Millbrook Homes Assisted Living - Kenton Way sits in a quiet Englewood, Colorado neighborhood close to shops, parks, and medical offices, so when seniors need to get out or see a doctor, they've got options nearby. This board and care home holds up to five residents, so staff get to know each person and can help with things like bathing, dressing, getting in and out of bed, and managing medicines, and there's always someone around, even at night, to check on folks or help if someone needs assistance, with regular visits by an on-call nurse and access to more healthcare professionals when needed. The place serves homemade meals, adjusts for special diets like diabetes or high blood pressure, and will help with things like manual feeding or incontinence care, and anyone who needs a snack or a cup of tea can usually get one. Residents choose between private and semi-private rooms-each one furnished and with the comforts you'd expect, like cable TV, Wi-Fi, phone service, and some even have their own emergency systems just in case someone takes a spill.
The staff at Millbrook Homes are friendly, and a lot of people say there's a peaceful atmosphere, with daily activities, arts and crafts, fitness classes, and even animal therapy and music programs on the calendar. There's a garden and outdoor spots where folks can read, sit with a pet, or just relax in the fresh air, and they do fun things like community meals, cooking or fall prevention classes, and games for everyone, which helps people stay active and social. The home also brings in a mobile hairdresser and hosts parties for birthdays or special occasions, which makes moving in feel less like giving something up and more like joining a small community. For those who like to get out, transportation is provided for medical visits, trips to the store, or sometimes outings to places of worship, and there's on-site parking if a visitor wants to come by.
Housekeeping and laundry get done for everyone, and for those who need extra help-maybe with Parkinson's, memory loss, or trouble moving around-the staff provides care and special accommodations. The building is secure, has grab bars, and allows pets with permission, so someone who brings a little dog or cat won't have to give up their companion. Millbrook Homes Assisted Living - Kenton Way is state-licensed, Medicaid certified, regulated by Colorado's Department of Social Services, and has payment options like private pay, long-term care insurance, and Veterans Aid and Attendance, which sometimes takes a load off the family. The monthly price starts around $3,000, but it can change based on how much care is needed or what room someone picks. Families can set up short stays for respite care, so caregivers get a break when they need it, and folks who live here benefit from having staff always around to help keep them as independent as possible in a warm, home-like setting.
