Cardan Manor Assisted Living in Aurora, Colorado operates strictly as an assisted-living community, providing residents with day-to-day help while encouraging as much personal independence as possible. The staff focuses on routine tasks such as bathing, dressing, medication reminders, and mobility assistance, tailoring the level of support to each resident’s care plan and adjusting it as needs change.

Beyond daily assistance, the community maintains 24-hour supervision and a secured environment equipped with a Wander Guard–type system for residents who may be at risk of wandering. Clinical services include diabetes monitoring, on-site physical therapy, coordination with outside health-care providers, and the option for short-term or respite stays, allowing caregivers relief or residents a trial period before committing to a longer stay.

Apartments vary in size and configuration, and not every unit includes every feature, but available options can include phone service, cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi or high-speed internet, air conditioning, wheelchair-accessible showers, outdoor decks or patios, and resident parking. Common areas extend living space outdoors with landscaped areas and seating, offering places to relax, socialize, or visit with guests.

The dining program supplies three daily meals with an all-day dining option for residents who prefer flexible schedules. Menus can accommodate kosher, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, organic, low- or no-sodium, and no-sugar preferences, and guest meals are available for visiting family or friends. Seasonal barbecues and picnics add variety and encourage social interaction during warmer months.

Residents can make use of an activity center, join clubs or community groups, stroll on outdoor walking paths, or take part in organized day trips and social outings. Scheduled live dance or theater performances, holiday parties, and a library and computer lounge provide additional ways to stay engaged without leaving the property.
