Rose of Sharon Assisted Living sits at 6988 S Valentia St, Englewood, CO, but also has houses in Littleton, Centennial, and Aurora, with places like Yukon House, Washington House, Sherman House, Valentia House, and Weaver House, so you'll find it's more than just one building-it's a handful of homes tucked into cozy neighborhoods. The community helps seniors keep their independence by offering both assisted living and memory care. People can choose between semi-private and private suites, all of which come fully furnished with kitchenettes, private bathrooms, air-conditioning, cable TV, telephone, and Wi-Fi, and if you need something simple, you'll find shared rooms or private ones depending on what suits the resident. There's always housekeeping, linen service, maintenance-free living, and staff that aims to treat every resident with "The Platinum Rule"-meaning they try to give each person the type of care they'd want for their own parents, which sounds thoughtful and honest.
The homes at Rose of Sharon offer different levels of care, from basic support with daily activities like bathing and dressing, all the way up to help with medications, high acuity care for those with serious health needs, diabetic care, incontinence care, memory care for dementia and Alzheimer's, and even non-ambulatory care. Board and care homes in residential neighborhoods help a small number of residents with more personalized attention, and there's always 24-hour supervision and a call system for safety, which means you can rest a little easier if you worry about loved ones at night. Transportation is provided for doctor's visits or errands, and meals are made with organic foods, with special diets like diabetes-friendly options prepared, and there's a garden in the yard where tomatoes and cucumbers get grown for fresh eating.
People can age in place, moving through care levels without having to leave their familiar surroundings, and there are innovative options like continuing care retirement communities for folks who want to plan out their future care. Specialized memory care units provide a safe and calm place for those with dementia, with programs and memory-enhancing activities, and all memory care communities offer supervision around the clock. Staff receive extra COVID-19 safety training to keep things clean and safe, which is something families have come to expect now. Common areas give residents room for socializing and activities, there are spaces for recreation and therapy, a steady schedule of community-sponsored events, and plenty of chances for connection.
Amenities focus on comfort and ease, so you'll find things like resort-style features, maintenance-free living that takes away worries about cooking, cleaning, or housework, and help with everything from medication to daily personal care. There are respite care options if someone needs a short-term place to stay, and everything is set up to make it easier for seniors to maintain their autonomy while still having support right there when it's needed. Rose of Sharon Assisted Living isn't fancy for show, but it's clear the focus is on supporting both health and independence, offering care that can change as needs change, all inside a setting that feels like a real home, with real people ready to help.
