spaces. The home has four assisted living units and offers residents care with everyday tasks like bathing, dressing, grooming, transfers, medication management, and help in and out of the shower, which is good for people who need extra hands with daily things and can't do everything alone anymore. Antigua Care Home puts a lot of attention on Memory Care for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, making sure they're safe from wandering and comfortable with activities meant to lower stress and slow cognitive decline, and they run a locked and secure environment for those who need it, so families don't have to worry so much.
Staff is available around the clock offering supervision, help with emergencies, and assistance with health needs, including coordination with doctors and medication management, plus rehabilitation services for folks recovering from sickness or injury, and they keep care plans updated to fit each person's needs, since needs change. Residents get home-cooked meals three times a day, with adjustments for allergies, high blood pressure, diabetes, and other dietary needs, and they eat together in a common dining room unless they want to eat in their rooms. Housekeeping and laundry are handled by staff, so folks don't have to worry about chores, and there's someone to help keep rooms tidy.
The home does offer hospice and respite care for families needing short-term help or end-of-life support, and they welcome residents who need both long-term and temporary stays. There are amenities like a garden for fresh air, walking paths, a bistro, a reading room, a jacuzzi or hot tub, a steam or wellness room, a fitness area, on-site barbershop, and a wellness program that uses things like music therapy, pet therapy, exercise, game nights, and art or craft projects to give residents something to look forward to, and caregivers try to keep folks as active and included as possible, even when they have memory challenges. There are scheduled daily activities, movie nights, fitness and music programs, community events, and transportation to medical appointments, errands, and even religious services if wanted, and there's a safe yard and parking. The place allows pets, so people don't have to leave behind their animals, and residents can choose a studio, a shared or one-bedroom arrangement.
Rooms come furnished with cable or satellite TV, telephone, and Wi-Fi, and emergency alert systems are installed throughout, so help is always close by; move-in coordination makes the first days easier. The facility follows rules set by the Arizona Department of Social Services, and while it doesn't take Medicare unless certified, it works hard to give reliable, non-acute care to older adults in Maricopa County. With only four residents at a time, Antigua Care Home makes care personal and gives families some peace of mind knowing there's someone always nearby, and the setting is gentle and warm, without being too busy or overwhelming.
