Compassionate Care Rooted in Community
- Our Story
Where Compassion Meets Purpose
Peacock Care Homes was founded in 2021 by a local family in Fort Collins, consisting of a Physical Therapist with a 30-year history of working with seniors in assisted living and memory care communities throughout the Loveland/Fort Collins area, and an MD with training in General Surgery. The vision for Peacock Care Homes is to provide the highest quality assisted living and memory care options for seniors in Northern Colorado.
Our communities consist of renovated homes designed to create a safe, secure, and comfortable environment for small groups of seniors to live together and thrive.

- Our Philosophy
Assisted living VS Memory care
The main difference between assisted living and memory care is the level of care each provides. Memory care is a higher level of care than Assisted living, as it is specifically designed for those with memory impairments such as Alzheimer’s or dementia. Memory care communities provide personal care in assistance with activities of daily living as well as around-the-clock supervision and a secure environment. Assisted living on the other hand is a lower level of care, designed for those who need help with some activities of daily living but are still relatively independent.
