The Power of Grants in Assisted Living

Running an assisted living home can get expensive fast—especially when you’re fixing up a property. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

But guess what?
Grants can help pay for those big upgrades! ๐ŸŽ‰

Thanks to grant funding, we made our Colorado home better than ever—inside and out. Let's take a look…

Exterior Improvements: Safety and Accessibility

We started with the outside to make it safe and welcoming.

Here’s what we did:

โœ… New driveway – No more cracks! We resurfaced the asphalt.

๐ŸŒณ Removed messy bushes – Cleaner look and easier to walk around.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Added railings and concrete paths – So residents can move around safely.

๐Ÿชต Put in a new fence – Keeps the home private and secure.

Now, the curb appeal is awesome, and it’s much safer for both residents and staff!

Interior Renovations: Modernizing the Space

Let’s talk about what changed inside:

๐Ÿ‘ฉ‍๐Ÿณ Kitchen Makeover

We gutted the kitchen and started fresh:

โœจ New cabinets

๐Ÿ”Œ New appliances

๐Ÿšฐ New sink and faucet

Now it’s not just pretty—it’s super functional for meal prep!

๐Ÿ›๏ธ Bedroom Refresh

Some bedrooms got a makeover too!
We made sure:

Every resident has their own space

We added wardrobes for storage (No closet? No problem—most states allow wardrobes instead!)

๐Ÿ”ฅ Fire Safety First

Safety is HUGE in assisted living. Here’s what we added:

๐Ÿ”” An upgraded fire panel

๐Ÿ›— An upgraded fire escape for emergencies

These updates help us meet state safety rules while keeping the home's original charm. ๐Ÿก


๐Ÿ›‹๏ธ Basement + Attic Makeovers

We didn’t stop at the main floor!
We made the basement and attic super useful, too:

Downstairs:

๐Ÿ›‹๏ธ Comfy sitting area

๐Ÿ’ผ Admin office

๐Ÿ›๏ธ Extra bedrooms

๐Ÿงบ Updated laundry room

 ๐Ÿฅซ A new pantry for food storage

Upstairs:

We kept the home’s old-time charm but made it fresh and useful! Some rooms are shared, some are private, so there’s something for everyone.


๐Ÿ›๏ธ Blending Old + New

This home was built in the 1890s—that’s over 130 years ago! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ
It’s full of character and history.

We kept:

๐ŸชŸ The beautiful bay window

๐Ÿงฑ Some of the old designs and woodwork

And we mixed that with modern touches to make it feel both cozy and up-to-date. ๐Ÿฅฐ
