HIGHGATE SENIOR LIVING OF PRESCOTT LAKES

Highgate Senior Living of Prescott Lakes is an assisted living and memory care community on Petroglyph Point Drive in the Prescott Lakes area of Prescott, Arizona. The Arizona Department of Health Services licenses it as an assisted living center (license AL8333C) with capacity for 97 residents. Highgate describes boutique-style living in a high-desert setting with pines and views across rolling hills.

Assisted living helps with daily routines, and memory care is offered for people living with dementia, with care that addresses body, mind, and spirit. Meals are made from scratch. The Life Enhancement Program brings residents together through movement, learning, social connection, giving back, and nurturing the spirit, with options such as morning yoga, painting, walks along the paths, and quiet time in the garden.

Common areas include a fireplace lounge and a library. Offering assisted living and memory care in the same community means a resident whose memory changes over time may be able to move to the secured neighborhood without changing communities. That continuity can matter for people with early memory concerns, so it helps to ask how the transition is decided and who is involved. In Arizona, assisted living communities are licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services.

A licensed assisted living center serves eleven or more residents and may be approved to provide supervisory care, personal care, or directed care services, with directed care being the level for residents who can no longer direct their own care, as is common with dementia. 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.

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, to see how the plan is shared with staff on each shift, and to learn who to call when something in the plan no longer fits. The Prescott address keeps the community within reach of the area's hospitals, shopping, and services.

On a tour, ask how the Life Enhancement calendar is planned, how memory care residents spend a typical day, how care levels are reassessed, and which suites are available. Comparing communities takes time.
