Rocky Mountain Assisted Living - Reed Street

Rocky Mountain Assisted Living on Reed is one of the operator's newest small homes, at 995 Reed Street in east Lakewood, Colorado, near the Lakewood Country Club. It is a single house with room for twelve residents, and unlike the company's memory-care homes, Reed Street is standard assisted living, a good fit for an older adult who needs daily help but not a secured dementia setting. What sets Reed apart even among small homes is that all twelve rooms are private, each with its own full bathroom, so every resident keeps their own space and privacy.

The house is built around living rooms, a dining room, and a kitchen with generous counter space, with an on-site salon and an outdoor patio and backyard. Assisted living here covers the everyday essentials, from medication management to help with bathing, dressing, and getting around, delivered by a team that knows each resident well because the home is small. Daily life runs on home-cooked meals three times a day with snacks, plus daily activities and scheduled outings, and the layout is open and easy to move through, with wide hallways and accessible design.

Medication is handled by QMAP-certified staff with awake coverage around the clock, and a visiting physician makes regular rounds, with physical therapy and hospice coordination available as a resident's needs change. Rocky Mountain Assisted Living runs about eleven of these homes across the Denver metro, five in Lakewood, and the company accepts the Colorado Medicaid waiver, which is unusual for a residential home this size and a real help for families planning long-term costs.

Pricing is month-to-month at a flat rate, and a senior advisor can walk a family through what is included and whether a Medicaid bed is open. The Reed Street location sits in an established east Lakewood neighborhood near the Lakewood Country Club, close to Sloan's Lake and Edgewater and minutes from downtown Denver. St. Anthony Hospital, a Level I trauma center, and Intermountain Health Lutheran Hospital in Wheat Ridge are both a short drive away.

With twelve all-private rooms, an on-site salon, 24-hour awake staff, and Medicaid-waiver acceptance, Rocky Mountain Assisted Living on Reed gives east-Lakewood families an intimate, affordable assisted-living option where every resident has a room of their own.
