The Village at Northrise - Desert Willow I and II sits under Genesis HealthCare, one of the larger nursing home operators across the country, and the setup here covers quite a few needs with a for-profit, 31-bed facility, so folks can find options for short-stay skilled nursing, post-hospital rehab, transitional care, or respite, and there's also assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing all woven together. Some people come in just needing rehab for a while, others come for long-term support, and you don't have to already live here to get post-hospital care over at Desert Willow I, and it also accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance, which makes things easier for families. The community stands out a bit for keeping higher staff levels than average-nurses, therapists, case managers, and recreation staff handle support, and they've got a Director of Health and Wellness who's a Certified Dementia Practitioner along with direct staff who train for dementia care, plus a nurse is available eight hours a day throughout the week.
Desert Willow I focuses on skilled nursing, semi-private rooms measuring about 169 square feet, and short-term rehabilitation, while Desert Willow II handles enhanced memory care with private or semi-private spaces, especially for folks living with Alzheimer's or other dementias, and this side stays up to date with recommended dementia care practices. Residents find private walk-out patios, apartments in several sizes-like one-bedrooms, studios, and two-bedrooms, most with kitchens and private baths-so there's room to settle in, and the Hallmark apartments even offer larger spaces with walk-out patios. They don't miss out on the extras: beauty salon and barber services, scheduled transportation for health appointments, community parking, bedside phones, televisions, and wireless internet throughout. There's a team setting up recreation activities such as tournaments, painting classes, Fit and Healthy wellness seminars, spiritual and social gatherings, and even day trips and excursions, which helps keep things lively.
Dining's handled for you and maintenance isn't something to worry about, and for those who need it, counseling, diabetic care, and other health services are built in. Activities and leisure get attention seven days a week from the recreation staff, and folks have chances to take part in things or just relax if that's what suits. All of this gets managed within a community that covers assisted living, memory support, independent living, and skilled nursing, allowing people to move between care levels as needed. The Village at Northrise - Desert Willow I and II, as part of the larger Village at Northrise campus and listed on A Place For Mom, aims to serve a variety of seniors with both short-term and long-term needs, and the place is recognized for providing options so every resident or short-stay guest can get the level of support that fits, whether that's simple daily help, memory support, or health management after a hospital stay.
