Serenity House, South High Street Englewood, CO

Serenity House was a very nice, cozy house. The staff was very nice. They had a nice backyard and a deck, and they had nice activities. They took very good care of the residents with medications and everything. What stood out was the location, the size, and the activities. They do activities all the time and they bring people in, like musicians and things like that. The caretakers play games with them like card games and board games. They are never bored.

The facility is wonderfully clean and well decorated, appointed, and very up-to-date. The residents seemed very lively, well-adjusted and alert. There is a constant variety of activities, so something for everyone to do during the day. The dining hall is beautifully-appointed, with a menu that is second-to-none. We enjoyed many meals with our brother-in-law there. The menu is well planned and has many options that are healthy. His room, and the other rooms, are amazingly decorated and very warm with cozy touches. We all really love his nurses, who are very attentive, and the nurse-to-patient ratio is the best of all the places we looked at. Our brother-in-law has already made many friends, and thinks of this as home. He has really opened up and participates in many of the activities and clubs. I highly recommend Serenity House, and anything your loved one needs will be taken care of, and all of the residents we spoke with said they enjoy living here, love the facilities, and that the staff is wonderful.

My grandmother adele was a resident there prior to her passing away. She was an extremely high maintenance and picky woman who wanted what she wanted, when she wanted it and in the way she wanted it. She liked the Serenity House which says quite a bit about the facility and the staff. It was clean, pristine actually. Not only that the decor was cared for, cheerful and you could see that someone had put time and energy into creating and maintaining a good environment. The staff wanted to be there. They were no staff members I saw that seemed like they were just bidding their time or unhappy to be there. They were happy and seemed genuinely invested in creating a good environment for senior citizens who were reaching the end of their lives. There was also a sense of community amongst the patients. They were encouraged to interact and build relationships. I think my grandmother even had a boyfriend or two :) I felt good having her there and she never complained. That in itself speaks volumes.
