Franklin House RTF is a medium-sized assisted living and residential treatment facility for seniors and adults with disabilities or mental illness in Denver, Colorado, and it's licensed for up to 11 residents, so it feels smaller and closer to a family home than some bigger places, with one-bedroom suites, studio apartments, and shared units that are all fully furnished and have things like telephones, cable, and Wi-Fi, which helps you keep in touch and stay connected, and the staff there helps with everyday needs like bathing, dressing, transfers, incontinence care, and medication management, plus they've got 24-hour supervision and a licensed RN on staff, so there's always someone around if something comes up any time of day or night. Folks can get memory care including dementia and Alzheimer's disease support, as well as respite stays for when caregivers need a break, and they've even got mental health treatment beds because they work with residents who need extra help, and they make individual care plans to focus on privacy and personal choices, which means letting people keep as much independence as possible while still giving help when needed. Meals are homemade and served every day in the dining room, and the chefs can handle dietary needs or diabetes diets, plus there's a staff dietitian, and snacks out any time, so no one has to worry about going hungry or struggling with special food requirements.
The building itself is safe and accessible, with ADA-compliant bathrooms, a 24-hour secured premise, and fun things like a reading room, games, community evening events, movie nights, a Jacuzzi, steam or fitness area, hairstylist visits, and planned activities, with lots of community events, art classes, music therapy, and even massage therapy services. Residents can spend time outdoors since they've got a garden and walking paths, plus parking, so friends and family can visit, and pets sometimes come by for therapy, while technology classes help people learn computer skills if they want to. There's help moving in, home care for those staying at home, and full housekeeping, linen, and laundry services, so no one has to fuss over chores, and all meals and cleaning are included, which takes a lot of worry away.
Franklin House RTF arranges transportation for medical appointments, errands, or religious services, and can help with moving between doctors, specialists, or programs in its care network, which also includes links to outside resources, health education centers, and even legislative news for those interested. People in wheelchairs are supported, routine health monitoring is standard, and residents can get physical therapy, ongoing health assessments, and manual feeding help as needed. There's a games room for cards or bingo, emergency alert systems, large-screen TVs, concierge services, and a wellness center to keep life interesting and comfortable. The staff there respects privacy and works to make everyone feel at home and safe in a calm environment, focusing on kindness, professionalism, and helping each person live as independently as possible while being part of a supportive community. The community doesn't accept Medicare unless certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, but it does provide guides and help to find resources or state/federal assistance if needed, and there's always some way to get the right information or support thanks to their resource network.
