Finding the right Colorado Springs assisted living facility for your loved one is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. You want to ensure they will not only be safe and cared for but also enjoy a rich and fulfilling daily life. At New Day Cottages, we understand this concern, and we take great care to create a warm, welcoming, and compassionate environment.

A Caring and Compassionate Community

At New Day Cottages, we foster a community that feels like family. From the moment your loved one arrives at our Colorado Springs assisted living facility, they will be welcomed with open arms by our friendly staff and residents. Transitioning to an assisted living facility can be challenging, but we make it our mission to help new residents feel at home quickly.



Our caregivers take the time to get to know each resident personally—their preferences, habits, and needs. Our custom-tailored approach ensures that your loved one, parent, or spouse receives not just compassionate care but the attention and respect they deserve. With empathetic staff available 24/7, your loved one is always in good hands at New Day Cottages.

Personalized Care and Support

Every resident at New Day Cottages has individual needs, routines, and preferences. Our personalized care includes assistance with bathing, dressing, personal hygiene, and medication administration and management, with dignity and independence in mind. If your loved one has changing support needs, talk with our team about their daily routines and the care they require. We can discuss whether either of our homes is a suitable fit; specific care needs should be reviewed before making a decision.

Comfortable and Inviting Living Spaces

New Day Cottages offers two one-level, ranch-style homes in northern Colorado Springs: our Briargate home at 1577 Turner Rd has 11 private resident rooms, and our Pine Creek home at 10975 Howells Rd has 16 private resident rooms. Shared living spaces and outdoor pathways provide places for conversation and relaxation. During a tour, ask about room layouts, bringing familiar belongings, and how the setting fits your loved one’s mobility and daily routines.

Nutritious Meals Tailored to Dietary Needs

Home-cooked meals and nutritious snacks are part of daily life at New Day Cottages. Shared mealtimes give residents a familiar place to enjoy food and conversation. Before choosing a home, discuss your loved one’s food preferences, allergies, dietary needs, and any assistance they need during meals. Our team can explain what can be accommodated and how mealtime support works.

Engaging Activities and Socialization Opportunities

Daily activities at New Day Cottages offer opportunities for connection, creativity, and movement. Residents may enjoy exercise sessions, music, arts and crafts, Bible studies, current-events discussions, garden walks, and group outings. Ask about the current activity schedule and how participation can fit your loved one’s interests, preferences, and support needs.

A Focus on Health and Wellness

Talk with our team and your loved one’s healthcare professionals about how any outside services would be arranged and which responsibilities belong to each provider.

Family Involvement and Support

Family connection matters when a loved one moves into assisted living. Ask our team how visits, shared activities, and communication with family members work, and discuss the routines and relationships that matter most to your loved one. You can also read family testimonials to learn about experiences shared by New Day Cottages families.

Peace of Mind for Families

Choosing assisted living is an important family decision. A visit can help you understand the home, meet the people who provide daily support, and ask how care is tailored to individual needs. At New Day Cottages, personalized assistance, home-cooked meals, shared activities, and a small-home setting are central to daily life. Discuss your loved one’s needs with our team so you can consider the fit together.
