A-Z ASSISTED LIVING HOMES, INC

A-z Assisted Living Homes is a licensed assisted living home on East Lowell Ct in Gilbert, Arizona. State licensing records from the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) list license number AL9543H, an active license, a capacity of 10 residents, and approval to provide directed care, the highest of Arizona's three assisted living service levels. Directed care allows a home to serve residents who cannot recognize danger, summon help, express needs, or make basic care decisions, which can include some people living with dementia.

This page is built from the state license record and public map data. The home's own amenities, staffing, room types, and daily routine are not covered here, so families should ask the home directly about those details and confirm everything during a visit. In Arizona, assisted living homes are residential settings licensed for ten or fewer residents, while assisted living centers serve eleven or more.

Both are licensed by ADHS at the same three service levels. Supervisory care covers general supervision and help in an emergency, personal care adds hands-on help with daily activities and medications, and directed care is for residents who can no longer direct their own care. A small home typically means a shared living room and dining area in a house in a residential neighborhood, with a small group of residents and caregivers.

A directed care license does not by itself mean a home runs a dedicated memory care program, so families of someone living with dementia should ask how the home supports residents with memory loss. A small licensed home can suit someone who does best in a quiet, house-like setting with a familiar group of caregivers, rather than a large community with many activities. Someone who needs daily skilled nursing or intensive rehabilitation may be better served by a skilled nursing facility.

Arizona rules require every assisted living facility to complete an assessment and a written service plan for each resident, describing the care and services the resident will receive. The plan must be reviewed and updated as the resident's needs change. Families can ask to take part in that process, ask how often the plan is reviewed, and ask who to call when something in it no longer fits. Before a visit, families can look up A-z Assisted Living Homes on AZ Care Check, the state's free online database at azcarecheck.azdhs.gov.
