Senior living & care in Aurora, Colorado

Shalom Park is an elder community in Aurora, Colorado, providing long-term nursing care and rehabilitation with 24-hour professional staffing. It follows the Eden Alternative, a model that treats loneliness, helplessness and boredom as the real problems of institutional care and reorganizes daily life around companionship and purpose. The community describes itself as a loving home where each person grows and learns, and its staff are called Care Partners rather than aides, which is characteristic of the model. Amenities include a bistro and salon, a wellness center, activities programming and gardens. A virtual tour is available on the community's site. Long-term nursing care is usually funded through Medicaid or private pay, with Medicare covering a rehabilitation stay. Ask which applies, and look up the community's current inspection record with Colorado before deciding.
