Navigating COVID-19:
At Via Elegante we have learned to successfully live and work throughout the COVID-19 pandemic by always staying one step ahead of the curve. We believe that our focus on testing, staff support, and our high community vaccination rate have made, and will continue to make, all the difference.
Our communities have unique home-like environments that contribute to making a difference in the wellbeing of our residents who are able to enjoy spending time with their housemates instead of being required to socially isolate to their room. With activities that keep spirits high, life is able to remain meaningful for everyone in our community.
Via Elegante is open for visitation:
With a large percentage of our population vaccinated, Via Elegante is open for visitation! Visit with your loved one in our beautiful courtyards, clubhouses, online, or even in their rooms.
While there are some restrictions still in place, we have established detailed Policies and Procedures for visitation that align with the Arizona Department of Health Services guidelines. We also have designated staff available to help facilitate a meaningful and safe visit. For more information on types of visits and how to schedule, Click here for a summary of visitation types.
Via Elegante is designed to accommodate those who need help with most of their activities of daily living. Typically, our residents are no longer driving, and appreciate having someone available to assist them with their medications and their daily routines including dressing, showers, meals, housekeeping and laundry.
Via Elegante has 4 Assisted Living and Memory Care Home Communities in Southern Arizona that provide a full range of services. We are mostly private pay and also work closely with many Long Term Care insurance providers. If you qualify financially, we also accept ALTCS at some of our communities, which helps alleviate those concerned about running out of money.
Our pricing includes all levels of care, with no price increases as their loved ones age and begin to require more assistance. In general, our private rooms range in price from $6,000 to $10,000 per month. Our semi-private range from $4,500 to $6,000 per month. The differences in price are based on the amenities of the room, not levels of care. This means you get the same level of care no matter what room you choose. Please call us for specific pricing information as pricing varies for each of our communities.
We all want to remain independent and stay at home as long as possible. However, coordinating the logistics of providing consistent care to someone at home is challenging. In addition, the isolation that occurs for someone who is homebound can create more problems. Since mostAssisted Living in Arizona have month to month leases, you can suggest that you try Assisted Living for a 30 day period. If you like it you can stay longer, if you don’t like it, you can always move to a different Assisted Living or back home if possible. The best advice is to keep conversations focused on a short term decision as opposed to a decision for the rest of their lives. We generally tell people that the first 100 hours of the move are the hardest and then we work to complete the transition within the following 100 days. After 100 days you will have had enough time to know if you made the right decision about assisted living.
At Via Elegante you can be as social and active as you like. We encourage all of our residents to dine at our main tables with the other residents but they also have the ability to dine in a more private setting if they choose to. There are great opportunities to make new friends with the other Residents and their families (who are all going through similar life changes), as well as with the consistent Caregivers. It is our goal for families to become families again, without the distractions making sure that all of the daily needs of their loved ones are met. It is nice to have time to relax, reminisce and participate in the enriching activities provided in the community.
I WILL DEFINITELY RECOMMEND YOUR FACILITY!
I appreciated the considerable efforts of your team to help my grandmother be happy and comfortable at Via Elegante. I know that she wasn’t easy to please and that the transition was difficult for her, but I feel her last days were easier and even pleasurable and that is what I wished for her. I will definitely recommend your facility to anyone who has need of your services.
EXCELLENT AND MOST COMPASSIONATE CARE
The family of Mary is very grateful to all of you for the excellent and most compassionate care you gave her over her four years with you. She could not have been in a better place. It takes very special people to deal with those afflicated with dementia. We thank you for all of your patience, love, and compassion.
OUTSTANDING LEVEL OF CARE
My father is a resident in the Galleria home. Earlier this month, I had the chance to visit with my Dad. I live out of state so I can't get to Tucson as much as I'd like. Although I had only a few short days there, I was delighted to see the outstanding level of care he is receiving. The facilities and the staff are just what he needs! The home-like atmosphere is very comfortable and the small scale assures that the residents get the care they need and deserve.
THEY TRULY TREATED US ALL LIKE FAMILY. IT WASN’T JUST A CLICHÉ…
My dear mother-in-law spent her last five weeks at one of their homes when we were not able to keep her with us during that time. We couldn’t have asked for a better situation considering she wanted to be at home. They truly met her needs and that of the family in a loving and professional way, but with compassion, and truly treated us all like family. It wasn't just a cliché.
A BLESSING FOR MOM AND OUR FAMILY
Ya’ll are, and continue to be, a blessing for Mom and our family. It’s your generous and caring spirit that makes Via Elegante a uniquely special place to live. Thank you for everything!
