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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does Colorado Medicaid cover memory care?

Colorado Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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 memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.
