About Dayspring Villa
Dayspring Villa is a nonprofit assisted living community at 3777 West 26th Avenue in the Highland neighborhood of northwest Denver, operated by the faith-based Christian Living Communities. It is home to about 70 residents in all-private studio apartments, and it stands out as a Medicaid-certified, affordable assisted living, a combination that is uncommon for buildings with private rooms. Day-to-day care covers medication management and help with bathing, dressing, and daily routines for residents who need assisted living.
There is no memory care or independent living here; the focus is a single, well-run level of assisted living. Each private studio has its own bathroom, a kitchenette, climate control, and a call cord and pendant, and the community follows Eden Alternative principles aimed at easing loneliness and keeping residents engaged. Daily life is shaped by the Rhythms Life Enrichment program, built on social, intellectual, physical, purposeful, and spiritual pillars, with art and exercise classes, games, outings, barbecues, and holiday gatherings.
The community serves three chef-prepared meals a day restaurant-style, and amenities include an indoor therapeutic pool, a beauty and barber salon, a country store, a movie room, a library, a chapel, and garden spaces. Dayspring Villa fits families who need affordable, Medicaid-eligible assisted living in an established nonprofit community, with the dignity of a private apartment. It also accepts VA Aid and Attendance benefits and private pay.
Medicaid spots are limited and often go first to residents who have spent down, so availability is worth checking early. Pets are welcome to visit but do not live in the apartments. The Highland and Sloan's Lake setting is walkable and well-connected, about a mile and a half from St. Anthony Hospital, with Saint Joseph Hospital and Denver Health a short drive east. The Tennyson Street and Highlands Square dining districts and Sloan's Lake Park are nearby, and Interstate 25 and Federal Boulevard make getting around easy.
Operated by the nonprofit Christian Living Communities, Dayspring Villa pairs Medicaid-certified, affordable assisted living and all-private studios with an indoor therapeutic pool and a person-directed Rhythms program in a walkable northwest Denver neighborhood.
