ELMER PLACE FOR PARENTS, LLC

ELMER PLACE FOR PARENTS, LLC, sits at 25968 N Sandstone Way in Surprise, Arizona, where you'll find a small, home-directed assisted living community with room for up to 8 residents, and they've been licensed since July 1, 2020 under license number AL10437H, with their current license running through June 30, 2025. Residents get help with things like meals, hygiene, cleaning, supervision, and daily activities, and the caregivers who work there can help with medicine, bathing, eating, grooming, and walking around, really focusing on building warm relationships and one-on-one companionship as they go about their days. They also offer a memory care program, with 24-hour support for seniors who have Alzheimer's or dementia, and they do their best to line up activities and programs to help keep minds engaged. Folks who need a temporary stay for respite care can come here too, which gives family members a break whenever they need it. You'll see private or shared rooms-some have private baths, wheelchair accessible showers, or bathtubs, depending on the setup-and there are options if someone has a pet that they'd like to bring, as long as the rules allow. The staff mix includes caregivers and licensed nurses like CNAs, LPNs/LVNs, and RNs, which means there's help at hand for personal care, diabetic management, high acuity memory needs, incontinence care, and non-ambulatory support, and since the place is more of a residential care home, it feels a bit less like a big facility and a bit more personal. They're not certified for Medicare, so they don't take it, but they do accept seniors needing long-term, non-acute care, including parents or older relatives who need extra support day to day. Residents can join in on activities both at the home and out on trips, sometimes including devotional or spiritual activities, and transportation is available at cost if someone needs a ride. Inspections have happened regularly, and the care is guided by the goal of helping residents live comfortably and keeping families at ease. Families can set up a tour to get a better sense of the environment and whether it's the right fit for their needs.
