Centennial Village

Centennial Village sits on an eight-acre campus at 130 W Brown Rd in Mesa, Arizona, and has 153 apartment homes for seniors age 62 and older as well as adults with mobility impairments, and the place has been run as a non-profit since 1978, started by the Lutheran Hospital and Homes Society along with local leaders from the East Valley, and you'll find a setting that caters to different needs, from those wanting independent living to those who need assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, hospice, rehabilitation, and even home care for people who want support while staying at home. The community offers card rooms, game rooms, art and craft spaces, media rooms with big TVs, a library for reading or research, and a 13,000-square-foot clubhouse for group events or just sitting with friends. Residents eat meals planned by chefs, which helps keep the food nutritious and balanced, and the staff, board, and volunteers are known around the area for being friendly, helpful, and kind to anyone who visits or lives there, with special care to make everyone feel included, even people who might usually have trouble getting services or who don't speak English easily, because the community never discriminates based on race, religion, national origin, family type, orientation, disability, or gender identification. The apartments offer independent living that's maintenance-free for active, healthy seniors, and those who need more help can receive support with daily activities, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and respite or hospice care delivered by trained professionals, and there's support for individuals with disabilities too. Centennial Village also makes room for many types of affordable housing and social care, with programs overseen by people committed to dignity and respect for each resident, and anyone coming to visit won't have trouble getting directions since that's simple to find, and everything is put together to support residents socially, physically, mentally, and emotionally through different activities and services found in a continuing care retirement community.
