Overview of Aegis at Coconino Assisted Living Home

Aegis at Coconino Assisted Living Home is a nursing home, assisted living, independent living, and memory care community in Phoenix, AZ. Nursing home care provides nursing support, while assisted living helps with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication. Independent living offers private living without daily care, and memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

The home has five beds. It is a smaller community where staff and residents can get to know each other, with private rooms, suites, and masters rooms available. Having several care levels on one campus may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, while the small size may fit someone who prefers a smaller community.

A Walk Score of 43 places the area in a setting dependent on cars, so most errands require a car or a ride. A resident who no longer drives would need transportation for those trips. Brian C serves as the administrator.

Paradise Valley Senior Living offers assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care in Phoenix, AZ.

Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s care are both confirmed specialty tracks, which matters for families whose loved one has a diagnosis that rules out a lot of general assisted living options.
