About Care Haven Assisted Living
Care Haven is a small, family-owned assisted living home at 632 Deframe Court in the Applewood neighborhood of Golden, Colorado. Licensed for eight residents, it offers around-the-clock assisted living in a quiet residential setting where the owners and staff are present day to day and residents are cared for like family. With just eight residents, Care Haven keeps care personal and hands-on. The team helps with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and medication management, and the small scale means caregivers come to know each resident's routines and preferences.
Home-cooked meals are prepared and served daily with dietary needs accommodated, and a secure backyard and garden give residents a comfortable place to spend time outdoors. Daily life is built around the rhythms of a real home rather than an institution, with a family room, communal dining, activities such as arts and crafts and gentle exercise, and occasional outings to nearby spots. The quiet Applewood location, between Golden and Lakewood, keeps a calm, residential feel close to everyday conveniences.
The home sits near the Interstate 70 and U.S. 6 interchange, with Colorado Mills and Applewood-area shopping a short drive and downtown Golden minutes away. St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood, a Level I trauma center, is the nearest major hospital, with Intermountain Health Lutheran Hospital another nearby option. For a family looking for a very small, family-owned assisted living home in the Golden area, Care Haven offers eight-resident care in a quiet residential house.
The home accepts Medicaid for eligible residents, and a senior advisor can confirm current openings, pricing, and the home's pet policy.
