Who are you searching for?
Residential care homes in Thornton may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Thornton care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.
Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Thornton, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.

Residential Care Home
The people are varied in ages and levels of needs and care, so I think it makes it a little tough for activities. I think they do as best as they can trying to keep everyon active. I think the staff is terrific. The food seems to be homestyle cooking and nutritious. I think you get a little more personal care than with some of the bigger places. I feel like they have tried to work with us. They have a P.A. that stops by, and they take good care of them.
I have been very pleased with the help and care from Auburn View. He is always well cared and treated like he is part of the family. Treated very well and respected.
We have been so happy with Makarios Assisted Living. It was the first place we toured and when we got here the staff was just amazing and my mom just absolutely loves it here. The room sizes here are pretty good, she has plenty of room for her things. It really feels like family here, they are all very caring and I would absolutely recommend.
