Cactus-Star Assisted Living LLC sits in a quiet Phoenix neighborhood at 2929 East Cactus Road, so the place feels like home and gets plenty of sun, and you'll see a garden out front that gives a touch of that desert calm. The home cares for up to 10 residents, with live-in caregivers and a staff that stays 24 hours a day, offering round-the-clock support with activities like bathing, dressing, medication management, and moving around, even for folks who need one or two helpers or lifts. The building's got wheelchair accessible showers, indoor and outdoor common areas, private and semi-private rooms fully furnished, and high-speed Wi-Fi, plus on-site dining with meal options that fit different diets like kosher and vegetarian. There's always a beautician there, and organized activities both at home and out in the community, with devotional services on the schedule and a big focus on keeping everyone active and connected.
Cactus-Star handles several care types-assisted living, memory care, board and care, and respite stays-and takes in people with high medical needs, diabetes, movement issues, wandering or behavioral problems, incontinence, and more. Staff help with medical appointments, and visiting nurses, doctors, therapists, and specialists check in as needed. They can coordinate with healthcare providers, arrange transportation for a fee, manage medicines, and monitor blood sugar, though they do need a nurse's oversight to give insulin shots. The home can keep residents with dementia or Alzheimer's busy with planned activities and offers reminders for daily tasks and incontinence care, along with support for those who act out physically or are restless.
The place operates as an assisted living home-directed facility with a license (AL9123H) through August 31, 2025, and belongs to the Arizona Care Alliance as an approved provider, though it doesn't accept ALTCS funding as of now. The business lists its prices for private and semi-private rooms, with the rating at 4 stars-marked as excellent by reviews-and offers respite care if you need a short stay. Families can use the Caring Senior Transitions placement service free of charge, where an advisor learns what's needed by talking things through and finds matches with communities, only charging if folks decide to move in. The facility provides extra information if someone wants details on care types like adult day health, home care, skilled nursing, or foster homes, and connects families with local experts for more guidance. Residents and visitors see a peaceful place focused on daily living in a way that tries to keep things simple, familiar, and supportive. Business hours run from 8AM to 9PM weekdays and 8AM to 5:30PM on weekends, and you'll find a steady routine, helpful staff, and both indoor and outdoor activities for people who call it home.
