Absolutely! Many people start with our patio homes or independent living communities, depending on their preferences and lifestyle needs.
Patio homes are ideal for older adults (typically 55+) who want to own their own home but don’t want to deal with upkeep. Your loved one can enjoy the comfort of a private residence—without the burden of yardwork, snow removal, or home maintenance.
These thoughtfully designed homes feature:
- Zero-entry floorplans
- Heated garages
- Private patios and open layouts
- Friendly, walkable neighborhoods
Our communities—Columbine Patio Homes in Fort Collins and Westwood Patio Homes in Windsor—offer freedom and privacy with access to additional healthcare services if needed later.
Independent living is a great fit for older adults who want fewer responsibilities, social connection, and optional services like meals, transportation, and activities. It’s apartment-style living with built-in support—perfect for people who are ready for simplicity and connection, but don’t need daily assistance.
Assisted living provides a supportive environment where your loved one can receive help with things like bathing, dressing, or managing medications—while still enjoying a private apartment and plenty of independence. It’s a wonderful middle ground between living on their own and full-time nursing care.
If your loved one has complex medical needs, is recovering from surgery, or lives with a condition like dementia, our skilled nursing and memory care communities offer 24/7 care from licensed professionals. We provide both short-term rehab and long-term residential options, with a focus on comfort, safety, and personalized support.
Yes! We offer both home health care and non-medical home support through Columbine Poudre Home Care and Bloom at Home. Services include nursing visits, therapy, assistance with daily routines, meal prep, light housekeeping, and companionship. This is a great option if your loved one prefers to remain in their home.
We provide temporary rentals for medical equipment, short-term therapy, and infusion therapy services. These are ideal after hospital stays or during recovery from illness or injury. We’ll work with you and your loved one to create a smooth transition and provide all the tools they need to heal comfortably.
Yes! We offer discreet and personalized support for women who need products like post-mastectomy bras, lymphedema sleeves, compression garments, and more. Our team is trained to ensure comfort and confidence throughout the process.
Many of our services are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance plans. Our team will walk you through benefits and coverage, and we’ll assist with documentation so you can focus on your loved one—not the paperwork.
We’ve been serving northern Colorado since 1971, and we’re still locally owned and operated. Our approach is personal, compassionate, and rooted in decades of experience. Whether your loved one needs help today or you’re planning for the future, we offer stability, continuity, and care you can trust.
That’s exactly what our continuum of care is designed for. If your loved one starts out in a patio home or independent living community, they can easily transition to assisted living, skilled nursing, or in-home care—without leaving the Columbine network. We adapt to support them, every step of the way.
We’d love to meet you and learn more about your family’s needs. You can schedule a private tour, request a consultation, or just give us a call—we’re here to answer your questions and help you make a confident, informed decision. No pressure, no obligation.
