ELSA ASSISTED LIVING, LLC

Located on West San Ildefanso Avenue in Maricopa, Arizona, Elsa Assisted Living is a licensed assisted living home. Its Arizona Department of Health Services license, AL12770H, is listed as active, with a capacity of 6 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 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 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 Elsa Assisted Living on AZ Care Check, the state's free online database at azcarecheck.azdhs.gov. Searching by the facility name or license number shows the license status, the service level, and the inspection history, including any deficiencies cited by ADHS and how they were resolved.

Reading the most recent reports, and asking the home about anything that stands out, is one of the most useful steps a family can take.
