Johnson Assisted Living Home, known as Johnson Home ACF, sits at 403 W 13th St in Pueblo, Colorado, and has room for 21 residents in its assisted living community, offering both private and shared rooms, studio units, and one-bedroom apartments, with space set up for folks who want a smaller, more personal setting, and when you walk around you'll spot furnished rooms with telephones, housekeeping and linen services, meal service in a big dining room, cable TV, wifi, kitchenettes, walking trails, outdoor gardens, a small library for quiet reading, and community spaces for gathering. The place runs all kinds of daily activities like movie nights, music, art, fitness, devotional events, and offsite trips, so people keep busy, and staff see to things like scheduled games, arts and crafts, outings, and meals prepared to accommodate allergies, diabetes, and high blood pressure, with one or two meals served every day, always looking for nutrition and taste. Seniors can tap into transportation for doctor visits, running errands, or going to a religious service, plus the place has game rooms, a bistro, a fitness area, a chapel, steam room or health area, jacuzzi, a hairdresser and beauty shop, and plenty of garden and yard space where you can walk, sit, or just listen to the birds.
There's a secured, 24-hour emergency alert system, and caregiving staff stay on-site around the clock, ready to give help with daily tasks-bathing, moving from bed to chair, getting dressed, hygiene, and care for incontinence or non-ambulatory folks, and if anyone needs more, like help with insulin monitoring, Parkinson's support, two-person transfers, or memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia, staff handle that too, so long as you ask about what exactly they can provide, and there's always some help with medication management, health checks, and if it's needed, support for home health and physical therapy. Johnson Home sets up care plans for every resident, aiming to balance how much support someone wants with how much they can do on their own, and for those times when family caregivers need a break, the facility offers short-term respite stays as well.
You'll find laundry on-site, housekeeping, community amenities like a communal kitchen, court yard, and lots of spaces to socialize, and the community sometimes sponsors resident-run events, reading times, pet therapy, and even music therapy if folks are interested. It's pet-friendly, and there's extra touches like a barber, salon, and massage therapy, and the place has a reputation in town as a medium-sized community that tries to cover medical and personal needs, with English-speaking staff and different care packages depending on what residents require.
Unfortunately, Johnson Assisted Living Home had some serious trouble recently, since the Pueblo Health Department shut it down for unsafe conditions, after reports of unsafe buildings, faulty smoke detectors, residents being evicted for safety, drug activity like syringes found in bathrooms, gangs, in laundry rooms, and the place being almost unlivable for a while, so no one lives there right now, but there are plans to renovate and reopen in the future with hopes things will be better. In the past, the community served disabled adults along with seniors, provided specialized care for people with Alzheimer's, and helped with a range of medical and daily living needs. The home connects with nearby hospitals and physicians for extra medical services, and it's located inside a neighborhood with lots of local community and health amenities nearby.
