Abbys Assisted Living I sits in a calm Southeast Denver neighborhood, tucked away on a quiet cul de sac surrounded by single-family homes, where residents live in a Tudor-revival house with a brick and stucco front, evergreens, shade trees, and garden beds outside that mark the passing seasons with color. This small care home can host up to eight seniors, which makes the atmosphere feel intimate and friendly, with staff and residents getting to know each other well. The home's been updated to be comfortable and modern since it was built, but it still holds a classic, home-like feeling, and the rooms come in different styles-many with private bathrooms and wheelchair-accessible showers. Wheelchairs and walkers move easily through the spaces, and the house has safety features, helpful for people with different needs.
Residents get help with things like dressing, bathing, going to the bathroom, and moving about, and there's medication management and health services available around the clock. Nursing staff stay ready to step in if needed. The home welcomes people over 55, including those with Alzheimer's, Dementia, diabetes, and higher medical needs, and the dedicated staff works day and night. Meals get planned by chefs and meal planners to be tasty and balanced, with special attention given to dietary needs, whether someone eats vegetarian, kosher, or needs a diabetes-friendly diet, and snacks always stay available. Everyone eats in a shared dining room, and the kitchen is open for social time or family visits. Those with small pets, like cats or dogs, can bring them because Abby's understands how much pets can mean for companionship. The staff includes caregivers with decades of experience, and a doctor and a hairdresser sometimes visit the house for check-ups and haircuts.
People living here can pick from many daily activities in the house or out in the community, with schedules set for social, mental, emotional, and spiritual engagement-there's a mix of religious services including Adventist, Buddhist, Christian, and Islamic, so everyone feels recognized. For recreation, there are common areas, Wi-Fi for computers, cable or satellite TV, indoor and outdoor spaces, and garden beds to enjoy, or off-site outings when possible. Housekeeping and laundry services are done for everyone, dry cleaning can be arranged, and people get help keeping their own living spaces and kitchenettes clean too, with maid service offered regularly. Families visiting or calling can expect updates and details about how their loved ones are doing, and primary caregivers can get a break through respite care services. Transportation is available for medical appointments and group outings. Living at Abby's Assisted Living I means staying in a small, caring place with a staff that knows each person, where meals are made with care, and the routines support people needing different levels of help throughout their day.
