The Rising Sun Senior Home at Belmar

Rising Sun Senior Home at Belmar is a small assisted living home in the Belmar area of Lakewood, Colorado, custom-designed by its owner and administrator to care for up to 12 residents. Built specifically as a residential care home rather than converted from an ordinary house, it offers a purpose-made, homelike setting in an easy-to-find Belmar neighborhood, part of The Rising Sun Senior Home family of small Lakewood homes.

The small scale is the point: with no more than a dozen residents, caregivers come to know each person's routines and preferences, and assisted living here covers the everyday essentials, from medication management to help with bathing, dressing, and getting around, with staff on hand around the clock. The home supports residents who need steady daily help in a calm, familiar environment. Because the owner designed the building for care, the layout works for residents and visiting families alike.

A welcoming entry has off-street parking that can accommodate transportation vans and accessible spaces, rooms come as private and semi-private, and the backyard is fenced so residents can spend time outside safely. Daily life centers on home-style meals served together, light activities and adult day programming, and the steady rhythm of a small household, with housekeeping, laundry, and scheduled transportation handled by staff.

The feel is closer to living in a well-run home than checking into a facility. A senior advisor can walk a family through current pricing, how care is adjusted as needs change, and whether Medicaid can be part of the plan, since funding for small homes varies by situation. The Belmar location keeps families close to care and daily life. St. Anthony Hospital, a Level I trauma center, is about two miles away, roughly a five-minute drive, and the walkable Belmar district sits minutes from the home with shops, restaurants, a cinema, and the Lakewood Cultural Center.

Addenbrooke Park is close for time outdoors, and Wadsworth Boulevard and West Alameda Avenue make the home easy to reach from across the metro. With a purpose-built design, a twelve-resident scale, private and semi-private rooms, and a central Belmar location near St. Anthony Hospital, Rising Sun Senior Home at Belmar gives Lakewood families an intimate, homelike assisted-living option.
