Thornton Memory Care

Nancy

I liked it and the staff who gave me was very friendly. It was a beautiful place. Everything was very clean. The residents seemed very happy. They had a great big room where they have all their activity. The kitchen was right there in the middle of the great big common area. Everything was really clean and pretty. It looked like a beautiful home. The room that they showed me for my mom was just a big square room with an attached bathroom. You have to bring your own bed, your own TV, and your own dresser and all that kind of thing, so there was nothing in it. The dining area was very nice. They had large wooden tables that everybody could sit together at. They're long rectangular tables. The dining area was out in the open where their living area was with the huge couches and a huge TV. Everybody was always together, whether they were watching TV or eating. They had all kinds of things. I don't remember the specific activities, but I know the staff explained them to me. I told her I didn't think my mom would probably take part in any of those. The place was really pretty and nice.

My mom was a resident in the memory care side of Rocky Mountain Assisted Living in Thornton for about 1 1/2 years. I can't say enough positive things about this place and the people that work there. We looked at 6 or 7 other places before settling on Rocky Mountain. Over the last 1 1/2 years, I continually think that we absolutely picked the best facility for mom. The smaller house size makes it feel much more like a home which feels so much better than a large, impersonal, "Institution". Residents have their own rooms that are very nicely sized. The smaller size reduces the risk of exposure to COVID for the residents. The smaller size allows the staff to get to know the residents personally and tailor their care as needed. We have gotten to know most of the people who work there and they know us and are very easy to work with and will accomodate family needs to every extent possible. It is a very nice facility with a nice back patio to allow residents to relax outside (and family, before COVID). Meals are made fresh daily by the staff. The staff is always caring and helplul. There are activities for the residents scheduled daily. Just want to repeat it again: I have been very happy having my mom at Rocky Mountain Assisted Living.

My relative is a resident of Memory Care-Thornton. It's nice and the help is good. He has his own room, they wash his clothes every day, make his bed, and I'm happy with the service he's getting. They go on outings, they watched the Chicagos last week, and they took them to have a hamburger and pizza. A couple of weeks before they went to a tea company and were shown how they make their tea. They're trying to take them out as much as they can because he's in memory care. The doors are locked. They also have people come into the facility, like there's like a guy with a guitar. As far as the amenities go, they're fine. I have my favorite employees; there's a lady I really like, and she takes good care of them.

Our experience was horrific. They did not know how to handle my mother. She got violent because of not having the medicines figured out and/or in order. She was the second resident in the memory care and the staff was very ill prepared, could not handle her and shorthanded. I'm very unhappy with what she had to go through. The food was not even enough to feed a bird. She never went outside. If she ever got outside, it was when they would put her in the ambulance. The staff members were beautiful people, but there wasn't enough of them. The facility was beautiful, clean, and brand new, but at the time she was there, there had been a plumbing problem and you had to go to the assisted living side to bathe.
