Raquita's Home Away From Home Assisted Living is a small senior living facility in Aurora, Colorado found at 2412 S Genoa Way. This community helps older adults who need help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, taking medication, and moving around, and people who have memory loss or need dementia care can also get support here because they have services just for that. The home has space for up to 6 or 7 residents at a time, so it's a close-knit place where it's easy to know the other people living there, and staff are around all day and night if anyone needs help or has a problem.
Residents can pick private or semi-private rooms that come fully furnished and there are communal living spaces for relaxing or joining in on group activities. Meals get made fresh every day, and the menu has options for those with special diets or diabetes, and if someone likes their room tidy but can't keep up on chores, staff take care of laundry and cleaning, too. The staff help with things like personal hygiene, getting dressed, using the bathroom, and other care needs, and they check in regularly on health, helping with things like medications or arranging for doctor visits.
There are simple comforts like an on-site café, internet access, television, daily fitness options, and a pet-friendly policy, so residents can have a dog or cat if they wish, and the secure environment is built with memory care in mind for those who need the extra assurance. Walking trails and outdoor areas let folks spend time outside and scheduled outings and activities, hobby groups, and crafts help keep the mind busy and make it easier to form friendships. The home has both group events and time for prayer, with chaplains available, plus transportation can be arranged for shopping or trips to the doctor. They offer short-term respite stays, too, in case someone needs care for just a little while.
With its small size and hands-on help, the staff focus on personalized care plans for each senior. The well-trained staff keep things calm and safe, and the atmosphere encourages independence while making sure everyone is looked after. The place is Medicaid-certified, gets checked by local and state agencies, and accepts residents with both low and high care needs, from basic help with daily life to more medical issues, all in a homelike setting where people are treated with respect.
