Hover Community Inc sits at 1380 Charles Dr in Longmont, Colorado, and people here find options for independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, and short-term rehab, and the place offers a homelike setting with choices for private or shared rooms, big or small suites, and private bathrooms, and everything's fully furnished, so residents don't have to bring much unless they want to, and over at the Katherine and Charles Hover Green Houses, the skilled nursing staff handle higher levels of care in a setting that feels more like a house than a hospital, and the Beatrice Hover Assisted Living lets people get help while keeping some independence and finding ways to stay social, and the Hover Manor is another option for folks who want to live independently but still want a sense of community.
Staff like Brian Buscietta, who handles plant operations across the campus, and Sandra Vela, who manages residences and services for Hover at Home, along with folks like Catherine Gates, who helps with welcoming newcomers, work as part of a small, focused team, and they put effort into making sure every resident gets care based on their needs, whether that's medication help, assistance with dressing or bathing, or just a hand with cleaning or housekeeping, and the 24-hour staff makes it so there's always someone nearby, so residents can feel more at ease, and they also use an emergency call system for safety at any time.
Meals stand out with a chef who prepares food from scratch, using organic ingredients where possible, and families, residents, and even doctors help plan menus, so what's served has both flavor and nutrition, and special diets get attention, seasonal menus change things up, and desserts and fresh breads come right from the kitchen, with family-style dining that keeps meals relaxed, and there's a real effort to respect preferences and mealtime routines.
There's a variety of things to do each day, so it's easy to go to a music program, try arts and crafts, garden in the community plots, join a fitness class, stroll on walking paths, or take part in spiritual services at the All Faiths Chapel, where there are three Sunday services and two weekly communion times, and trips often go to local spots or to Walgreens or Ziggi's Coffee nearby, and a club called Hover Connections Club runs programs, classes, and twice-weekly community lunches to keep folks social and active, and there's also Hover at Home, which brings non-medical care to seniors wherever they live, helping them stay independent.
Services include housekeeping, laundry, cable TV, internet, phone, air conditioning, transportation for errands or appointments, parking, and move-in help, and there's a salon on site, business and fitness spaces, a movie theater, and spaces for group activities like dancing or movie nights, and the gardens and outdoor areas offer places for family barbecues and concerts in the park, and there's a focus on keeping life affordable, tailored, and as maintenance-free as possible, with the idea that everyone should feel at home, find dignity, and get support without pressure or fuss, all while having options for changing levels of care without having to leave the community.
