DAVIS PLACE

Davis Place is a licensed assisted living center on Desert Sky Boulevard in Bullhead City, Arizona. State licensing records from the Arizona Department of Health Services list a capacity of 47 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.

Davis Place offers assisted living and respite care in Bullhead City, in a setting with nearby river views. The community describes an approachable scale and steady routines where residents feel known, with dependable daily assistance and short-term respite stays alongside long-term assisted living. In Arizona, assisted living centers serve eleven or more residents and are licensed by the Department of Health Services at one of three service levels.

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. Knowing a community's level helps families judge whether it can keep meeting a loved one's needs over time. Assisted living suits people who want help with daily routines such as medications, bathing, and dressing while keeping their own apartment and as much independence as possible.

Someone who needs daily skilled nursing or intensive rehabilitation may be better served by a skilled nursing facility. 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.
