From assisted living, to skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and memory care and hospice services, you can expect a multitude of services available to you when you reside here.

It is important to recognize that base rates at assisted living facilities are likely to increase based on the level of care that you or a loved one may have. Higher care requirements are often on an a la carte basis in a community, and will make the monthly rate variable by personal need level.

Sophya’s Assisted Living
2621 Beeman Dr.
Mesquite, MI 75181
A unique choice for our list, Sophya’s Assisted Living community is a far cry from the buildings normally noted on our best-of lists. Instead of boasting a corporate oversight and a facility-like atmosphere, Sophya’s Assisted Living is unique in its arrangement. Located in the residential community of Creek Crossing Estates, Sophya’s is a home-based assisted living community. This means that the entire facility is a house within the residential neighborhood.
While not a traditional assisted living choice, selecting a facility like Sophya’s for your assisted living home has so many benefits not seen in the more industrial home settings. Sophya’s home is small and quiet, with a very small number of residents at any given time. The care staff in Sophya’s home is often the same, and a family-like bond develops quickly between caregivers and the residents. Home-cooked meals are on the menu every single day, and daily care tasks are provided with the dignity that staff would provide their own elderly family members.
Sophya’s home setting is an asset all its own. The monthly cost of assisted living in the area on average is around $4,300/month, and with the rates of Sophya’s home not readily available, it is important to note that this average is based on figures of the larger, more industrial communities. Sophya’s is likely to fall below that average, given that they are not a chain home situation, and costs covered will include all meals, healthcare oversight, maintenance and housekeeping chores, along with the utilities and all standard amenities.
Sophya’s home, while being a home-based residential community, is subject to the same oversight as the rest of the assisted living facilities in the area. The home is inspected by the State of Texas and surveyed with the same rules and regulations in mind. During Sophya’s most recent home inspection, there was only one citation noted from the home. This citation was not in relation to healthcare provided, but rather in relation to lighting levels in the home being below safety standards. This was rectified by the home swiftly and to the satisfaction of the state oversight.
Each of these highlighted properties has amenities unique to them, and with highlights that would blow away all of the competition. They are a varied group of healthcare settings and communities, and are certain to be able to provide safety, ease and comfort in your transition into assisted living care. There are admissions specialists located in each of these communities, and you can reach out to each of them at any time for further information on how to make one of these properties your new home.
