Aurora Makarios Assisted Living sits in a quiet spot in Aurora, CO, offering a family-owned approach since 1992 with only eight beds, so the place stays small and personal, and residents get to know each other as well as the staff-staff members are always nearby, friendly, and trained, and you'll always see help, no matter the hour, whether someone needs medication management, help with bathing, getting dressed, or just a gentle hand moving around. Meals come made from organic food and quality ingredients, and those with special diets like diabetes get good choices, but the meal service also means no one has to fuss in the kitchen unless they'd rather enjoy their own kitchenette since the suites and shared rooms all come fully furnished with things like private bathrooms, air-conditioning, and space to bring in personal items, so it feels like home without the chores. Housekeeping, linen change, and laundry are part of daily life, and nurses and aides keep watch around the clock, so if someone presses the call button or needs urgent help, care's close, and medication gets handled safely every day.
The building sits with room for walking, has paths, a community lounge, and gardens with a greenhouse, plus the kitchen stays open for hobbies, and residents can join group activities or just enjoy the HD TVs, movies, or cable in their studio spaces. Telephone, WiFi, and cable services come right to each room to help residents stay connected with friends and family, and there's always transportation for going to medical appointments or any doctor's visit, so no one feels stranded. The community welcomes seniors who want assisted living, memory care for dementia, skilled nursing, independent living, even short-term respite, and home care, all in one organized place, and care plans get adjusted-some folks need a bit of help, others need more, like for conditions such as Parkinson's or incontinence, and the caregivers use simple language as most staff speak English fluently, and they're used to helping with daily needs and medical care.
Safety stays a focus since rooms have emergency alert systems, wheelchair access, and 24-hour supervision, and staff coordinate with medical teams when needed. Residents get to enjoy entertainment, movie nights, gardening projects, exercise, and daily social events, meant to keep minds and bodies active, and the atmosphere stays friendly and relaxed, meant for comfort and dignity. The home's policy doesn't accept Medicare for residential care, though Medicaid might be possible through certain state programs, and the reported average price is $173 near the community. Advisors are available most days of the week, Monday through Friday from 8am to 9pm, and weekends 8am to 5:30pm, guiding families with free information, matching loved ones to the level of care needed, and offering honest answers, and lots of families say this helps them feel more confident. Aurora Makarios Assisted Living wants to help residents stay as independent as possible, supporting daily life but encouraging autonomy, and the staff aims to create a truly welcoming community where everyone's treated like family and feels valued.
