Veterans Community Living Center at Fitzsimons

1919 Quentin Street, Aurora, Co 80045, United States1919 Quentin Street, Aurora, CO 80045
Overview of Veterans Community Living Center at Fitzsimons

Veterans Community Living Center at Fitzsimons in Aurora offers nursing home and skilled nursing care, assisted living, hospice care, memory care, and respite care. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock. Assisted living helps with bathing, dressing, and medication while residents keep their own living space; memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, hospice care focuses on comfort during a terminal illness, and respite care offers a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

There are 180 beds here. A community of this size has more residents and staff, and usually more programming, than a smaller home. The range of care types can suit someone whose needs change over time, including a resident who may eventually need a more supervised setting or short term support. Raenell Lynn Simmons serves as the administrator.

Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay are accepted, giving families several ways to cover care. Medicare applies to short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence. Total nurse staffing is 5 hours and 42 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nursing time allocated to each resident. A Walk Score of 67 means the area is somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may still be able to make some nearby trips independently.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Colorado

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Colorado?

Assisted living in Colorado supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Colorado?

Assisted living in Colorado is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Colorado Medicaid cover assisted living?

Colorado Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Colorado) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 412 assisted living facilities in Colorado. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Colorado?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Colorado, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Colorado?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
