CLASS ACT GLENCOVE MESA, LLC

Class Act - Glencove House is a licensed assisted living home on East Glencove Street in Mesa, Arizona, operated by Class Act Assisted Living. State licensing records from the Arizona Department of Health Services list a capacity of 10 residents and approval to provide directed care, the highest of Arizona's three assisted living service levels, which allows the community to serve residents who are unable to direct their own care, including many people living with dementia.

Glencove House is Class Act's second family-style care home in Mesa, a light-filled house with a generous shared living space. Like its sister home on Los Alamos, it serves about 10 residents with the same care team standards. Awake caregivers are on the floor 24 hours a day with a one-to-five caregiver-to-resident ratio. Care includes daily help with bathing, dressing, medications, meals, and mobility; memory care for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia; and coordination with a family's chosen hospice team so residents can stay in the home.

Days begin with coffee and a home-cooked breakfast at a shared table, and residents have three home-cooked meals plus snacks, activities, music, and time outdoors on the patio and walking paths. Owners Amy and Josh run both homes, and the team helps veterans' families understand VA Aid and Attendance. In Arizona, assisted living homes are residential settings that serve ten or fewer residents, and they are licensed by the Department of Health Services at the same three service levels as larger centers.

Supervisory care covers general supervision and help in an emergency, personal care adds hands-on help with activities such as bathing, dressing, and medications, and directed care is for residents who can no longer recognize danger or direct their own care. A small home usually means a shared living room and dining table, fewer residents per caregiver, and a quieter daily routine than a large community.

Offering assisted living and memory care in the same home means a resident whose memory changes over time may be able to move to the memory care setting without moving to another home. It helps to ask how that transition is decided and who is involved. Arizona rules require an assisted living facility to prepare a written service plan for each resident that describes the care and services to be provided, and to review and update it as needs change.

Families can ask to take part in that review and to learn who to call when something in the plan no longer fits. Families can look up a community's license and inspection history on the state's AZ Care Check website before a visit, and reading recent inspection reports can show how a community has responded to any past findings. The Mesa address keeps the community within reach of the area's hospitals, shopping, and services.
