Our Culture
Engaging the values that we closely embrace, we cultivate our work environment to be supportive and responsive to our residents, but also to our staff members and volunteers.
Openness, Respect and Collaboration - Building Blocks for Delivering Caring Services
Senior Housing Options, Inc. (SHO) is a charitable organization that serves low and moderate income elderly and adults with physical and mental disabilities. We currently own and/or manage both assisted living and affordable apartment living units for over 366 residents including properties in Cortez, Denver, Longmont, and Parachute. SHO generates its own revenues to the extent possible and manages resources well, but still there are unmet needs that require us to ask for help from individuals, businesses, and foundations to assure high care for all residents.
