Covenant Living of Colorado

Spend an afternoon at Covenant Living of Colorado and the layout tells its own story. Independent living residents keep their own schedule on one wing of the Wadsworth Parkway campus in Westminster, while assisted living neighbors follow a steadier, staff-guided routine just down the hall, all under one 60-bed roof in Jefferson County. Because both levels share the same address, a resident can move from an independent apartment into closer support if health changes, without ever packing up and relocating to a different building.

On the assisted living side, caregivers open the morning with hands-on help getting dressed and washed, keep track of when medications are due, and step in whenever someone needs steadier footing getting around. Independent living residents, meanwhile, choose for themselves whether to join a group meal or an afternoon outing, or skip it and stay in that day. That gap in daily structure still leaves room for a spouse in independent living to walk over and check on a partner who needs more hands-on support, keeping a couple connected even as their care paths diverge.

Meals follow a set schedule in one shared dining room, and staff build the calendar around outings and small-group activities designed to break up long stretches of unstructured time. The community's own crew handles housekeeping and building maintenance, so a family already managing a stressful move isn't also fielding repair calls or chasing down chores. Covenant Living of Colorado is a private-pay community only, without Medicaid certification covering any portion of the monthly bill.

For assisted living, the entry-level monthly rate hovers near $5,500, and households should budget for that full amount without expecting a Medicaid reduction. Keeping a companion animal on the premises isn't something this address currently allows, and respite or short-term stays aren't part of the program either. Set in Westminster, this campus sits a short drive from North Suburban, a hospital located in nearby Thornton, for anything requiring hospital-level care, while the retail and restaurants along Wadsworth Parkway give visiting family somewhere convenient to stop.

Because this is a continuing care campus, support can be layered on gradually as circumstances shift, sparing a household from having to restart the search for a new address every time more help is needed. A single operator runs both the assisted and independent sides, so the same staff stay involved through a transition, softening what can otherwise feel like a jarring change for a parent and the people around them.

This campus houses far fewer residents than a high-rise-style senior building would, a difference visitors notice against other Westminster-area options.
