Residential care homes in Lakewood may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Lakewood care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.
Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Lakewood, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.
We are also serving Residential Care Home facilities in surrounding neighborhoods like Denver, Arvada and Pleasant View.

Residential Care Home
We moved our father in here back in 2008 and he was here for 6 years. They took great care of him and the staff including management were very accommodating. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a caring clean home.
The people are varied in ages and levels of needs and care, so I think it makes it a little tough for activities. I think they do as best as they can trying to keep everyon active. I think the staff is terrific. The food seems to be homestyle cooking and nutritious. I think you get a little more personal care than with some of the bigger places. I feel like they have tried to work with us. They have a P.A. that stops by, and they take good care of them.
I have been very pleased with the help and care from Auburn View. He is always well cared and treated like he is part of the family. Treated very well and respected.

Residential care homes are houses in residential neighborhoods that are equipped, adapted, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually between two and 10. Like assisted living communities, staff at care homes typically help residents with activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, and medication management. Although residential care homes vary significantly depending on the community, services usually include:
Lakewood, west of Denver, offers residents all the resources and attractions of a modern, metropolitan city while being surrounded by a picturesque natural setting. Residents of Lakewood have easy access to shopping centers, healthcare facilities, and dining options to meet their daily needs, and can live an active lifestyle or celebrate an appreciation for nature in numerous nearby parks, like William Frederick Hayden Park or North Table Mountain Park.
In Lakewood, residential care homes — sometimes called care homes, board and care homes, group homes, or personal care homes — are often houses in residential neighborhoods that are adapted, equipped, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually 10 or less. Similar to assisted living but in a smaller, more residential setting, these homes provide supervision, organized events, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This means care homes can help with everyday routines but typically do not provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.
The median monthly cost of a room in a care home in 2019 was about $4,500 in Lakewood, $4,200 in the metropolitan area, and $4,500 in the state of Colorado. However, the cost of living in a care home depends largely on location. Since the homes are private residences, costs are tied to real estate value and therefore may vary greatly.
The total household expenses associated with living in Lakewood are rated 12 points below the national average. Grocery and other essential costs are also rated below average.
