Home Care at Popa's Assisted Living sits in the Black Forest area of Colorado Springs, where you'll find quiet country living and regular sightings of deer and small critters across the 10-acre grounds, and folks can enjoy a peaceful walk on a well-kept path that loops around the property, which isn't always common in these sorts of places. Residents-both men and women, depending on the group home-live in a private house setting instead of a big facility, with a more personal feeling and plenty of space inside, including roomy living areas, a comfortable sunroom, and a choice between shared or private bedrooms. Meals are home-cooked, and nurses are always on staff, while doctors make weekly house calls and stay on call for health needs. There's a full staff awake 24 hours a day for safety, and caregivers handle medicine, personal hygiene, cleaning, and daily chores with care and due diligence, all while keeping up with strict cleaning routines so things stay tidy and safe.
Popa's also lets residents bring pets, which can help people feel more at home, and is fitted with wheelchair accessible showers and wide hallways for those using walkers. There are a few stairs, but they're easy to use with support if needed. Activities are scheduled daily, mixing social, educational, and entertainment options in both indoor and outdoor spaces, and there's a strong sense of neighborliness among everyone. The property's three group homes-Popa's, Kettle's, and Moma's-offer different environments, like Kettle's for memory care, and Moma's with vaulted ceilings and extra big bedrooms, so care can suit many needs as people age or require more help.
Popa's staff arrange rides to appointments, provide a salon with hair and nail services, and can coordinate therapy or hospice when needed, working with outside care partners, supporting seniors through many stages so they don't have to move again for extra help. Meals and transportation are included, and the place stays licensed by the State of Colorado, with a Nursing Home Administrator on record, which folks tend to find reassuring. Altogether, Popa's gives seniors a tranquil, home-like place to live in the Black Forest area, with enough support and daily structure to keep life comfortable, safe, and a little more interesting, all at a slower pace than in a big, busy senior building.
