Master's Touch Homes

On South Marion Street in Centennial's Homestead neighborhood, Master's Touch Homes keeps the look and feel of an ordinary house rather than a built-for-purpose facility. Eleven residents fill the home at capacity, and they share one living room, one dining table, and a backyard that everyone uses across the day. Because bedrooms, bathrooms, and common rooms all sit under the same roof, nobody has far to walk to reach any part of daily life.

Caregivers handle the basics that get harder to manage without support: bathing, getting dressed, staying on schedule with medications, plus help with mobility around the house. Support can expand if a resident needs more hands-on help down the road, though the ceiling here stops at assisted living; anyone who eventually needs skilled nursing or wants an independent-living setup would have to look at a different kind of community.

The kitchen turns out meals for the whole house, and because only eleven people sit down to eat, staff can stay on top of who likes what and who needs a modified plate. The day tends to move at the household's own pace, with conversation over coffee, a light activity here and there, and one-on-one time worked into whatever room residents happen to be in, plus stretches of quiet built in for anyone who'd rather rest than join in.

Pricing starts near $5,500 a month for assisted living, and the home is entirely private pay, so Medicaid isn't accepted here. It also doesn't take pets, and it isn't set up for respite or short-term stays, which makes this more of a long-term move than a trial visit. Centennial's Homestead area puts the home near the University Boulevard corridor, with The Streets at SouthGlenn a quick trip away for shopping and errands and Park Meadows in Lone Tree available for a bigger outing.

Sky Ridge Hospital, also in Lone Tree, is close enough to reach easily for appointments or an emergency, and the surrounding Arapahoe County blocks keep a calm, residential feel. Getting here from other parts of the metro is straightforward, with clear routes linking the neighborhood to nearby stores and medical care. Master's Touch Homes is privately owned and answers to no larger regional or national operator, which shows up in how personal the day-to-day care feels.

Families sizing it up should weigh that closeness against the private-pay cost and the absence of memory care, pet accommodation, and respite stays.
