BROOKDALE SPRINGS MESA

Located on East Broadway Road in Mesa, Arizona, Brookdale Springs Mesa is a licensed assisted living center. Its Arizona Department of Health Services license, AL5078C, is listed as active, with a capacity of 90 residents and approval to provide personal care, the middle of Arizona's three assisted living service levels. Personal care covers hands-on help with activities such as bathing, dressing, toileting, and medications for residents who can still direct their own care.

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

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. Larger centers usually have private apartments and more common spaces, but routines and staffing vary from one community to the next.

An assisted living center can suit someone who wants help with daily routines along with more common spaces and neighbors than a small home offers. 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.
