Cardan Manor Assisted Living

Cardan Manor Assisted Living sits in the Mission Viejo neighborhood in Aurora, Colorado, and you'll find its ranch-style home has a small, homelike setting that helps people feel comfortable, with a high staff-to-resident ratio so everyone gets some attention. Most rooms are private and some units offer a kitchenette, but there are also shared living options if that's what's wanted, and rooms come furnished with telephones and amenities like cable TV and wifi, plus there are common areas for people to gather. There are inside amenities to help residents relax, like movie nights and community-sponsored activities, and outside you'll see walking paths and a garden for leisure. Residents get help with daily needs, like bathing, dressing, and transfers, along with medication management, transportation, and three scheduled meals a day, with options for allergies and dietary restrictions, and they can have guest meals if family drops by. There are cleaning services, which include laundry and even dry cleaning, and staff also help with move-in and coordinates healthcare with providers using a management dashboard for personal health records and care coordination. Wheelchair accessibility is there, plus assistive devices, an emergency alert system, and supervision around the clock. The place doesn't allow pets, but it does keep up a secure, quiet environment and supports seniors who want some independence but still need assistance. Programs here are connected to state and federal resources, with links to an Affordable Care Act center, HRSA-supported health programs, and resource programs for opioid use, suicide prevention, disaster mental health, elder abuse, and fall prevention. Family communication happens by text and pictures, so folks can stay updated. There's parking for residents and visitors, and the place is close to parks, shopping, a library, a recreation center, trails, and a golf course, so it's easy if someone wants to get out now and then. Emergency services are available, and there's a health library with information on medications and health needs. The facility holds a Colorado State License and is designed with safety and comfort in mind, and while the place offers specialized care and tries to tailor life for each resident, it does this in a small, less-crowded environment where people can feel at home instead of feeling lost in a big place.
