Lighthouse Assisted Living

Lighthouse Assisted Living runs small residential homes for seniors around Highlands Ranch, Littleton, Centennial, and Englewood in Colorado, and they're family owned and operated since 2002, so you get a bit of that home-like feeling you don't always see in bigger places, with most homes having about eight or nine beds, mostly private rooms with private bathrooms, and common areas where people can visit or relax, and the whole set-up aims to bring comfort by focusing on each resident's specific needs and making sure everybody gets personal attention, whether that means independent living, help with daily tasks, memory care, diabetic care, incontinence care, even skilled nursing or hospice, so folks can stick around as their needs change over time without having to move all over town. You'll find places like Steele House, Elizabeth House, Irwin House, and Maplewood House in the mix, each set up to be peaceful, with staff that's both nurse owned and nurse operated, and the homes are licensed by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, so you know they meet health and care rules. Lighthouse keeps its focus on helping people stay connected with family and the community, and wants everyone to feel like decisions are shaped by what the residents prefer. They offer tours to families that want to look around first, and there's a volunteer program and even things like QMAP and CPR classes, plus a Gerocognitive Exam for those who might need it, and with multiple levels of care under one roof, it's easier on both residents and their loved ones, allowing people to stay in the same familiar place as their needs change, which is usually more affordable than nursing home care; Lighthouse doesn't take Medicare unless certified by CMS but works with state and local agencies to make sure all the rules and oversight happen like they should. You'll see plenty of studio rooms and home care services as well, and the main idea really seems built around doing what's right for seniors, in a modest, practical way that tries not to feel institutional.
