A Wildflower Assisted Living

Wildflower on Ammons is a small residential care home at 1355 Ammons Street in Lakewood, Colorado, that specializes in support for adults living with brain injuries. It is one of several homes run by A Wildflower Assisted Living and Care Home, which has served people living with brain injuries since 2006, and the focus on that population sets it apart from traditional senior assisted living. The care model is built around rehabilitation-minded, person-centered support rather than custodial care alone.

Medication is administered by QMAP-certified staff, and the team includes independent living skills trainers and case managers who help residents rebuild and maintain daily-living skills. Staffing is kept at a high ratio so residents get the steady, individualized attention that brain-injury recovery and daily life require. Because it is a small home, the setting feels residential and familiar, with a handful of residents who get to know one another and the staff.

The home emphasizes community integration, helping residents stay connected to life outside the house through structured support and engagement built around each person's goals. Daily life is organized around individualized routines and skill-building, with everyday support for the parts of the day that are harder after a brain injury, in a calm home environment. The small scale keeps care personal and consistent, which matters for residents who do best with predictable routines and familiar faces.

Funding for brain-injury supportive living often works differently from standard senior care. Wildflower accepts the Colorado Brain Injury Supportive Living waiver and Medicaid waivers, which is central to how many residents and families pay for care. A senior advisor can walk a family through eligibility, how the waivers apply, and whether the home fits a particular situation. The Lakewood location keeps care and the outdoors close.

Crown Hill Park and its lake sit nearby for walks and time outside, Intermountain Health Lutheran Hospital in Wheat Ridge is roughly eight to ten minutes away, and St. Anthony Hospital, a Level I trauma center, is about ten minutes off. The home is on the west side of Lakewood near the Wadsworth corridor, with easy access across the metro. With a long focus on brain-injury support, a rehabilitation-minded team of skills trainers and case managers, a high staffing ratio, and acceptance of the brain-injury and Medicaid waivers, Wildflower on Ammons offers families a specialized residential option that general senior communities are not built to provide.
