Assured Serenity Assisted Living 25 sits at 6128 South Iola Way in Englewood, Colorado, and belongs to one of the larger groups of residential care homes in the state, with 17 communities across Denver, Englewood, Centennial, Lakewood, and Littleton, so folks get a small, home-like feel but with the structure found in bigger facilities, because they've been doing this since 1998, and they keep a family-owned approach, with Michael Zislis, who's a licensed physical therapist, running things. Residents can get help with bathing, dressing, medication, and transfers, and each person gets attention based on their own needs and preferences, with staff around at all hours to make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable. For those needing more than just regular help, they've got memory care for people living with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia, and they offer support for folks with traumatic brain injury, which isn't something you find everywhere, and they can even provide home care for families who want to keep loved ones at home.
Meals here come prepared for different dietary needs, including diabetes, and folks can choose between one-bedroom units starting at $5,914 a month or semi-private rooms at $4,929, and rooms come fully furnished with access to cable TV and wifi, which makes things pretty convenient. The activities run every day, from music and pet therapy to aromatherapy, and there are events aimed at keeping people both active and engaged, and socializing's a big part of daily life with community-sponsored programs. Residents also enjoy services like transportation to doctor's visits, housekeeping, fresh linens, and help with things like laundry, so families don't have to worry about the small stuff. The place keeps a warm, non-institutional feel, with a focus on keeping things lively and comfortable, so people feel at home, not like they're in a hospital, and with the Eden Alternative registration, there's a philosophy in place pushing respect and dignity for every resident.
Facilities hold a 'Best Practice' award from the State Health Department, and reviews often mention the dedication of the staff and the caring environment, so there's a history here of folks wanting to do things the right way for over 30 years. Respite care is available too, which means caregivers can get a temporary break if they need, and for families who want a brochure or a tour, those are options for learning more before making decisions. The community keeps a small, intimate setting, which suits residents who want a quieter life or need more individualized support, and with regular physical and occupational therapy on-site, as well as engaging activities, the aim seems to be making sure the later years are both comfortable and meaningful.
