A dear family member is at Huger where I’ve learned the difference between medical management and experiential care of Dementia. This facility is organically peaceful, the staff is authentically engaged. It feels safer than home. It supports, entertains, and lovingly challenges all residents, meeting them where they are. Music is paramount. Human interaction is daily. A “blast from the past” is intentional. No system is perfect. No single staff member can meet everyone’s individual needs. But the respect and effort of this culture supersedes any human frailty. I am forever grateful my beloved family member found his way to Huger. Seeing my dear bonus sister gain her life back with the peaceful supportive Huger community brings solace to my soul. No family should endure dementia but it’s a reality and the Huger family brings peace and support.
This place was a nightmare for my mom. The level of care is inconsistent. The cna’s are agressive and ignore most of the residents. Too many residents , not enough staff. They let the residents just wonder outside for hours with no supervision. And in hot weather. Supposedly the cna’s are certified to deal with dementia patients however you can’t tell. Witnessed many interactions where cna was clueless. Only a handful really care for the residents. Very disappointed in this place , beautiful campus but that’s about it
My father was resident for several years and it was the best place for him. The staff truly loved and cared for him. Family was always welcomed. thank you!
I have been in the long term care business for 35 years plus and been aware of Huger Mercy Living Center since its opening. I always loved the Arizona Model, beautiful outdoor areas, the longevity of the staff and the unique care provided for people living with dementia. I have recommended it as “a hidden gem” to so many families over the years. When my dad needed memory care I quickly got on the waiting list. He lived there 4 years and was loved and taken care of so well until his passing 4 months ago. We all were so grateful for the great food, staff, nursing care and especially the outstanding creative daily activities and special events. We can’t say enough about how wonderful Huger Mercy staff was the entire time not only to him but also to all of our family. I highly recommend Huger to any family in need of excellent memory care!
I visit senior living communities all over the Valley as part of my work and Huger Mercy Living Center stopped me in my tracks. It's a hidden gem off the 17 - a beautiful campus with a thoughtful cottage model designed around each stage of memory care, safe outdoor spaces residents can enjoy, and staff who have been there for decades. You can feel the 25+ years of heart and mission in this place. The story behind it - land donated by Dr. Huger after his wife's Alzheimer's journey. Maria, the Executive Director, was generous with her time and clearly leads with the mission in mind. Families looking for dedicated memory care should have this community on their list.
