 A residential assisted living home provides a higher level of care than a typical assisted living community, but a lower level than a skill nursing facility. Generally an individual is a fit for residential assisted living when they need consistent 1 to 1 assistance with an activity of daily living (ADL), or a cognitive impairment like dementia requires regular 24 hour supervision for their safety. The biggest difference is that there’s more personalized care and regular direct staff relations because each home has few residents. Each home is independently owned and operated and has a unique style and culture of its own. It’s important to find out from each home just what services they will and won’t provide.

 Typically not provided:
Certain types of medical-level care, like wandering, feeding or treatment of open bedsores. The level of amenities and recreational activities you may find in an independent or assisted living community

What expenses are not covered with monthly fee:
Personal preferred hygiene and foods not shared by all residents
Incontinence Supplies
Medications
Personal transportation

 Ideal for older adults who dislike the larger, institutional-type living situation found in most independent and assisted living communities. In a residential assisted living home, your older adult can live as normal a life as they’re able. They can go shopping, have friends and family visit whenever they want, go for walks, dine out, etc. It’s a great option for those who can’t live independently, but hate the idea of being in a large institutional setting. It’s like assisted living, just better.

 In Northern Colorado (Windsor and Fort Collins) for example, a residential assisted living home typically costs between $4,000 and $6,900 a month for a private bedroom depending on level of care required. Discounts are often available for shared rooms. Payments accepted are usually private pay, money from VA Aid & Attendance, and long-term care insurance. Medicaid is usually accepted based on shared room availability in conjunction with the InnovAge PACE program. Not like most assisted living memory care facilities we can sometimes partner with other insurances. 

For people with Alzheimer’s or dementia, living in a smaller home with fewer people can reduce anxiety and stress. In most larger assisted living memory care facilities staff will have more patients to look after. The intimate environment makes it easier for caregivers to get to know individuals and their specific needs. And the individual with dementia can find a comfortable, safe and familiar lifestyle that they expect. We have homes in Fort Collins, Windsor and beyond.
