JOLLEY FAMILY ASSISTED LIVING LLC

Jolley Family Assisted Living is a licensed assisted living home on West Broadway Road in Buckeye, Arizona, operated by Jolley Family 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.

Jolley Family Assisted Living's second Buckeye home sits on West Broadway Road next to the family's original house. It opened in 2008 and is run by founder Fay Jolley Webster, a caregiver with more than 25 years of experience in elder care, and her team. Staff are on duty day and night for round-the-clock help and on-time medication administration. Every room has safety grab bars, an emergency call system, and non-slip surfaces.

Meals are prepared daily with dietary accommodations, and the home offers medication management, wellness activities, personal care, housekeeping, transportation, and respite stays. Each resident has an individualized care plan, and the two neighboring homes work together as one small community. 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.

Assisted living suits people who want help with daily routines such as medications, bathing, and dressing while living in a house-like setting 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. The Buckeye address keeps the community within reach of the area's hospitals, shopping, and services.
