Assured Assisted Living (303) 814-2688

About Us

Our Mission

Our mission is to improve the quality of life of our residents suffering from Alzheimer's and related dementias in a residential, home-style, least restrictive, but secure environment while providing ongoing support and peace of mind to their families through the dedicated services of competant, caring and compassionate Care Specialists.

Our Company

Assured Assisted Living is owned and operated by a wife and husband team: Sheryl A. Thompson, R.N., CMIS-I, President and CEO and John A. Thompson, Vice-President. Their professional experiences with seniors include being the founders and managing members of Assured Horizons Eldercare and Assured Horizons, LLC which was the largest company offering 14 residential care facilities for Alzheimer's and medically  frail seniors in Orange County, California since 1995.
 
After several trips to Colorado and visiting the homes of Sheryl's Mother, Father, Maternal Grandparents and Great Grandparents in the cities of Denver and Colorado Springs the Thompson's fell in love with the beauty and friendliness of Colorado and decided to permanently make Colorado home.  
 
We plan on continuing our expertise and passion in serving the needs of residents with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias at Assured Assisted Living with the same dedication of service and quality of care as we have in the past.

Our Staff

We are proud of the great employees who work for Assured Assisted Living. Our Care Specialists are totally committed, highly qualified and carefully selected individuals who possess a heart for service, especially for those with some form of dementia.
 
In addition to their previous experience, our Care Specialists recieve initial training that includes a specialized curriculum leading to national recognition as a Certified Memory Impairment Specialist (CMIS).
 
The core of the program consists of five modules:
  • Introduction to Memory Impairments
  • Behaviors
  • Communications
  • Activities of Daily Living
  • Living Environment
Their professional skills are also continually enhanced through our own extensive series of dementia-specific mini-modules exclusive to Assured Assisted Living. The continual training program facilitate the staff by acquiring a whole bank of ideas and successful strategies for improving the quality of care they provide for individuals with memory loss.

R.N. Managed

Sheryl Thompson, R.N., CMIS-I is dedicated full time to making Assured Assisted Living the best Memory Care facility in our region. She visits every prospective resident prior to moving in to begin the assessment and care planning process. Reviewing the cognitive skills of each resident allows for the developement of a customised program that provides the structure and support to meet individual needs. She will also assist and advise residents and family members as they  struggle with difficult long-term care issues.
 
In addition, Sheryl will also be managing the day to day operations of the facilities by providing ongoing monitoring of our residents and supportive oversight to our Care Specialists. This Registered Nurse involvement means that Assured Assisted Living staff get the guidance they need to safely assist our residents who live with chronic illness, disability or memory loss.
