Havilahome sits in a quiet spot at 1744 Mariposa Road in Canon City, Colorado, with new ranch-style town homes built in 2024 and lots of ground-floor units so there aren't any stairs to deal with, which makes moving around a lot easier for seniors who prefer things on one level and it's good that everything's handicap accessible too with concrete walkways and wide doors. The place has a real focus on independence with options for independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, and even home care, so folks get as much or as little help as they need. Havilahome welcomes cats and dogs, lets residents smoke outside, and has both inside and outside places to gather, so pets and people can both find a spot to relax or meet neighbors.
You get nice little touches, like washer and dryer in every unit and even granite countertops, so things feel new and clean, and there's central air if it gets too warm, plus a fire sprinkler system for safety. Some units have an extra room, called a den, which can be used as an office, a place to sit, or even as a private entrance, which would make it easy for visiting family or caregivers without walking through the whole house. There's fast internet and plenty of parking, including off-street spots with street lights for coming and going in the evenings.
For food, residents can cook for themselves with a full kitchen or kitchenette in their own place, or eat provided meals if cooking gets too hard, and there's help with grocery shopping if you need it. Staff are around to help when needed, and they speak English, so communication shouldn't be tough, and they're trained for different levels of care. Social life seems to matter here too, with a calendar full of on-site and offsite activities like live well programs, devotional activities in and out of the building, holiday parties, regular exercise, and even hiking, biking, fishing, and skiing nearby, since the property backs up onto a two-mile mountain trail and has nice mountain views, so folks who like the outdoors have plenty to see and do.
The community aims to support multigenerational living in a neighborhood that's still quiet but feels new, and they set their pricing in a personalized way depending on what a resident actually needs and which unit they pick. Havilahome adds in some extras not always found elsewhere, like home improvement suggestions, lease help, property records, and real estate agent comparisons for families thinking about buying or selling, and offers health, fitness, and weight management programs for folks who want to keep moving and eating right. Residents who need rides or parking get help, although transport costs extra sometimes, and parking is available if you still have a car. There's property management and lease creation tools to make changing living situations simpler, and plenty of safety features, like fire sprinklers and one-level units so folks with mobility issues can get in and out easily. Some information about services, amenities, or specific names of things isn't public, but you do get a good sense of a retirement-friendly community designed for seniors to live comfortably with the support they need.
