Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)

How ADLs Complement Assisted Living, Memory Care & Respite Care

Understanding activities of daily living Page offerings is essential for families seeking compassionate, person-centered care for loved ones. At BeeHive Homes of Page, AZ, our approach to ADLs combines heartfelt support, regulatory compliance under Arizona law, and the warmth of our local community’s traditions. From assistance with bathing and dressing to grooming and meal support, we fulfill daily needs with dignity, respect, and a sense of home.

What Are Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)?

ADLs refer to essential self-care tasks each person needs to perform daily—such as bathing, dressing, feeding, grooming, toileting, and safe mobility—fundamental to independent living and well-being. At BeeHive Homes of Page, we take these deeply personal moments and transform them into compassionate, supportive experiences, helping residents maintain dignity and a sense of self each day.

Care Guided by Arizona Regulations

Arizona defines personal care services, a core component of ADLs, as assistance with self-care tasks that do not require professional medical training—and these may include some medication coordination. Additionally, assisted living facilities like ours must follow state rules for staffing, training, and maintaining individual service plans (also known as “service plans”).

Arizona’s Department of Health Services mandates that residents receive a written service plan documenting their ADLs and other assisted living needs. This plan must be reviewed regularly—every six months for personal care situations—to ensure it remains accurate and responsive to any changes.

Personalized ADL Support at BeeHive Homes of Page

At our 16-bed home on Elk Road, each resident’s ADL support begins with a thorough, caring evaluation that goes beyond simply checking boxes. We take the time to sit down with families, listen to personal stories, and learn about a resident’s lifelong habits, cultural background, and health needs. This initial process helps us design a personalized service plan, as required by Arizona regulations, that guides how our staff provide daily support. For one resident, this may mean a steady hand while walking to the dining room; for another, it could be gentle assistance with bathing, shaving, or choosing clothing that reflects their personality and style. Mealtime support is also thoughtfully provided, whether through reminders, setup assistance, or full help with feeding if needed.

Our goal is never to take over tasks unnecessarily but to partner with residents in ways that keep them active and independent as long as possible. Even small choices—like allowing a resident to brush their own hair while we assist with fastening buttons, or encouraging them to walk a few steps on their own before lending support—help preserve dignity and self-confidence. We also honor cultural preferences and traditions that may influence daily routines, particularly for those with ties to the Navajo Nation or other indigenous communities of northern Arizona. In every interaction, our caregivers combine skill, patience, and compassion, making ADL support at BeeHive Homes of Page not just a service, but a daily expression of respect and love.

Respectful Care Rooted in Community and Culture

Here in Page, the land and people shape our sense of home. Many of our residents have spent lifetimes among the sweeping vistas of Lake Powell and Glen Canyon National Park, or were raised within hardworking families tied to the dam, power plant, schools, and local tourism. Others carry with them wisdom rooted in Native American traditions, storytelling, and spiritual practices that continue to enrich our community today. At BeeHive Homes of Page, we honor these legacies by crafting ADL support that reflects cultural values and personal history—whether it’s guiding hair grooming routines with sensitivity to tradition, offering mobility assistance in ways that respect both comfort and pride, or simply taking time to listen to stories of life on the land. Every act of care is an opportunity to celebrate where our residents come from and ensure they feel seen, respected, and at home.

How ADLs Complement Assisted Living, Memory Care & Respite Care

At BeeHive Homes of Page, the way we support Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) is woven into every service we provide. Whether a resident is with us long-term, staying for a short respite visit, or experiencing memory-related changes, ADL assistance is the foundation that ensures comfort, dignity, and daily well-being.

Promoting Independence within Daily Support

We aim to empower seniors, inviting them to do as much as they can, and stepping in with gentle hands only as needed. For instance:

• Encouraging self-feeding during meals, with adaptive utensils or setup help
• Supporting safe mobility through handrails, sturdy chairs, and hands-on guidance
• Offering choice in clothing and grooming routines to maintain personal style and autonomy

This approach aligns with rehabilitation best practices, which show that active participation in self-care supports dignity, function, and quality of life.

ADL Support Backed by Safety and Legal Standards

Under Arizona law, caregivers and staff must be trained appropriately for the services they deliver. While Arizona ADL assistance does not require nursing credentials, caregivers must receive first aid and CPR training, and facilities must maintain oversight through licensed managers.

Additionally, Title-9 regulations require facilities to have written policies on ADL support, incident reporting, resident rights, and quality management.
