St. Luke’s Home was recently featured in an Arizona Daily Star article titled Tucson assisted-living elders help teach future professionals. Below is a small bit of the article/
Tucson assisted-living elders help teach future professionals
St. Luke’s Home in midtown Tucson feels more like a bustling dormitory than an assisted-living facility.
It wouldn’t be a stretch, given its location near the University of Arizona. And while it is a residence for seniors, St. Luke’s is also a learning lab for aspiring medical professionals.
On a recent morning, the St. Luke’s dog, Rio, an energetic black Lab, had jumped into the fountain. Soaking wet and tracking puddles of water, he was chased through the hallway by resident elders and some visiting teenagers.
The facility’s bird, Pedro, chirped happily in an alcove. A group of residents sat in the front room socializing near a cooler full of cucumber/lemon water. In another room, more teenagers sat at a table with some elders playing an intense game of Uno.
In the dining room, a couple of residents looked over a mixed-media project they had just finished with the teens. The elder council had already decided the tree and mountain design, which will decorate the dining room wall, was missing something. They requested Tucson artist Lily Curtis help them to put an owl in the tree.
The scene was a typical one at St. Luke’s, which for many reasons is not a typical assisted-living facility. For one thing, unlike a current local trend of corporate ownership in local assisted living, St. Luke’s is not-for-profit and caters to low-income seniors.
