Makarios Assisted Living at Yampa sits in a quiet Aurora neighborhood and has been family owned since 1992, so you'll find things pretty settled here, with steady care and a home-style environment. The place offers assisted living, board and care, respite stays, adult day services, and even memory care, which means there's a spot here for different kinds of needs, and the range of prices goes from $4,846 up to $5,815 a month depending on room and care level, whether it's a private suite or a shared one. Residents get support with daily activities like dressing, bathing, eating, transfers, toileting, and medication, and there's both a certified nursing assistant on site around the clock and a registered nurse on call 24/7, plus visiting doctors who keep an eye on health and regular nurse assessments to catch things early.
Rooms come furnished, with both private and semi-private choices, and each has features like emergency alert systems and telephone access, and the whole building has fire sprinklers, security alarms, and wheelchair accessible design, including non-ambulatory care and a Hoyer lift for total transfers if someone needs that kind of help. Meals come from the kitchen every day and are homecooked with attention to any special diets like diabetes or allergies, and there are snacks between meals and all-day dining for those who eat on their own schedule.
Residents get laundry, dry cleaning, housekeeping, linen service, and move-in help, so things stay pretty tidy and easy. There's a dining room, a media and activities room, hair and nail care from visiting specialists, and outdoor spaces like walking paths and a garden area to sit outside or take a stroll. For socializing and keeping busy, there are group games, movie nights, exercise classes, holiday celebrations, and weekly activities that help folks connect no matter their interests or abilities, and staff organize community-sponsored events to break up the routine.
Besides long-term living, Makarios at Yampa offers respite stays to give family caregivers a break and has hospice care and home health care if things get more serious, including skilled nursing and non-medical home services arranged for those who need extra support. Scheduled transportation, parking spots, beauty services, and in-room emergency alerts round out the list. The focus stays on helping folks remain as independent as they can, helping with what's needed but not overdoing it, keeping a balance between safety, comfort, and the chance to live as each person wants.
