Written by Glassford Place | Nov 30, 2025 5:00:00 AM

Glassford Place in Prescott Valley, AZ, understands the unique needs of seniors and offers custom care to accommodate each resident. This is possible through personalized care plans, a flexible lifestyle, and adaptive dining and wellness support.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), between 2015 and 2050, the proportion of the world's population over 60 years will nearly double from 12% to 22%. The elderly population is rapidly growing, and the world needs to be better equipped to help them thrive.

This is only possible through support that adapts to each senior's unique needs. And in Prescott Valley, AZ, this is exactly what Glassford Place provides. For quality aging support in Arizona, you can count on us to have a good balance between necessary support and independence, and this can help older adults live more fulfilling lives.

What Kind of Support Does an Elderly Person Need?

Typically, an elderly person will need a combination of the following types of support to attain a high quality of life:

  • Physical: Mobility assistance, medication reminders, chronic disease monitoring
  • Emotional: Companionship, reassurance
  • Social: Opportunities for meaningful interactions
  • Practical: Transportation, housekeeping, home safety modifications, financial or paperwork assistance

Of course, the level of support will vary for each senior. However, the goal is to promote independence while ensuring safety, comfort, and dignity.

What Are the Five Basic Human Needs in Aged Care?

Aged care providers must address the five basic human needs, as they come together to ensure holistic care. These needs are:

  1. Physical: Nutrition, hygiene, mobility, sleep,  and healthcare management
  2. Emotional: Feeling respected, understood, and supported
  3. Social: Companionship, community engagement, and opportunities to maintain meaningful relationships
  4. Cognitive: Mental stimulation, such as memory exercises, lifelong learning, and activities that encourage problem-solving and creativity
  5. Safety: Secure living environment, fall prevention, medication oversight, and emergency planning

When all five needs are addressed, this gives older adults holistic care that supports their overall well-being.

The Personalized Senior Care Offered at Glassford Place

If you're interested in Prescott Valley assisted living, then a top contender should be Glassford Place. Our number one goal is to ensure that our residents enjoy daily living, and these are the methods we use to do that.

Personalized Care Plans

Seniors are diverse people with their own level of need. We understand that care isn't a one-size-fits-all topic, which is why we offer flexible daily assistance.

Our staff members can help with anything from bathing and medication reminders to dressing and grooming. In addition, we provide weekly linen and housekeeping services to keep your chores to a minimum.

With needs-based senior services, each resident is in full control of what type of assistance they receive and when they get it. As a result, they can retain more independence, dignity, and privacy.

Flexible Lifestyle

There's never a dull moment at Glassford Place, and this is thanks to our signature Vibrant LifeĀ® program. In it are plenty of activities, such as:

  • Social events
  • Exercise classes
  • Spiritual opportunities
  • Outings

However, none of these activities is mandatory. Instead, residents are free to pick and choose what they participate in, so everyone's daily schedule is personalized.

This flexibility allows you to adapt your daily life based on your mood, energy, or health, which can all change on any given day. As a result, there's less pressure and more freedom and autonomy.

Adaptive Dining and Wellness Support

Keeping up with nutrition is vital to every senior's well-being. Without it, not only can your energy levels decrease, but also your overall health.

Our ElevateĀ® Dining program gives our residents an enhanced culinary experience, as we utilize fresh cooking to create their favorite home-style meals. Not only do the dishes taste good, but they also deliver proper nutrition in each bite.

All of our chef-created menus are certified by a registered dietician, meaning that you can have peace of mind about what you put in your body. In addition, you can count on us to accommodate your dietary requirements or restrictions. 

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is the Most Requested Support Service for the Elderly?

The most requested support service for the elderly is help with activities of daily living (ADLs). This is when others assist with essential tasks, such as:

  • Bathing
  • Grooming
  • Mobility assistance
  • Meal preparation
  • Medication reminders

This is extremely beneficial because, as we age, several factors make routine activities more challenging. For example, we go through chronic health conditions and physical limitations, as well as reduced stamina.

Ultimately, assistance with ADLs can preserve independence while offering security.

What Are Examples of Social Support for Older Adults?

According to Michigan Medicine, 1 in 3 older adults experiences loneliness and isolation. The numbers were higher in those reporting fair or poor health, so there's a correlation. Social support for older adults can therefore strengthen emotional well-being and physical health.

Examples of such support include:

  • Regular visits from family and friends
  • Participation in senior activities
  • Involvement in hobby clubs
  • Joining faith-based communities
  • Receiving technology-based support

How to Make Seniors Feel Valued?

What makes seniors feel valued is when you recognize their experiences and honor their independence.

Loved ones can ensure that this happens by actively listening. They can also encourage seniors to stay involved in family decisions or community roles.

In addition, loved ones can celebrate things that strengthen self-worth, such as:

  • Achievements
  • Milestones
  • Cultural traditions

Lastly, consistent companionship can be extremely valuable. Older adults need to feel heard, respected, and included.
