The Peaks Assisted Living Center

Downtown Longmont's Coffman Street is home to The Peaks Assisted Living Center, a continuing care community built around one Medicaid-accepted license that covers independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing rehabilitation together. Its local reputation comes from the rehabilitation side of the building: people recovering from strokes and other major medical events come here specifically for the intensity of the physical, occupational, and speech therapy on offer.

Each level runs differently: independent living residents largely manage their own days, assisted living residents receive support with medications, dressing, and getting around as those needs come up, and skilled nursing houses a dedicated rehabilitation unit where therapists set individual recovery goals and track progress against them. The three therapy disciplines work as one team, revising a resident's plan week over week as strength, balance, and speech improve.

One license covers all 10 beds on the campus, a scale that keeps the rehabilitation floor tightly staffed rather than diluted across a much bigger building. Dining, activities, and social programming extend across all three levels, but the rehabilitation floor runs on a therapy-first rhythm of morning and afternoon sessions rather than a conventional activities calendar. Staff are known for learning residents by name quickly and pacing a recovery program to the individual, which counts for a lot with someone who has arrived with limited mobility or speech straight from a hospital stay.

The setting suits a family managing the transition from hospital to home after a stroke, surgery, or comparable medical event, where near-term intensive rehabilitation outweighs long-term residential amenities as the priority. It also suits households looking for a single Medicaid-accepted campus that can carry a parent from independent living into assisted living and eventually skilled nursing without a series of moves to different buildings.

Coffman Street runs through downtown Longmont, within reach of Main Street's shops and restaurants and a short walk from Roosevelt Park, making visits easy for family during a rehabilitation stay. UCHealth Longs Peak Hospital is nearby too, and that proximity keeps the rehabilitation team in close working contact with the area's principal hospital as residents move between hospital-based and community-based care.

Because the campus is Medicaid-accepted, its skilled nursing and rehabilitation services reach beyond a private-pay-only population. Independent living starts near 4,200 dollars monthly, assisted living near 5,500, and skilled nursing and rehabilitation near 10,500, figures that track the different staffing and care intensity required at each level.
