Sage Desert

As the premier senior living community in Tucson, Sage Desert offers seniors a comfortable, homelike setting in an elegant environment.

You’re asked to wear a lot of hats in life: your career hat, your parent hat, your friend hat and now, you might find yourself wearing another hat, one as caregiver for your parent. As a caregiver, you often balance on fine lines, like being available to keep an eye on your father in case he takes another fall, but giving him the privacy that he wants in his own home. Showing compassion and respect to your mother with memory loss, but making sure she’s eating, even if she doesn’t want to.

If there comes a time when your mom or dad needs more help to get through their day, Sage Desert’s assisted living care services can help. In addition to the usual meals, activities, and maintenance, your mom or dad can also get any combination of support services like medication management, help with bathing and dressing and incontinence management.

We also offer exceptional Memory Care options through our signature In the Moment® Memory support program. The program is thoughtfully designed as a team-approach to care delivery. We describe what we offer as Memory Support because we’re intentionally shifting away from outdated Dementia care practices and into a hospitality model.

We recognize that each person we are privileged to serve is both unique in their life history, as well as their Dementia journey. We understand the importance of a scheduled rhythm to each day. However, we also encourage our team members to slow down and embrace the impromptu moments that happen as well. We find it’s the spontaneous moments that have a high impact on both the care giver and the care receiver. Living In The Moment, is the greatest gift we can give to anyone we serve; during their journey.

Offering Assisted Living and the signature In the Moment Memory Support® program, Sage Desert Assisted Living and Memory Care also has a 24-hour personal call system and around-the-clock staffing. You can take comfort in knowing that help will always be available at Sage Desert!

For a lot of caregivers, taking care of their mom and dad is a full-time job. The idea of going out of town for a weekend or an unexpected short-term change in care needs, like doctor’s orders after being discharged from the hospital, are serious stressors for caregivers who already feel worn thin. If you’re a caregiver who needs some extra help for a few weeks or days, respite care might be the perfect fit.

A move to Sage Desert can be the solution to give your mother or father the help they need, along with the peace of mind you’ve been searching for. At Sage Desert, people are there to help 24 hours a day, so while your parents will still be able to make their own decisions and retain the dignity they deserve, they will not be alone.

The care team at Sage Desert has a passion for helping seniors and their families transition through aging. They can be the vigilant eyes and the helping hand so you can focus on having a quality relationship with your mother or father.
