Personalized Senior Living in Bayfield, Colorado
Evenings Porch was founded in 2014 with a mission to redefine assisted living through personalized care and a homelike environment. Our approach stems from firsthand experience: after surviving a severe car accident, our owner Lee McCutchen lived as a resident, gaining profound insight into the vulnerabilities and needs of seniors. This unique perspective shaped our commitment to nurturing independence while providing cutting-edge care techniques. Our staff receives ongoing training and competitive wages, resulting in exceptional retention rates that foster familial relationships between caregivers and residents.We prioritize organic meals sourced from local growers, therapeutic activities tailored to individual interests, and thoughtfully designed amenities that promote dignity and comfort. Our 16-bed facility features private bathrooms, personalized climate control, and outdoor spaces including a community garden and labyrinth. Through Lee's personal journey and our team's dedication, we've cultivated a community where residents thrive socially, physically, and emotionally while maintaining autonomy.
