Liz and Tom Littleton own and operate Lighthouse Assisted Living.
Liz, a Registered Nurse, has been a nurse for over 11 years, working in various aspects of nursing from Pediatric ICU to Hospice Nursing. During that time, her true love became Hospice Nursing and end of life care. During her time as a Hospice nurse, she went into people's homes and had several patients in group homes. As a teenager, she used to make house calls at nursing homes with her father, a physician, and wondered why people who needed assistance couldn't live in a small home-like environment and thus receive more love and attention. The whole idea was reborn when Liz realized that these homes existed and were providing people with an alternative to large facilities.
In working closely with the health department, Liz currently teaches a medication (QMAP) class once a month for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment which is required for all staff that administer medications in assisted living facilities.
As a Certified Public Accountant with a Master in Business Administration, Tom always had a desire to operate and own his own business. He recognized an incredible need in our community to help offer options to the aging and frequently sick. Tom has a passion to provide better care to residents for less money and stress to families. He operates the business and marketing aspects of Lighthouse and enjoys spending time with our clients and caring for their needs.
As a family, Tom and Liz love the fact that they are able to work together in business that has greatly enriched their lives. They also have four children who love spending time with the residents.
