Best of Heart LLC

Best of Heart LLC is a state-licensed residential assisted living home located at 35913 West Cartegna Lane in Maricopa, Arizona. Operating under Arizona license ALH20264 with a licensed capacity of 9 residents, it is one of two separately licensed Best of Heart homes in Maricopa — this location on West Cartegna Lane is distinct from the operator's home on West Cathedral Rock Pass. As an assisted living home, it offers care in a smaller, home-like setting with a residential atmosphere. Families exploring assisted living homes in Maricopa and the surrounding Pinal County area can contact the home directly to confirm current availability, services, and pricing, or reach out to SeniorVue for free, local guidance.

This community is a smaller kind of assisted living. In Arizona, an assisted living home is a regular house in a neighborhood that is licensed to care for ten or fewer residents at a time, rather than a large apartment-style building. Daily life in these homes usually feels close-knit: residents share meals and living spaces in a family-style setting, with far fewer neighbors than a large community.

Arizona licenses three levels of care in these homes. Supervisory care means general watchfulness and help in an emergency. Personal care means hands-on help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing and eating. Directed care is the most supportive level. It is for residents who need continuous care and watchfulness, including people with dementia or other conditions that affect memory, judgment or safety. The level a home is licensed to provide is listed in Arizona’s public licensing record.

The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) licenses these homes, sets the maximum number of residents, and inspects them. The license number, license status, care levels and inspection history for every licensed home are public and free to review on AZ Care Check (opens in a new window), Arizona’s official licensing website.

Because each home is different, the best way to know whether one fits your family is to call and tour it. Ask how many caregivers are on duty during the day and at night, what a typical day looks like, and what happens if a resident’s care needs increase.
