Assisted Living Communities in Monument, CO

"I looked at the MorningStar at Mountain Shadows. It was a very clean and very nice place. I liked it. It had a nice view. I was looking more, though, for a place that was just assisted living that was only one story. I would feel more comfortable with my aunt being in a simpler layout. The living space was very nice. It was as spacious as the one that I saw at the other place. They have other living conditions where they would share a common area and share a bathroom, but I didn't like that feature. Residents were sitting in the little living room there watching a program, and that was really about all that I saw in terms of their activities. The staff were very friendly and very nice though. They were one of my top choices. Everybody was very nice, friendly, helpful and informative."

"My in-laws are moving into the Home Care at Popa's. The place is workable. It's customizable to our wants within memory care standards, so that told us how we can get what we desire that we weren't getting at the other places. The staff gave us ideas of what we may want to do for their living space, and we're excited to get to paint and do customizable touches that will make them feel at home. The staff was lovely. The place we're going on the lower level needs work and we get to do it. But up top where the clients are, for the other part, it was very nice. It's well cared for and updated to current standards of homes. We did not try the food, but we saw them making dinner and it looked like something our parents would like."

"I've been to Brookdale Vista Grande a couple of times visiting my mother-in-law. It seems well run. I don't have any complaints and my wife doesn't either. They're taking good care of her. They do her laundry, they come in and clean her room, and she goes downstairs to the cafeteria and eats every meal. They have three meals a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner. The staff has been real friendly. We haven't had any problems. They keep the facility clean. I haven't seen anything that needed attention."

"Melody Assisted Living and Memory care is a wonderful community. We moved my mother from another facility, into Melody memory care, and couldn't be happier. Chia, Jessica , Lisa , Robyn and Julie, and the caregivers are exceptional. They are caring, compassionate, proactive, and fun. Activities are engaging and they encourage all residents to participate. Caregivers are very attentive and meet the residents needs. They are always available to answer questions or concerns. The food is very good, and families are encourage to join their loved one for a meal. The team have created a sense of family here. I used to be worried when I had to go out of town, but since moving my mother to Melody, I know she is well cared for, and I have peace of mind while I'm gone."

"We toured here. It'll start out with assisted, and then as my dad's dementia progresses, we'll go to the memory side if I choose that facility. It was beautiful. As soon as we walked in it smelled like fresh-baked cookies. The receptionist was very welcoming, and she was explaining just how good she thinks the company is, and that if they had a facility in Wisconsin, she would put her mom in one, and she just kind of explained how well the residents were taken care of. When the tour started with the activities coordinator, she was very thorough. She showed me everything they had to offer. She was able to show me the four different floor plans. It was very like descriptive. She took me to the kitchen and took me to where they get their haircut. She showed me their laundry facilities and the list of activities that they have every day. They have seven or eight activities that last throughout the whole day. They cater their activities to the residents, and all the residents that I saw were very well taken care of. All the CNAs and the nurses and all the staff that works with the residents were very, very approachable, and you could tell that they enjoyed their job. It was just amazing. And they have the cutest, most beautiful cat on the memory side. It followed us around and it was affectionate with the residents. It was just awesome. Nobody was eating at the time we went, but the staff explained that there's no assigned tables and they can sit wherever they want. She showed me the menu and it was awesome. They have their food that's offered every single day, but then they also had three other choices specific for that day that the residents could choose. And the food wasn't just like your simple cheeseburger with french fries, but it was pulled pork with mashed potatoes and broccoli. I told the lady that if I could move my dad in today, I would. I did not taste the food, but the residents on the memory care side were in the middle of eating, and it smelled delicious. We looked at two floor plans and they looked great. They looked like miniature houses. We would have to furnish them ourselves, which is totally fine. Each room that I saw had a wonderful view. They even had a garden outside and a patio, which was super cute. The garden didn't have any plants in it because it's winter, but they have a whole setup out there for vegetables and herbs. I was just pleasantly surprised with everything. They had very big TVs and had a Western showing like the older programs because the residents are older."

"The food at The Lodge at Palmer Point Residential Assisted Living was good. The facility was very clean and nice. When I walked in, there were people around and people to talk to. The staff was very friendly and attentive. It's one giant mansion with eight tiny apartments. You can have assisted living, independent living, hospice, or nursing care. It's everything. If Mom progresses, I won't have to move her."

"My aunt is at Home Care at Kettle's. They were very, very helpful. They helped me move in quickly and also worked with me until we figured out the money situation. The staff is very helpful, very friendly, and always willing to help me and answer my questions and stuff. The residents are allowed to go outside. They have activities in the basement, although, I haven't seen my aunt go down there. Outside they have something like a gazebo. The nice thing about it is they have a nurse practitioner who comes every Monday. She called me and asked me if she could put my aunt on a prescription and then she worked with me to get insurance with the pharmacy that they use. We got my aunt set up on some medicine and stuff."

"We had a great tour at Brookdale Monument Valley Park. It's a lovely place. It's just that the location was not as good for us. The people were very friendly and very helpful. That was great. They had birds and bunnies, which was a nice feature of that place."

"My husband has been at the Retreat of Sunny Vista in the Memory Support unit for over a month. His admission and transition into the unit has been smooth and flawless (even with the Delta Variant restrictions). The staff members are all very caring, attentive and compassionate. I continue to be very pleased with the communication from numerous departments. I have personally been a R.N. with 45 years of service in hospital areas, therefore the care my husband is receiving had provided me with a wonderful peace of mind and comfort."

"We toured Winslow Court. Everything about it was better than all the rest. I mean, they seemed more caring. There was more socializing and the price is a factor. It's a better place than all the rest. They're set up for meals, so we like all that. They've got nice rooms and people seem to care a lot. The facility was clean and nice. The ones we looked at had a nice little kitchen, a living room, and a bedroom. If we were to live with someone else there are two bedrooms and they're far apart from each other. The restaurant was set up nicely."

"I like the overall feel of the whole facility of Brookdale Skyline because it's a fairly large campus. I like where it's located. It's in a beautiful part of Colorado Springs. I like the size of the apartment. The apartment was a perfect size; I liked it. It had a complete kitchen with a stove, not a kitchenette. I liked that the dining room was not huge; it was a good size. I just like the overall facility. It just felt good. They did a great job on the tour. The little girl who did it was wonderful. She did a great job. When it comes to the building itself, it was very clean."

"My dad is a resident of Bear Creek Senior Living. Everyone is super friendly, and the service is great. Any accommodation I needed, there would never be a problem. The food is great, too. The place looks awesome. They seem like they have a bunch of activities."

"I had an in-person tour of Broadmoor Court Assisted Living. The tour was very nice. It seemed like the staff was very knowledgeable. One thing I was impressed with was, as they walked me through, they seemed to know the names of everybody we ran into, and all the people that were staying there. They knew them personally. They gave me a very thorough tour. I really liked the dining area and the way they set that up. The rooms were nice. They have the shared rooms downstairs and the single rooms upstairs. I got to tour both, and they seemed adequate. They had singers come in and play music. They had church services at particular times of the week, which I was also impressed with. I think they're faith-based assisted living. They told me that they had some exercise-type things, some sitting down, and some not. I know they walk a lot of the patrons. She took me outside and showed me where they would walk when it was warm. You can walk all the way around the place. I know they have different sitting rooms around. There were puzzles, games, and a TV."
