  • Do you have furnished apartments?

    No, Kavod Assisted Living only offers unfurnished apartments.
  • What are the general guidelines for assisted living communities mandated by the state?

    Some of the oversight we provide is in place to keep our residents safe and to comply with regulations from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. For example, Assisted Living residents are required to eat a minimum of two meals per day in the common dining area, comply with state mandates surrounding medications, and report to their caregiver if leaving the facility. While each facility has different protocols surrounding these items, all Assisted Living facilities follow these guidelines to stay in good standing.
  • How many meals a day are served in the dining room?

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in the Assisted Living Dining Room daily.
  • Can I get meals delivered to my apartment if I sick?

    Yes, arrangements can be made if you are unable to eat in the dining room due to illness.
  • How often does the staff check in on me?

    Each resident receives a minimum of 5 contacts a day with Kavod Staff.
  • Will I lose my independence if I move into Assisted Living?

    Not at all! Assisted Living services are designed to help residents with Activities of Daily Living (or ADL’s), such as housekeeping, laundry, and meal preparation. Providing assistance in these areas allows our residents to be more independent and choose to spend time on activities they enjoy.
  • Do you have two bedroom apartments?

    No. Our apartments consist of studio and one bedroom units.
  • How do I apply for Medicaid assistance?

    Eligibility for Medicaid (Health First Colorado) is determined by the State of Colorado and can take 8 to 12 weeks to process. Please contact the Denver Department of Human Services online at Colorado.gov/PEAK or by phone at 1-800-221-3943 to apply for Medicaid services. Kavod is unable to lease apartments with Medicaid pending.
  • What is your plan for dealing with infectious disease and COVID-19?

    Kavod Senior Life adheres to CDC best practices, guidelines and recommendations at all times.

Affordable Housing

  • How much does it cost to apply?

    It is free to apply for housing and to be added to the waitlist. You will not be asked to pay any money until you have signed your lease and receive possession of an apartment. At that time, you will be required to pay for the rent, security deposit, and dining services program (unless exempted).
  • How much does it cost to live in an affordable apartment?

    Kavod's affordable apartments are subsidized through HUD and based on all forms income.
  • How long is your wait list?

    Our wait list times can vary from month to month so it is best to contact our Leasing Department to get the most up to date information. You can reach our Leasing Coordinator at 303.399.1146 x133.
  • Do I need to apply for a separate housing subsidy to live at Kavod Senior Life?

    No, only one application is required to apply for a subsidized/afforable apartment at Kavod Senior Life. You must qualify for tenancy, and subsidy, based on Kavod Tenant Selection Plan. Kavod is a Project Based Section 8 subsidized property.

    Yes, the meal program is one of our required services. The current monthly cost per resident is $262 (as of 2023). A meal subsidy may be available to individuals who qualify (exemptions are considered and USDA-SNAP benefits will soon be accepted). We find that the meal program is an important service in helping residents remain independent for as long as possible.

  • Why do I have to provide financial and medical expense information on my application?

    Rent for Kavod Affordable Housing is based on a number of factors including income, assets and various eligible medical expenses. The information you provide is then verified by a third party to determine eligibility for the HUD subsidy program and the amount of the rent. Information obtained is strictly confidential and your privacy is carefully guarded.
  • Do you have to be Jewish to live at Kavod?

    No. We pride ourselves on being a community that is open to all, regardless of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, disability, familial status or sexual orientation.
  • I need to move immediately. Do you give any preference to individuals in need?

    We are governed by state and federal fair housing law which prohibits us from giving preferential treatment to any individual. The only exception would be individuals that are victims of a Presidential declared disaster such as Hurricane Katrina. These individuals may be eligible to receive priority on our waitlist.
  • Is there resident parking available?

    Kavod does have limited on-site parking for residents. There is a waiting list that residents can add their name to upon move in.
