Do any of these statements sound familiar?

“Dad left the stove on again causing a small fire”.

“Your mother’s medications are not being taken as prescribed”.

“The stroke has led to partial paralysis and your dad will no longer be able to walk”.

Where do you turn when confronted with the fact that your loved one is no longer able to live independently? Families across the Phoenix-Metro Area have found both greatly needed answers and support by turning to the professionals at Ability Senior Care.

Ability understands that every senior must be treated as an individual.  No two people have the same medical, emotional, spiritual and financial needs.  Our assessment ensures that our recommendations meet the specific needs of the senior and his/her family.

Why does Ability recommend particular facilities?

Ability recommends assisted living facilities, group homes and nursing homes that meet our exacting standards.  They must have an excellent record with the Department of Health Services.  The facility must have the capabilities to meet the specific needs of the senior, and every facility has different capabilities and limitations.  We examine the cleanliness of the facility, variety and quality of the food, appearance of other residents, staff interaction with residents, client/staff ratios, activities and ease of accessibility.

When a senior needs hospice care, we make sure our facilities will have the ability to care for a dying client.  If a senior has dementia/Alzheimers’, we work hard to ensure the facility has the expertise to work with confusion.  Diabetes requires a specific diet and precise medication management, and this will fall on the staff.  Again, all facilities are different. Ability works hard to match seniors with the best facilities available.
