How do I decide which home is the best fit for my family member?
We are sensitive to individual needs for privacy as well as socialization. We look closely at each incoming resident's personality, preferences, communication skills, cognitive level and mobility and we endeavor to match the person to a home that is most appropriate. Additionally, we have eight (8) locations and approximately sixty two (62) residents. This enables us to bring residents with common interests together from different homes.
What do we do when the care needs of my family member increase?
We are comfortable with a variety of health related problems and disabilities due to the training and leadership of Michael W. Zislis, a licensed physical therapist. In certain circumstances, we partner with Hospice services to support our residents through the end of life in our residence.
How do you satisfy various dietary preferences?
It is imperative to provide a variety of high quality, nutritious food for our residents. Our menus are reviewed by a registered dietitian. We place an emphasis on freshly prepared foods rather than pre-packaged ones. We interview residents and their family members about their favorite recipes and incorporate them into our menus. In addition, a recipe book has been created consisting of our food prep staff and resident favorites.
What do you do if my family member's mobility is compromised creating a risk for falling?
Michael W. Zislis, PT completes a comprehensive functional mobility and fall risk assessment. Then, a Risk Management program is developed consisting of:
- Adaptive equipment recommendations and strategic placement;
- Therapeutic exercises and balance/coordination drills to enhance mobility and safety;
- Staff training to properly support and guard each resident for optimal safety; and
- Resident training to facilitate wise choices pertaining to functional mobility as well as the use of call devices.
How do you meet the social needs and interests of the residents?
We believe that assisted living consists of much more than simply keeping a resident and the environment clean and dispensing their medications. As a result, we have a full time activity coordinator and an activity assistant to facilitate a variety of social activities. Our three tiered program consists of:
- Home based activities facilitated by our activity staff: (Examples: cognitive level appropriate board games, craft activities, exercise groups, singing, computer center, raised bed gardening/plant care, supervised cooking/baking, seasonal home decorating, current affairs discussions, BBQ's etc.)
- Home based activities conducted by outside groups: (Examples: various musical entertainment, Active Minds program, visits by local school and youth groups, magicians and other performers, religious institution representative visits, etc.)
- Community based outings: (Examples: various museum trips, Ocean Journey, Zoo, Wild Life Experience, sight seeing van tours, lunch outings, sporting events, senior specific enrichment events, Botanical gardens, Imax, concerts, etc.).

What happens if we run out of funding for assisted living care?
Although payment is made largely through private resident funds, we will provide documentation and credentialing information for those who qualify for supplemental funding such as the VA Aid and Attendance Pension program or Long Term Care Insurance. We have two Medicaid beds in each of our homes and we strive to keep our residents placed in our homes even after they have exhausted their private funds.
Serenity House Assisted Living Homes are Licensed by the Colorado Department of Health and are located in quiet residential communities in the South Central Denver metropolitan area.
