HAVEN HEALTH PRESCOTT ALF, LLC

Haven Health Prescott Assisted Living is a licensed assisted living center on Dougherty Street in Prescott, Arizona, operated by Haven Health. State licensing records from the Arizona Department of Health Services list a capacity of 68 residents and approval to provide personal care, the middle of Arizona's three assisted living service levels, which covers help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and medications, as well as some nursing services, for residents who are able to direct their own care.

Haven Health describes the Prescott assisted living center as a place for rest and recovery, with staff providing care 24 hours a day. The operator says it offers easy access to outside medical professionals and focuses on making sure needs are met for residents recovering from an injury or illness, as well as those looking for longer-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.
