Colorado residents may receive Medicaid coverage if they have an annual pretax household income that&rsquo;s below the state&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.benefits.gov/benefit/1621" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Medicaid income limits</a>, which are $16,146 for individuals or $21,892 for a couple.

St Bernadette Assisted Living, located at 4468 E Lake Cir S, Centennial, Colorado 80121, offers assisted living care in a residential-style setting. The community is dedicated to providing each resident a top-notch, safe and pleasant home atmosphere that enables them, their families and others to express themselves in a positive manner. While the primary care type is assisted living, the home is described as a five-bedroom, four-bath residence with three wheelchair-accessible beds and one barrier-free bathroom, which suggests a small, intimate environment. 

At St Bernadette's, residents enjoy a beautifully landscaped front and backyard, which supports amenities like a garden and patio time. They also provide standard housekeeping/maid services, laundry for linens and for clothing, and include utilities (excluding phone in the room) in the base service. The home offers three home-cooked meals daily, snacks available throughout the day, and an open kitchen concept. Residents are encouraged to participate in daily activities tailored to them, including music, games, gardening and arts &amp; crafts, reflecting the community's commitment to purposeful living. 
 
What stands out about St Bernadette's is its small-scale, home-like layout: all resident rooms are on the main floor, including two "master" rooms with their own bathrooms, living room, formal dining room, family/rec room and sunroom. This design allows for personalized care in an environment that feels more like a home than an institution. Safety is enhanced with wheelchair accessibility, barrier-free bathrooms and a focus on individualized care. For nearby attractions, Centennial offers plenty of outdoor living spaces through the city's Parks, Trails &amp; Open Spaces system.
