Starfish Care Homes at Rolling Hills sits in Tucson, Arizona, surrounded by big yard spaces, tree-shaded sitting areas, and a view of the nearby mountains that bring fresh air and a peaceful feeling each day, and you can see trails and open landscapes for an easy walk if you'd like. The building itself looks classic, recently remodeled with granite counters, open and roomy floor plans, big kitchens with a homelike feel where folks can gather and cook together if they wish. The homes have ten single rooms, each set up as private spaces with bathrooms close by, and there are shared walkways, patios, and safe showers that make moving around easier, especially for people with mobility needs, since the whole place is ADA compliant and designed for easy use.
Starfish Care Homes follows a system where care is very focused on each person, matching what they need, whether that's help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and medication or more focused support like their "Dementia Capable Southern Arizona" program or memory cafés for people with memory loss. There's always staff around-two caregivers during the day, one overnight-who cook, clean, give reminders, and spend time with residents, and the staff works with healthcare providers, local hospices, and home health agencies to make sure residents get all the right care, even helping with medication and doctor plans.
Activities matter here, so there's always something to do, including Art Therapy, Music Therapy, games with visiting professionals, group meals, daily exercise like EnhanceFitness, and healthy living classes, along with community lunches and caregiver support, breaks for caregivers, and even one-on-one consultations and training. The house itself is in the Rolling Hills area but is part of a bigger group called Starfish Care Homes, which runs other houses around Tucson, each a bit different, but all trying to keep a safe and homey place for seniors.
There's a simple, nostalgic style to the place-big bright rooms, lots of views, and open spaces indoors and out where residents can sit, chat, or just enjoy the sunshine. Rolling Hills offers a little bit of everything, from independent living to memory care and long-term care, and it's set up to let people be as independent as they can, with the support always close at hand, and plenty of company for those who want it, all while holding onto that sense of home and Arizona's easy-going pace.
