Modena Cherry Creek

Long story short, NEVER send ANYONE you care about here!!! My father was in memory care and they were at less than half capacity, so you'd think they could provide decent, responsible care. Within a week his first fall was a mystery. He had serious bruising and a cut wrist, but no one could say exactly when or where or how he got hurt. A few days later, while we were searching for a better option, he fell while standing up in the main living area. He was the only resident there and 2-3 staff members were across the room. Staff watched it happen, and even though he was know to have balance issues and was prone to standing up abruptly, no one thought to position him near a staff. He smashed his head on an end table and died about 10 days later. The facility is beautiful and they tout the dining options. Several individual caregivers were also excellent. The company culture is just so twisted to place so much emphases on appearances and to value actual care so little. Just stay away from this place.I wish we had this to do over, but I hope your loved one can be spared the horror we experienced.

My friend is currently in the memory care of Modena Cherry Creek. It is beautiful. The rooms are spacious. The staff is very caring and very attentive. You feel like they're family. It's a first-class operation all the way, including the chefs in the kitchen. The food is excellent. It's a stainless-steel kitchen that's open-faced behind plexiglass. You can sit there and watch the chefs prepare food. They have an open-fire pizza. It's just a beautiful facility, and the food is very good. I have never been in their studio, but their rooms are very spacious and very nice. They have a lot of activities; almost every hour there's something going on. They have a theater that has theater seats. They have a wine and beer bar that residents can go to, sit, and relax with big windows that overlook the Rocky Mountains. They have a fairly decent-sized patio on the third floor with a firepit. They have a beauty shop, where barbers and beauticians come and offer services to the residents. They have a big van and a full-time driver where they can transport residents. They also go on excursions. They include memory care as well. I think they get those people out; but quite often, individuals are walking around the block. I was nervous that they wouldn't be able to get him out of his room. They succeeded in getting him out and making friends, and he even has a girlfriend. He doesn't really engage in the activities, but he will be there. He's made friends, and they've done it way more than I anticipated.
