We believe Casa de Esperanza is the best kept secret in Tucson. Very special people reside at our facility and our staff becomes extended family. Our eldest resident is 101 and our youngest is 51!
We offer Supervisory and Direct Care Services
Owners are Linda Anderson-Haines and John Haines. We live on property. John has owned Casa de Esperanza for over two and one half years. Linda arrived in March, moving from Montana, leaving a 20 year career in tourism and hospitality in Seattle and Montana. John has owned businesses in California and Montana. We understand the aging process with parents, grandparents and loved ones. Through both properties of Casa de Esperanza and our staff, we make a difference on a daily basis in the lives of our residents.

Walking
There
are walk-ways with hand railiings around the courtyard of
the home, making it easy for resident to walk. There are plenty
of chairs to sit and visit. We also have a ramada that is
great for visiting or just taking a rest. At 7am we have coffee
set up outside for the residents. Over coffee our residents
visit and solve the world's problems.
Rooms
The
rooms are unfurnished and private. There are vanities in each
room so the resident can groom themselves at any time without
bothering others. Shared bathrooms have a commode and shower.
All rooms and bathrooms are equipped with emergency alarms.
When the alarm is pulled it rings into the kitchen and the
managers' room. There are two managers and one or the other
is present at all times. The alarm is answered within seconds.
Furniture
Residents
bring their own furniture which provides a feeling of belonging.
We encourage residents to hang pictures and put personal phootos
in their rooms. All rooms have central air conditioning, ceiling
fans, carpets, blinds, and a closet. The rooms are wired for
phones and cable. If residents wish to have either service
they make their own arrangements through the appropriate provider.
Residents generally furnish the room with a single bed, night
stand, lamp, dresser or chest, a comfortable chair and television.
Bedding
& Laundry
We
ask residents to bring two sets of bedding so that housekeeping
staff may strip the bedding and put clean sheets on at the
same time. Residents also bring their own towels. Cleaning
of the rooms occurs once a week, at which time personal laundry
is done. Each residents laundry is washed and dried separately
from the other residents. Families do not mark clothing. Assistance
with showers is available twice each week. Shower schedules
are established at the time of move-in.
Diets
& Medication
We
make the necessary adjustments for residents with special
dietary requirements . Snacks are brought to their rooms at
3pm every day. All medications are given to the residents
by the manager at the appropriate time. No medication is allowed
in the resident's room. If residents choose to have medication
in bubble packs we will remove ordering of medications. If
they choose not to use bubble packs, they or a family member
will fill the med boxes. Arizona State Law prohibits us from
filling med boxes. All employees are trained and certified
in CPR and first aid.
Holidays
We
celebrate holiday with parties for the residents. Family members
are invited to celebrate the 4th of July cook-out and a Christmas
party with us. Birthdays are a special day for our residents
and they choose what they would like for their birthday dessert,
which is served at the 5:30pm meal. Candles on the dessert
and singing, "Happy Birthday" always seem to make
for a happy day for the resident. Various groups visit to
entertain the residents.
