Serenity House Assisted Living Centennial is an assisted living home in Centennial, Colorado, and is one of 17 locations run by Michael Zislis, PT, who's a physical therapist with over 30 years of experience, and what you really get here is a smaller, residential setting instead of a big facility, and that means residents get more personal attention from staff who know them. The home's licensed by the State of Colorado, and it's actually been in operation since 1998, earning the State Health Department 'Best Practice' award, so there is some stability here, and being part of the larger Assured Serenity Assisted Living community means there's a structure and programming that come from a bigger organization, but you still get a home-like feel.
Here, seniors who need help with daily living-bathing, dressing, transferring, and medication management-find support, and there's even a memory care program and help for those with physical disabilities, cognitive challenges, or traumatic brain injury. There's always a staff team on-site for 24-hour supervision and healthcare assistance, plus medication management and coordination with outside healthcare providers. Folks can bring their pet, and the rooms come fully furnished, with housekeeping and linen service, which really cuts down on chores. The home's handicap accessible, and residents have meals provided, with special diet options like diabetes-friendly food prepared too, and there's always staff around to help if someone needs assistance with eating.
To keep things social, there are daily and community-sponsored activities, and there's Wi-Fi/high-speed internet in the house, so people can stay in touch with family or enjoy hobbies online. Staff takes care of arranging transportation for medical visits, so no one misses doctor's appointments, and if a family caregiver needs a break, the respite care program lets them step away for a little while. Move-in coordination helps new residents settle in, and staff try to treat people like family, focusing on making everyone feel cared for and safe. They keep the group small, and often women-only, so it maintains an intimate environment where staff members have time to get to know residents and their routines. There's a memory care program with specialized activities for those with advanced dementia, and the traumatic brain injury program is there for those with that set of challenges. Even though the place is part of a large group, the environment is calm and home-like, and the goal really seems to be steady support and comfort for seniors at varying levels of need. Serenity House Assisted Living Centennial is near Highlands Ranch, making it pretty convenient for people from the south Denver metro area, and if you want to see what daily life is like, they offer tours, and you can look over their brochure for more details on what to expect.
