There's lots to do, with a full calendar put together by activity directors and based on what residents enjoy, whether it's card and board games, arts and crafts, happy hours, exercise, or ice cream socials, live entertainment, and group trips to the zoo, museums, theaters, and farmers markets or just enjoying a book in the library or a chat with friends in the living room or bistro. Gardens, walking paths, and outdoor courtyards face the scenic northwestern foothills of the Sierra Madre Occidental, making it easy to step outside for fresh air or even a little gardening. In the computer room, residents can keep up with family and friends. There's a spa room for relaxing and a beauty salon for easy grooming.
Avista Senior Living Yuma provides meals and snacks cooked by trained culinary staff with a registered dietitian, serving breakfast to order and offering a range of meal options each day with special diets in mind, and residents can join friends in the dining room or reserve a private dining room for special events. Nurses and professional caregivers help as needed with activities of daily living-dressing, bathing, and medication management-plus extra support for memory care and chronic illnesses like diabetes, with 24-hour access to healthcare and a call system for emergencies.
Laundry, housekeeping, and repairs come with the package, so residents can focus on enjoying themselves, and the weekly schedule usually includes community outings, scenic drives, wellness and exercise programs, and help with appointments, along with assistance from home health and therapy partners to follow personal care plans as care needs change. This community, holding state license AL9065C, allows folks age 55 or 62 and up and makes it easy for them to get the support they need, stay as independent as possible, and enjoy the social life, meals, and comforts that keep them feeling at home.
