This year Madison House dining staff decided to deep fry a turkey, in addition, to the regular turkey feast. Some residents weren’t quite sure if they wanted to try it but those that did thought it was very good. Since it was such a hit they have decided to add it to the Christmas menu. Many residents watched out the window as staff cooked the bird and some watched in the alley. Quite the conversation starter indeed.
Just give us 48 hours notice, and your cheesecake(s) will be ready for you to pick up at Madison House.

Proclamation
National Assisted Living Week® 2011
“Forever Proud”
Whereas, the number of elderly and disabled Americans is dramatically increasing;
Whereas, assisted living is a long term care service that fosters choice, dignity, independence and autonomy in our elderly nationwide;
Whereas, the National Center for Assisted Living proudly created National Assisted Living Week®;
Whereas, the theme of National Assisted Living Week® 2011—“Forever Proud”—highlights the opportunity to share with our residents a multitude of events and activities that demonstrate how much we care for and love them;
Therefore, do I, Mayor Porter, proclaim the week of September 11-17, 2011 as National Assisted Living Week® in Montezuma County, Cortez, CO. I urge all citizens to visit friends, and loved ones who reside at these facilities and also to learn more about assisted living services and how they benefit our communities.
At Madison House, residents can choose a private or companion room, each of which features its own bathroom. Home to 29 residents who enjoy a small intimate atmosphere where friends and family can come and enjoy dinners and special events together. Renovations are underway to update the look and feel of Madison House. Plans call for new carpeting, paint and furnishings.
You will also enjoy the company of Basil Rathbone, the “infamous” resident dog. Since completing his K-9 Obedience training he is always around to create fun and adventure for the residents. An annual cheesecake fundraiser has also helped bring some new things to Madison house. A new projection system, a DVD/VHS player, and new speakers and screen in dining room now make karaoke (a favorite activity) and parties more fun and enjoyable for all!
The longevity of staff members also makes Madison House a special place to be. Many staff have served over 5 years and are devoted to providing quality care to its residents. Madison House is licensed by the Department of Public Health & Environment and certified for Medicaid reimbursement. Madison House recently received a deficiency-free life safety survey in 2010 and is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for those that live there.
Madison House is owned by Senior Housing Options, Inc. a nonprofit organization celebrating over 30 years of service in Colorado. We currently own and/or operate fourteen residences throughout Colorado. We serve over 500 residents in our communities striving to assist seniors of low and moderate incomes and older adults with disabilities.
NCAL established National Assisted Living Week® (NALW) in 1995 as a way to promote assisted living to the public. Because this year’s National Assisted Living Week® begins on the 10 year anniversary of 9/11, it was important for the theme to reflect the pride we feel as citizens and active members of the community.
