What it reported doing in 2024
Christian housing mesa (m4) is a 65-unit hud subsidized apartment development for very-low-income seniors. In 2024, up to 41 residents living in one-bedroom apartments enjoy aging in place with assisted living services sponsored by Arizona long term care system. These services are provided at 1/3 the cost of skilled nursing services. Every resident in the assisted living program must first qualify for skilled nursing services. These services allow citizens with very low income to receive assisted living services with dignity in their home located on the christian housing mesa campus. Residents have easy access to low-cost transportation, chaplaincy services, beauty shops, and 24-hour security with an emergency call system.(cont'd on sch o)we believe "regardless of payer source", seniors should be able to take advantage of digital technology. Alexa dots operate on an enterprise level campus wi-fi system. Residents are not required to have a smart phone or an account with amazon. No private information is kept on the system. Without touching any screen residents can ask alexa what's for lunch, what's on the menu, call the front desk, security, fitness center, activities, beauty shop, kitchen, and friends. The alexas provide residents with their favorite music, adjust the volume, it reads the bible and other books available, plays ted talks, coaches them to do chair and brain workouts, reads the news, controls the thermostat, it changes the tv channels, it can find their favorite tv programs and the channel it is playing on, it can control the apartment lights, it provides directions to residents for the location of the swimming pool, workout center, the library, the gathering place, the to-go window, convenience store, the date and time and location of campus activities. Alexa also allows residents to set timers that automatically notify residents when it is time to take their prescriptions or go to an event.to conserve electricity and to help prevent falls, there are w-fi controlled thermostats in every apartment and in all common areas. All residents can use their voice to control their individual thermostat without having to get up to adjust it. Staff can also adjust the thermostats remotely, a feature that saves time and improves service.in 2024, christian housing mesa implemented the helpany fall prevention program as part of its ongoing commitment to ensuring the health and safety of its vulnerable, medicaid-supported senior residents. This comprehensive program utilized advanced motion-sensing technology and ai-driven analytics to monitor residents' mobility patterns and provide early alerts to staff when changes indicated an increased risk of falls. The system allowed caregivers to make proactive care decisions through a centralized digital dashboard that supported timely interventions and individualized service adjustments.alongside the technology, the program featured extensive staff training in fall prevention strategies and emergency response, as well as resident-specific mobility assessments designed to inform tailored support plans. Wellness initiatives focused on balance and strength-building were offered to residents, and environmental safety evaluations were conducted throughout the facility to eliminate potential fall hazards in both private apartments and common areas.the implementation of the helpany program resulted in a 90% reduction in falls at housing mesa compared to the previous year. This achievement significantly enhanced resident safety, reduced emergency medical interventions, and underscored christian housing mesa's commitment to delivering high-quality, mission-driven care to older adults with limited financial means.founded in 1979, the christian care companies began with 96 units of subsidized housing and a nursing center on the phoenix campus. The nursing center cornerstone quotes psalm 71:9, cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth. The organization is on
