Summit Supportive Communities - Highlands Ranch

Eight residents share the Pemberly Avenue house, and that small number shapes nearly every part of daily life there. Staff turnover stays low, so the caregiver buttoning a cardigan on a Monday morning is often the same one who did it a year before, and that steadiness anchors how care actually happens. Names, preferences, and small routines stay familiar rather than being re-explained on a rotating basis.

One license covers all on-site personal assistance, including help with bathing, getting dressed, grooming tasks, and staying on schedule with medication, plus steady support for anyone unsteady on their feet. With only a handful of people in residence, staff can take extra time with someone who needs it without disrupting the rest of the morning routine. Long-tenured staff notice subtle changes, such as a stiffer walk or an unfinished plate, well before those signs turn into larger concerns, because they already understand each person's normal.

Every meal is served at one shared table instead of multiple dining rooms, so conversation naturally includes whoever is present rather than breaking into separate groups. Families expecting a large campus with an extensive staff roster and packed activity calendar should understand instead that this is one modest home where every resident is recognized by name. That intimacy is often weighed against the wider amenity lists offered by larger providers.

Assisted living fees begin around $5,500 per month, reflecting the closer attention possible with a small staff-to-resident ratio. This household does not participate in Medicaid billing, so residents typically pay privately using savings, long-term-care insurance, or help from family. Pets belonging to a resident are not permitted to live in the house, a tradeoff to consider against the quieter, closely staffed environment it provides.

Pemberly Avenue sits amid single-family homes in Highlands Ranch, Douglas County, south of the Denver metro, blending into its residential surroundings rather than sitting along a commercial strip. UCHealth Highlands Ranch Hospital is nearby for residents needing routine appointments or urgent attention. As a standalone house rather than one property in a larger corporate network, day-to-day decisions about a resident's care typically come directly from onsite staff instead of passing up a management chain.

Families who value that kind of direct communication, combined with a care team that tends to stay long term, often find it outweighs the smaller scale and lighter activity schedule.
