THIS ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY IS A CLASS ACT

any adult children are finding the need to secure
a safe place for their parents to live but hate the
thought of a nursing home.
When their elderly parent cannot live alone anymore, it
can be a very difficult time. The elderly do not want to lose their
independence, but the children see the need for them to be in a
safe environment and have assistance with their daily activities.
Jon and Michelle Burgher started Class Act Assisted
Living Homes when Jon’s mom was approaching the time when
she could no longer live alone safely. “We looked at a few nursing
homes,” Jon said, “but knew she would hate the thought of living
in such an institutionalized, sterile environment.”
Then a friend suggested assisted living homes as an
alternative.
“We didn’t even know that they existed at the time, Jon
admitted. “So, we began to research them. The advantage
we found was that they provided a home atmosphere with a
maximum of 10 residents. The problem was that we could not
find one that had a balance of excellent care and provided activities for our mom to do to help keep her mind alert and give her
the social interaction she needed. That’s when we decided to
open our own home.”
The philosophy at Class Act Assisted Living Homes is
not only to provide a place for your loved one to reside, but
to ensure a loving family atmosphere where relationships and
friendships are formed.
“We offer exceptional physical care, and go far beyond with
emphasis on building a trusted and compassionate relationship with our residents and their families,” Jon continued. “We
balance this with a wide variety of fun things for our residents
to do besides sitting in front of the TV all day.
Class Act homes are located in beautiful residential neighborhoods in Mesa. Spacious bedrooms and multiple gathering
areas give residents the opportunity to socialize or relax on their
own. Each home has a large covered patio and water feature that
promotes a cozy, peaceful atmosphere.
“We provide all levels of care that ensures our residents
can remain in their familiar home among friends, even if their
level of care increases,” Jon stated with pride. “We have an
exceptional staff-to-resident ratio to ensure individual attention and encourage independence. Every member of our staff
is a licensed, certified caregiver and put through an extensive
training program before beginning to care for our valued residents. We also provide 24-hour English speaking awake staff.”
