    Quiet friendly church-oriented senior community

    I toured this quaint, small senior house and was very pleased - the staff were wonderful, attentive, and knowledgeable, the food was terrific, and the community felt friendly and church-oriented. It's quiet and mellow, conveniently close to hospitals and doctors, and has an elevator; I would recommend it.

    Summary of reviews

    Overall sentiment across the provided review summaries is positive, with reviewers emphasizing strong staff performance, a pleasant small-facility atmosphere, and good food. Multiple comments characterize staff as attentive, knowledgeable, and wonderful, which suggests a high level of personal care and resident-focused attention. The facility is described as friendly and welcoming, with residents forming a congenial group; reviewers used words like "awesome place," "quaint house," and "wonderful staff," indicating general satisfaction and a homelike environment.

    Care quality and staff: The dominant theme is confidence in the staff. Several summaries specifically call staff attentive and knowledgeable, and others praise them as wonderful. These points indicate that caregivers and front-line employees are a clear strength and likely provide individualized attention. While the reviews do not elaborate on clinical outcomes or staffing ratios, the repeated positive descriptors imply strong interpersonal care and reliable day-to-day support.

    Facilities and accessibility: Reviewers note the facility is small and described as a quaint house, which supports a homelike, intimate setting rather than a large institutional environment. The location is cited as convenient—close to hospitals and doctors' offices—which is an important practical advantage for medical appointments and emergent care. An elevator is available, which helps with mobility and access between floors. However, there are notable facility-related concerns: reviewers observed that rooms on the level they saw do not have private bathrooms and instead rely on at least one shared bathroom. Additionally, a sublevel room was described as a concrete room that is not well lit. Those points raise potential accessibility, comfort, privacy, and safety questions for prospective residents, especially for anyone with mobility or vision concerns.

    Dining and atmosphere: Dining receives clear praise in the summaries: reviewers describe the food as terrific. Combined with descriptions of a quiet and mellow atmosphere, the impression is of a calm, comfortable living environment with satisfactory meals. The small size and "quaint house" descriptors further reinforce a cozy, less institutional feel that some families and residents prefer.

    Activities, management, and information gaps: The reviews provide little to no detail about structured activities, programming, or management responsiveness beyond staff interactions. There are no explicit mentions of organized activities, entertainment, therapy services, or administrative communication. Another recurring procedural concern is that tours were brief; one summary explicitly calls the tour brief, which could indicate limited opportunity to evaluate the facility fully during a visit. Prospective residents and families may want to request extended tours and more detailed information about activities, staffing levels, emergency procedures, and policies.

    Notable patterns and recommendations: Summaries consistently praise staff and dining and highlight the convenience of the location, suggesting these are reliable strengths. The most significant and repeated concerns center on bathroom arrangements and the sublevel room conditions (concrete, poorly lit), and on the brevity of tours. Those are concrete, actionable items a prospective resident should investigate further—ask which rooms have private bathrooms, inspect the sublevel living spaces and their lighting/finishing, confirm accessibility and safety features, and request a longer, more detailed tour. Because the facility is small and described as home-like, it may suit people seeking a quieter, intimate environment, but the bathroom configuration and sublevel room condition could be deal-breakers for those needing private facilities or improved living-space finishings.

    About Friendship House at the Home

    Friendship House at The Home sits in Canon City, Colorado, and works as a licensed assisted living residence, holding 36 private and furnished units, and doesn't have any shared rooms, so each resident gets a space to call their own, and always offers both assisted living and independent living options alongside support like short-term nursing care, long-term care, and even memory care, which means families can find tailored help all on one campus. The building falls under the oversight of state and local authorities, and uses a campus model that also offers senior subsidized housing, low-cost apartments for independent seniors, and home care with trained aides for those who prefer help in their own place, so there's a broad set of choices no matter how much care a person needs. Folks can get help with bathing, dressing, transfers, medication management, diabetic care, and incontinence support-around the clock-with a 24-hour call system, plus non-ambulatory care for those with mobility challenges, while meals meet special dietary needs like allergies and diabetes, all served in a community-run, restaurant-style dining room, or all-day dining for more flexibility. Residents get three meals and access to snacks, regular housekeeping and laundry services, plus a library, an arts and crafts room, scheduled transportation for errands, a beauty salon or barber on site, and a busy calendar of resident-run and offsite activities like movie nights or devotional gatherings at the IOOF Chapel, and there's even a big canopy of trees outside where squirrels and birds gather, so it's easy to feel close to nature. Pets like cats and small dogs are welcome with weight limits set, and smoker-friendly policies do exist, while indoor common areas, walking paths, move-in coordination services, and guest parking rounds out the amenities. Staff make sure to focus on dignity and independence, offering help when asked and encouraging social programs, and residents receive consistent care, with a price usually starting around $4,300 a month, though actual cost depends on care level and what services are needed, and community accepts Medicaid, Medicaid LTC and Waiver, long-term care insurance, and private pay, but does not take Medicare unless specially certified. The community is tied to the Colorado IOOF and is known for keeping a family-like atmosphere thanks to its compassionate caregivers who work side-by-side with each resident, which brings peace of mind for family members wanting safe, affordable care close by, and though it doesn't claim to be perfect or fancy, Friendship House at The Home keeps life simple and dependable for seniors needing a supportive place to live.
