Fellowship Square Mesa ~ Residents Have Fewer Hospital Visits

"We have known for a long time that residents at our community have fewer hospital visits, including return hospitalization. It is nice to see that empirical evidence is confirming our findings." Jon Scott Williams, Executive Director, Fellowship Square-Mesa

Mather Lifeways Institute on Aging recently cited a study that investigated various factors that increase one’s chances of being hospitalized. Very little research has been focused on characteristics of one’s environment that may help prevent hospitalization but this study is working to better understand the factors. A key finding shows that, “Unsurprisingly, older adults with multiple chronic conditions were more likely to report frequent hospitalizations. However, among those who had multiple chronic conditions, individuals who lived in senior housing were hospitalized less often than those who lived in traditional housing. This suggests that there is a significant health benefit to living in senior housing, particularly for older adults who have multiple chronic conditions.”

This is a good time to remind all of our residents and our staff about the importance of healthy living. Every day at Fellowship Square-Mesa we offer residents multiple opportunities to take control of their lifestyle and stay out of the hospital.

Adultcare Assistance Homecare

We want to welcome our newest advertisers in the 
SPOTLIGHT Senior Services & Living Options Phoenix Guide


“IT IS PERSONAL TO ME!”
Discovering our limitations is tough.  My family knows firsthand.  When my husband was diagnosed with cancer we experienced sadness, exhaustion and stress.  My commitments to work and family stretched beyond my capability.  As others joined beside me, we pulled together as a team.  More important to my respite, my husband was able to thrive at home.  This is vital as living at home empowers independence, recovers dignity and grants familiarity leading to a healthier life.

Through my experience, I learned that home care in Arizona is different than in most of the country.  Arizona permits the use of independent contractors and does not require criminal background clearance for caregivers.  The lack of regulation in Arizona places citizens at risk.  The more I have learned, the more I have become involved in protecting seniors and their families.  This has led to Adultcare Assistance Homecare maintaining the highest standards for caregiver selection and training.  My desire to protect Arizona seniors extends beyond my company with my appointment as the President of the Arizona Chapter of the Home Care Association of America.

Asking for help made everything else possible.  As others were there for me, I am here for you.  Sometimes it helps to talk with somebody who understands.


Let’s Talk Soon,
