I have been in the long term care business for 35 years plus and been aware of Huger Mercy Living Center since its opening. I always loved the Arizona Model, beautiful outdoor areas, the longevity of the staff and the unique care provided for people living with dementia. I have recommended it as “a hidden gem” to so many families over the years. When my dad needed memory care I quickly got on the waiting list. He lived there 4 years and was loved and taken care of so well until his passing 4 months ago. We all were so grateful for the great food, staff, nursing care and especially the outstanding creative daily activities and special events. We can’t say enough about how wonderful Huger Mercy staff was the entire time not only to him but also to all of our family. I highly recommend Huger to any family in need of excellent memory care!

I visit senior living communities all over the Valley as part of my work and Huger Mercy Living Center stopped me in my tracks. It's a hidden gem off the 17 - a beautiful campus with a thoughtful cottage model designed around each stage of memory care, safe outdoor spaces residents can enjoy, and staff who have been there for decades. You can feel the 25+ years of heart and mission in this place. The story behind it - land donated by Dr. Huger after his wife's Alzheimer's journey. Maria, the Executive Director, was generous with her time and clearly leads with the mission in mind. Families looking for dedicated memory care should have this community on their list.

Excellent facility. The small cottages create a nice family atmosphere. Beautifully landscaped grounds, open to all residents to walk, sit, watch birds, and visit family and friends. No restrictions on when I can visit.<br>The activities are amazing! I’ve joined my husband for an Easter egg hunt, Valentine high-tea, and all sorts of musical events from the Phoenix symphony to rock and roll!<br>The staff is excellent, always pleasant and accessible.<br>My husband is comfortable, safe, happy, participating in life, having fun, and gaining weight! 🤩

A dear family member is at Huger where I’ve learned the difference between medical management and experiential care of Dementia. This facility is organically peaceful, the staff is authentically engaged. It feels safer than home. It supports, entertains, and lovingly challenges all residents, meeting them where they are. Music is paramount. Human interaction is daily. A “blast from the past” is intentional. No system is perfect. No single staff member can meet everyone’s individual needs. But the respect and effort of this culture supersedes any human frailty. I am forever grateful my beloved family member found his way to Huger. Seeing my dear bonus sister gain her life back with the peaceful supportive Huger community brings solace to my soul. No family should endure dementia but it’s a reality and the Huger family brings peace and support.

Both my mother and my mother-in-law were residents of Huger Mercy. We found Huger by a recommendation from another resident's loved one, and couldn't be more grateful. The care they both received up until the very end was caring and compassionate. We never felt that they did not receive the care they needed and deserved. Perhaps most importantly, Huger treats their residents like the living, breathing human beings that they are. They strive to let them live out their years with dignity. Many of the CNAs there have been there for a long time, as well as the nursing staff and activities director. To me this is a true testament that they love what they do. It takes a special kind of person to work with dementia patients, and Huger is full of them!

How our free service works, and how we are paid

Arizona asks us to share this with you in writing before we introduce you to a community.

MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps you find senior living. We are paid by our participating communities: if you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee. You never pay us anything.

We do not own or manage any community, and none owns us. Our only ties to the communities we list are the referral agreements that pay us and the listing upgrades some buy. A community that pays us is marked Partner or Sponsored on our site, and a community that has bought verification is marked Verified.

The communities we suggest may not be every one in your area, and we can only make introductions to communities that work with us. We suggest communities by the care you need, the area, your timeline and budget, and what families say about them, never by what a community pays us. If a community stops meeting our qualifications, for example its licence lapses or it stops accepting referrals, we stop suggesting it.

To make an introduction we share your name, contact details and the care needs you told us about, and nothing else. You can stop using our service at any time, for any reason and at no cost, and if you do we will let any community we introduced you to know.

Arizona law requires that we provide you with the following disclosure notice.

We are in the business of referring residents to assisted living facilities and assisted living homes. We will be paid by the assisted living facility or assisted living home if you move into one of the referred assisted living facilities or assisted living homes. The fee we receive from the assisted living facility or assisted living home into which you move typically ranges from 50 to 80 percent of your first month's rent and care charges. We do have a current business relationship but we do not have a common ownership or control in, or any other financial, business, management or familial relationship with, any of the assisted living homes and assisted living facilities to which we are referring you.

By providing us with a written or electronic notice, you have the right to terminate our services to you at any time, including our use of your personal information. If you terminate our services, we will not be entitled to any fee for any move-in you make after the date of the termination notice unless either:

1. The assisted living facility or assisted living home you choose within the next twelve months is one that we specifically identify and refer to you after we evaluate your profile and requests but before we receive your notice of termination.

2. You communicate with us before you move into the assisted living facility or assisted living home.
