Healing Hands Health & Wellness Assisted Living

Twelve residents live at Healing Hands Health and Wellness Assisted Living, and the caregiving team built around that number handles bathing, dressing, and medication reminders as part of daily routines. Grooming and getting around safely round out the day-to-day support, adjusted resident by resident rather than locked into a printed schedule. Because the household stays this small, caregivers can shift the level of help a resident receives without waiting for a formal quarterly review.

That setup draws families who want a tight caregiver-to-resident ratio and staff who know each person well. Payment here runs through private funds only; Medicaid isn't part of how the home is billed. Pets aren't able to stay with residents, so families bringing an animal into the picture will need a separate plan before moving in. The community also doesn't provide independent living or a dedicated memory care program, worth factoring in against what a family actually needs.

With 12 residents at capacity, the staff gets to know each person's habits closely. Meals come from an on-site kitchen, and residents gather around a shared table for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Outside of mealtimes, the living room hosts card games, conversation, and television, nothing scheduled, just whatever residents feel like doing that day. Visits from family happen often and informally, and that access continues even as a resident requires more hands-on care.

The building itself is a single house, giving it a lived-in feel instead of a hotel-style layout. Twelve residents keeps the population well below the 60-plus beds found at many larger communities, and caregivers don't have long hallways to cover between residents. Highline Villages, the immediate neighborhood, is a quieter residential stretch of Aurora away from the busier main roads. Southlands shopping district is close by for errands or a change of pace, and Stanley Marketplace offers a nearby spot for visiting family to grab a bite.

The Town Center at Aurora is a few minutes further, good for a longer outing when time allows. For anything beyond daily care, the Anschutz Medical Campus, home to the University of Colorado's Hospital, run by UCHealth, is near enough for specialist visits or urgent situations. Healing Hands Health and Wellness Assisted Living runs as its own independent house, with no chain or corporate office behind it, so decisions stay with the people actually providing care.

Assisted living rates start around $5,500 a month, in line with the smaller staffing model this size of home allows. Families comparing options nearby can treat these numbers as a starting point and set up a visit to see whether the day-to-day rhythm suits their loved one.
