Overview of The Manor at Marston Lake
Twelve beds and 28 years in operation. The Manor at Marston Lake is a small, long-running assisted living and memory care community at 4800 S Wadsworth Blvd in Littleton, Colorado. The two-story building sits in a somewhat walkable area (Walk Score 30), 6.1 miles from Littleton’s city center, though most errands call for a car.
Assisted living and memory care are both offered. Studio floor plans are available. The facility operates on private pay; Medicare and Medicaid are not accepted, which families should factor into financial planning from the outset.
What can be said is that The Manor at Marston Lake is a residential-scale community that has held its footing in the Littleton market for nearly three decades. At 12 beds, it functions closer to a home setting than an institutional one, and that scale defines who it is likely to serve best: individuals seeking memory care or assisted living support in a smaller, more consistent environment, financed privately.
