The Margaret T. Morris Center, located in Prescott, Arizona, is the only assisted living community in Northern Arizona that is dedicated solely to dementia care. Since 1999, they have been providing expert care and programming for individuals living with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, mild cognitive impairment, and memory loss. Their commitment to unparalleled care is evident in their unique building design, nonprofit management status, and the longevity of their staff. The center offers a safe and secure environment with open spaces for residents to explore, certified caregivers who receive ongoing training in dementia care, healthcare monitoring, medication management, personal care, chef-prepared nutritious meals, and a fulfilling life enrichment program.
Medical care at the Margaret T. Morris Center is overseen by a dedicated medical team led by Medical Director Dr. Kara Johnson and Director of Nursing Amber McCabe. The team focuses on providing excellent healthcare for each resident while minimizing the use of medication to support the best quality of life. Caregivers at the center are certified through the Arizona Board of Nursing Care Institution Administrators and Assisted Living Managers, ensuring that residents receive top-quality care and support.
In addition to basic services, the Margaret T. Morris Center offers additional services such as beauty salon services, medical support for therapies, home health, and hospice, vision and dental care, transportation services, and more. The center's innovative neighborhood-style living design aims to prevent isolation and depression, foster relationships, and provide better oversight by care partners. Their nonprofit status means that profits are reinvested into programming to benefit residents, resulting in all-inclusive pricing that does not change through varying levels of care.
The center's full life enrichment program includes activities such as music, dance, art and painting classes, daily exercise, outings, cognitive games, pet therapy, and spiritual services. Their one-acre nationally award-winning sensory walking garden provides a peaceful and stimulating outdoor environment for residents to enjoy.
