Frequent Questions

The Haven Assisted Living offers residents various rate options and care levels to accommodate each individual’s specific needs. These rates often take into account personalized medication assistance, one-on-one care, and room preferences. We also accept Medicaid, so residents who are Medicaid recipients are charged a reduced rate (as determined by the State of Colorado). Please call our Director at 970-875-1888 if you have any questions about the cost of The Haven.

Every meal is made from scratch and we specifically tailor our menu to each residents’ taste preferences and nutritional needs. Breakfast is made-to-order, eggs/toast/bacon your way or fruit and granola, etc– whatever you prefer. Lunch is our biggest meal of the day and is typically a well-balanced protein accompanied by fresh vegetables, salad, starch, and a homemade dessert. Dinner usually includes a soup/salad/casserole and is typically a lighter meal as we have found that our residents prefer it this way. If a particular food item or meal does not suit a resident’s taste or nutritional needs, they may always request an alternative. We also invite your family and friends to join us for meals free of charge. We encourage family and friends to be involved as much as possible in your life at The Haven.

Yes! We allow well-behaved, house-trained cats and dogs. The resident assumes full responsibility for their pet’s actions. Family and friends are also welcome to bring their well-behaved animal(s) in to visit.

We encourage incoming residents to bring furniture and decorations to make their new space feel like home. If needed, we can even furnish the room for you– just inquire with the Director.

We are constantly updating and improving our senior wellness programs, depending on who is living here and their unique interests. Seasons can change our offerings as well. In the summer and springtime, residents might go to the pool weekly, enjoy outdoor concerts, and play yard games. In the winter months, we stay busy maintaining our indoor garden, doing chair yoga, baking and decorating cookies, and playing cards. We often invite kids from the school to come make crafts with our residents too!

Absolutely! The Haven has loads of outdoor space where residents can have their very own gardens.

Yes, we have transportation options available to our residents. We regularly schedule outings and field trips for our entire community, and our team can coordinate with outside service providers to get individuals to doctors appointments.

Click the question above to read our standards for living at The Haven. The Haven welcomes anyone 55 and over who can function independently within our assisted living community. Our staff is here to help, and we understand that residents need help getting up occasionally. However, most times, a resident should be able to move between their room and other common areas such as the kitchen independently. For the safety of our residents and staff, we exclude those with unmanaged alcohol or substance abuse issues, cognitive and/or memory impairments, as well as those with untreated psychological diagnoses. You can read the official list of standards below. If you have any questions about your loved one’s situation, please don’t hesitate to contact the director.

When possible, we strive to have our residents spend the rest of their lives at The Haven. This is the home they know and love, and we work hard to avoid moving a resident to a higher level of care if at all possible. We work closely with the home health and hospice team to meet the needs of people who might experience a sudden decline in their health or get a terminal diagnosis. Due to our small size and safety concerns, we must transition someone to a higher level of care if they require full assistance with transfers, start to wander, have health issues that require 24/7 skilled nursing care, or exhibit violent behaviors towards themselves or others.

We always have at least 2 caregivers working at any given time and can adjust our staffing based on the needs of our current residents. We have very dedicated employees working her, and anyone who has spent time at The Haven knows that we care for our residents as if they were our own family.

We are fortunate to have many long-time employees working here. We even have a full-time caregiver so that if and when a staff member unexpectedly leaves, we are not left understaffed. Instead, the extra full-time caregiver can fill in and float as needed. This allows the Haven to encourage its employees to practice important self-care. Whether that means taking a vacation or a mental health day, we believe that a happy, fulfilled staff translates to happy, fulfilled residents.

The Haven is owned and operated by Northwest Colorado Health and is designated as a 501(C)(3) Not-For-Profit Organization.
