Meadow Hills Makarios Assisted Living

Meadow Hills Makarios Assisted Living is a small residential assisted living home at 14691 East Lehigh Avenue, in the Meadow Hills neighborhood on the west side of Aurora, Colorado. It is one of three Aurora homes run by Makarios Assisted Living, a family-owned operator founded in 1992, and it focuses on a single thing: helping older adults live well with daily support in a real house rather than a large building.

Care here covers the everyday essentials of assisted living, from medication management and help with bathing, dressing, and getting around, to round-the-clock staffing and an emergency call system. A podiatrist visits on site, wound care is available for residents who need it, and the bilingual staff make the home a comfortable fit for Spanish-speaking families. Because the home is small, caregivers come to know each resident by name and adjust to their routines.

Residents live in private rooms with private bathrooms, and they are welcome to bring furniture and decorate the space so it feels like their own. Day-to-day life stays calm and personal, with a set daily menu plus snacks, diet modifications for residents who need them, and shared living and dining areas where neighbors gather. A communal garden and outdoor seating give residents a place to spend time when the Colorado weather cooperates.

Activities and social programs, housekeeping, laundry, and scheduled transportation are all handled by staff, and on-site religious services are offered for residents who want them. The pace suits older adults who do better in a household than in a busy campus, where the dining room seats dozens and the hallways feel like a hotel. This is a private-pay home, and pets are not accommodated. A senior advisor can walk through current pricing, what the monthly rate includes, and how long-term care insurance or veterans benefits might apply for a particular resident.

The Meadow Hills setting keeps care and daily errands close. The Medical Center of Aurora, an HCA HealthONE hospital, sits about 3 miles north, and the home is minutes from the shops and restaurants along East Hampden Avenue. Cherry Creek State Park lies just across the highway, with Interstate 225 to the west for quick trips into Denver and the Denver Tech Center. For Aurora families who want hands-on assisted living in a quiet, house-style setting near Cherry Creek, this Makarios home is a practical option worth a closer look.
