Facility in Phoenix recommendation

We are looking for an assisted living facility for my mom. She has early Alzheimer’s as a result of three brain surgeries from cancer.  Currently we have 24x7 care at her home from a combination of hired care givers and my sister.  She needs help getting up, but can make her way around with a cane. She needs help dressing and showering. She can feed herself, but can’t make her own meals. I am most concerned with nights as she gets up 5-10 times a night. We found a place that seems ok, but I am not sure she will get a lot of attention. I’d like a little lace that has a lot of activities and social interaction.

    I can recommend the Valencia in North Scottsdale, 26639 N. 71st. Place.

    I visited there recently as part of a tour of facilities, as my son and I have started an adult care home, and we used the Valencia as a prototype. 

    Google the Valencia Home.  You mentioned looking for a smaller place:  the Valencia has room for ten residents. 

    Good luck.
