About Andira
A converted single-family house on a residential street in Centennial's Cherry Knolls neighborhood, Andira looks like any other home on the block — porch out front, kitchen at the center of daily life. Eight residents live here when the home is full, a headcount that keeps things quieter and more personal than what you'd find in a larger community, and that intimacy carries through every part of the day.
Assisted living is the care Andira provides — help with medications, bathing, dressing, and the everyday tasks that become harder with age, folded into each resident's own routine. With so few residents, staff can step up support quietly as circumstances change, without asking anyone to pack up and move to a different building. Rates run private pay, starting near $5,500 a month, a figure that reflects the attentive staffing a household this size can sustain along with the individual care each resident receives.
The living and dining rooms stay in near-constant use, and because there are only eight people to know, caregivers pick up quickly on who likes an early breakfast, who needs a nap after lunch, who prefers quiet over conversation. Visiting relatives usually end up at the same table or couch the residents use every day, so the mood stays informal and easy, with staff, residents, and guests talking freely.
Andira has no memory-care unit and no nursing floor, so it works best for residents whose needs stay within what assisted living covers. The home does not participate in Medicaid, so the monthly cost comes entirely out of pocket for as long as someone lives there. It also doesn't take pets or offer short-term stays, two points families should settle early when weighing their options. Cherry Knolls surrounds Andira with quiet residential blocks, and deKoevend Park is close enough for a stroll before or after a visit.
Cherry Creek State Park isn't far either, and the shops along Arapahoe Road cover most errands for a family passing through. Sky Ridge's medical campus in Lone Tree is a short drive away, worth factoring in for anyone thinking through medical access. No chain or corporate parent stands behind Andira — it runs on its own, the way many small assisted living homes in Colorado do. For a family hoping a relative becomes one of a handful of familiar faces rather than one of many, this Centennial household is worth a closer look.
Environment
Set inside a house on a residential street in Centennial's Cherry Knolls neighborhood, Andira looks like any other home nearby, right down to the porch out front and the kitchen where people gather. Only 8 residents share the space, so the pace of each day stays calm, familiar, and far less busy than a larger building would feel.
Services
Assisted living is what Andira provides — daily help with medications, bathing, and dressing built around each resident's own routine. Because staff look after only 8 people, care can be adjusted quickly whenever someone needs a bit more support, without the delay of a formal reassessment process.
Resident Experience
With only 8 residents at full occupancy, caregivers get to know each person's habits fast — how they take their coffee, when they like to nap, what kind of company they enjoy. Visiting family tends to gather at the same kitchen table and living room the residents use daily, so nothing feels staged for company.
