Almost Like Home sits in Arvada, Colorado on West 65th Avenue and has 72 assisted living units with secured beds for those who need memory care and has been licensed and governed by Colorado's Department of Social Services for up to 12 residents at a time, although the building itself can support more. The place offers both assisted living and memory care and provides support with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and help with moving around the building, and they've got people trained in Parkinson's care and also can spoon-feed when needed. The accommodations are simple and comfortable and come as studio suites, single rooms, or semi-private living spaces, and everything's fully furnished so there's not a lot folks will need to bring except their special things to make it feel more like their own spot.
Meals are home-cooked three times a day with snacks available all day, and they can handle special diets if someone needs that, and family can join for birthday or holiday celebrations. Every resident gets a custom care plan, and there's a traveling barber or stylist who visits along with folks who help with medications, and there's regular housekeeping and laundry services too. For activities, the place has a library, a fitness room, walking paths outside, regular movie nights, music and pet therapy, creative and social activities, and planned outings or group events, and a game room for folks who like cards or checkers or puzzles.
There's a relaxing spa, a beauty shop, a bistro, and a chapel, so there are spots to spend quiet time or visit with others. The staff make sure there's 24-hour supervision, and there's a call system in every room if someone needs help. Both independent and continuing care services are offered, and respite care is available for short stays or when caregivers need a break, and hospice care is supported for folks who need it near the end of life.
Transportation can be arranged for doctor visits, shopping, and church or spiritual gatherings. The community offers Medicaid certified options along with private pay, and they've got security and fall management all around, plus on-site nursing coverage for most of the day. You'll find that Almost Like Home isn't fancy but makes a steady effort to keep things simple and comfortable for residents who want dependable support and a chance to join in if they want a little company.
