Rose of Sharon

Rose of Sharon Assisted Living provides care in Greenwood Village and several other areas in Colorado, including Centennial, Littleton, and Aurora, and there are houses like Yukon House, Washington House, Sherman House, Valentia House, and Weaver House, with Yukon House being a large, pretty dated house that's kept quite clean by the staff, who really do show care for residents as they handle the everyday needs and keep a friendly, homelike feel. The houses close down for the night around 6 pm when most residents go to bed, so there isn't a call system for getting nighttime help, and caregivers then head downstairs until morning. The community has both assisted living and independent living apartments, studio, single room, and two-bedroom options, and there are nursing home rooms that are private or semi-private. Residents get help with things like bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting from personal care assistants, while nurses on staff provide medical support like wound care, medication help, and even wound care or podiatry, so seniors who might need more medical help can stay there. For those with memory loss, there are memory care units in the homes, and security features keep people safe if they wander or get confused, while families can count on guidance about long-term care, caregiving at home, and using Long-term Care Insurance, because the management helps people understand their options. The community accepts long-term care insurance and offers respite care and hospice if needed, so families can get a break or have support at the end of life. Some homes allow pets, and smoking isn't allowed indoors. People living there can enjoy nutritious meals with flexible dining, housekeeping help, and features like washers and dryers, safety items like sprinkler systems, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and game or activities rooms, and kitchens where some residents like to prepare their own snacks or meals. Residents have access to outdoor spaces, gardens, and activity rooms, plus walking paths and parks nearby, so they can enjoy the outdoors and even short hikes. To keep people involved and active, staff put on social activities, arts and crafts, recreation, education programs, fitness classes, and health and wellness events, and companionship is an important part of life there, so residents often make new connections with each other. There's occupational therapy and transport for getting to outside appointments when needed, and staff offer wheelchair help for those who need it getting around. The houses have a community management system that helps keep track of care, and rooms have private baths, with the focus being a more residential environment rather than a traditional facility feel. The place stands out for its group residential setting, the level of support for both daily living and special memory care, and the way staff encourage independence while offering expert guidance.
