Assisted living breaks the mold with resort-style focus

Resort-style Community Focuses on Fitness, Nutrition, Well-Being

PHOENIX — Assisted Living has opened at the Acacia Health Center located at Sagewood, a LifeCare senior living community with 278 residences, two clubhouses and an on-site health center with resort-like amenities focused on well-being and independence.

Located in the northeast Valley where Phoenix meets Scottsdale, Sagewood, a Life Care Services community, is located in the natural beauty of the Sonoran desert with distinctive Southwestern architecture and a design to promote a healthy and active lifestyle.

The beautifully designed, resident-centered Acacia Health Center offers a refreshing approach to assisted living featuring 10 apartments, skilled nursing care offering 28 suites (24 private suites and four semi-private suites), memory care with six suites and a rehabilitative therapy center.

Designed to meet the future needs for residents of Sagewood, the Acacia Health Center will also accept public direct admission for assisted living, skilled nursing or memory care.

Patrick Kinney, a 25-year health care veteran, has recently joined Sagewood to oversee Acacia Health Center as HealthyLife™ services administrator. Kinney has served as an executive director of both large and small nursing facilities in Arizona, California, Oregon and Washington.

"Our assisted living at Sagewood reflects the lifestyle and desires of residents and provides care around their personal goals and aspirations," said Kinney.

Offering a neighborhood feeling with areas for social connections and community activities including dining, a central living room with fireplace, surround sound entertainment system and plasma TV with comfortable couch and chairs for settling in for a movie, and computer area for surfing the Internet and staying connected with family and friends.

The 24 private skilled nursing care suites feature a single remote control for both in-room TV and nurse call in a richly-appointed spacious room with large windows offering an abundance of natural light.

"Sagewood provides continuing care at various levels with exceptional hospitality for residents to feel confident, safe, secure and enabling them to become active members of the community," said Kinney.

Sagewood offers residents a unique and attractive financial plan that provides a minimum 80 percent refund of the Sagewood entrance payment no matter the length of residency. Because Sagewood is an extensive, Type A LifeCare community, health services in assisted living, memory care and nursing care are provided for unlimited days at a significant savings compared to similar options.

In addition, its continuing care program is designed to protect residents against the increasing costs of long-term health care providing a secure future.

Sagewood is a 278-residence Phoenix retirement community featuring resort-like amenities with two clubhouses and a health center providing quality long-term health care, assisted living, skilled nursing and memory care. Located in the pristine desert where Phoenix meets Scottsdale, Sagewood focuses on fitness, nutrition, active life and overall well-being and offers a range of independent living options featuring detached casitas and villas, lofts and apartment homes.
