Wildflower Assisted Living

Wildflower Assisted Living is a residential home in north Arvada for adults living with the effects of a brain injury, licensed for 8 residents at 6197 W 83rd Way. Support staff are present in the house 24 hours a day. The support residents receive takes place both inside the home and out in the surrounding community. Case managers and living skills trainers work alongside the support staff based in the house on West 83rd Way.

Medication is given and supported by staff trained as Qualified Medication Administration Persons, and the house team also helps residents with the activities of daily living. Each resident directs their own care plan, and case management also takes in support with community appointments and advocacy on that resident's behalf. The team coordinates its work with physical, occupational and speech therapists, and with physicians as well.

Daily support follows a person-centered schedule, and staff help each resident with planning how that day will go. One-on-one sessions, which pair a resident with a member of staff, are among the services offered, as is a community engagement program centered on time out in the wider community. Residents are given rides to those community outings, and the same ride service covers the appointments that case management supports.

Meals at the house are home-cooked, and meal planning is offered to residents as a service in its own right. Staff also support residents with keeping their rooms in order, getting laundry done and handling the general upkeep of the household. Payment can come from private funds, workers' compensation or Medicaid waivers, and the Brain Injury Supportive Living Program is among the waivers accepted at the home.

The house sits on West 83rd Way in a residential part of north Arvada around Lake Arbor, close to the Westminster line and between Sheridan and Wadsworth boulevards. Two neighborhood parks lie within half a mile of the front door, with Far Horizon Park at about a third of a mile and Lake Arbor Park a little farther along.

Farther out, Standley Lake Library sits along the Farmers and Croke Canals Trail a little under two and a half miles from the house, with Standley Lake itself about three and a half miles away. For emergencies, the CommonSpirit 84th Avenue Emergency Room, a freestanding emergency department at 2551 W 84th Ave in Westminster, is open around the clock about two and a half miles east of the house. For hospital care, HCA HealthONE Mountain Ridge, a 136-bed hospital at 9191 Grant Street in Thornton, lies about 4.4 miles east, and UCHealth Broomfield Hospital at 11820 Destination Drive in Broomfield sits a similar distance to the north.

Two grocery stores are close by, with King Soopers at 8055 Sheridan Boulevard about seven-tenths of a mile away and Safeway at 7561 West 80th Avenue just under a mile from the house.
