The Best Memory Care Communities in Denver County, CO

"Serenity House was a very nice, cozy house. The staff was very nice. They had a nice backyard and a deck, and they had nice activities. They took very good care of the residents with medications and everything. What stood out was the location, the size, and the activities. They do activities all the time and they bring people in, like musicians and things like that. The caretakers play games with them like card games and board games. They are never bored."

"My mom moved into Woodland Estates Senior Living. She's very happy there. They seem to be very responsive. They check on her regularly and provide all the necessities. They also have outings, which she has already taken advantage of, and the food is excellent. The staff is great, so no complaints. They have met and exceeded her needs. The value is a great match."

"I absolutely loved the Chateau. The common areas were well designed and felt like a home. The main area was decorated as if you were outside in a french courtyard and there were several areas that were like small family rooms with tvs, reading nooks and even a game console. The outside was open to the residents at anytime but had very tall walls to pretect against wandering residents. My mother who was a true recluse actually for the first time in my life spent time hanging out with the other residents. The staff was so good at their jobs that they were able to get her to spend most of her time in the common living area where they did activities such as dancing, making crafts, listening to the daily newspaper be read to them and eat communally. The staff members were so comfortable to be around and really felt more like apart of a family. I never got the feeling they were behaving this way just because I was there. In fact when we first moved my mother there I would visit a couple times a week and stay for no less than 6 hours. They allowed family members to partake in any of the activities and eat any meals while we were there. My mother and I even helped fold the laundry which helped make it much more like a home feel than any of the other homes we looked at. I am so thankful they were able to make my mothers final years what they were. I would recommend the Chateau to anyone. "

"I visited the independent living side of Brookdale Meridian Englewood. It's larger than some that I've been in and seen. I like the room sizes there. The upkeep of the place was also good. It was clean. The staff was very accommodating. The dining area was nice and clean. They take local trips, have exercise classes, and various interest groups that meet."

"Mom is in a studio at Modena Cherry Creek. As you enter her room, there is a small kitchenette to the right and then a small living room to the left. As you walk straight ahead, there's a bedroom and a full bathroom to the right. It's a three-quarter bathroom because it has a shower, not a tub. The facility is extremely clean. They empty her trash daily. They provide her laundry and a cleaning day. They are very caring, very nurturing, and very supportive. Their food is standard. It's not exceptional, but it is better than other facilities that I have visited. The staff has just been fabulous. They greeted us as we moved my mother's furniture into the facility. They have been in contact 24/7 regarding her care. There's no broken furniture. There are areas to stop and rest along the hallways. It's not cluttered, and it's just very beautiful."

"I have chosen Balfour Senior Living because it's very beautiful. Their staff is very nice. The food is excellent. It's the most beautiful place you'll ever see. There's a saltwater swimming pool. The staff members have been wonderful. They're outstanding."

"We toured Harvard Square Retirement and Senior Living. I liked a lot of things about that community. They had long-term employees. It was very clean. It was very nice. They have activities. They have a group that would go and welcome new residents, so they weren't just sitting in their apartments. They wanted people out and engaged, and so I like that. The employees seemed very nice. All the ones we met had been there for at least five years. It was a beautiful setting. They had a library, and they had a walking path, it was very nice. We walked into the dining room, and it looked very nice. And they had different seating configurations. It looked like a restaurant. The building looked very clean. Of the places I looked at, this by far was the best. Residents seemed to be engaged."

"Juniper Village at Aurora was in need of paint and in need of some outside attention. There was some graffiti on one of the fences near Mississippi Avenue, but the inside was very clean and very pleasant. There were no odors. Everybody was extremely nice. Jackie was an absolute doll. When we went into the conference room, they brought in freshly baked cookies for us that were done right there by their chef. The cookies were outstanding. About a day after our visit, I received a book from her (The 36-hour Day was the name of the book). It was a very unexpected and very kind gesture from her. Residents were getting ready to have lunch. Looks like they might have just finished up an art class. The residents were clean. They were in different stages of dementia or Alzheimer's, but they still looked like they had been well-cared for. They were greeted by name whenever someone walked into the room, so they knew their residents well."

"Lakewood Memory Care at Rocky Mountain Assisted Living had beautiful, beautiful facilities. Whoever goes in there, I'm sure they receive very good care. We weren't there at mealtime, but there was a big, open kitchen area, and we could see the menu. We did see all of the facilities in the memory care. They also showed us the assisted living, so they showed us both sections. We were just with the tour lady for the home, and then Eileen, of the organization Rocky Mountain Assisted Living, so they were really the only two that we talked to. The staff that does hands-on work, we saw them working, but didn't talk to them."

"Everyone at Brookdale Pinehurst Park was very nice. It's a really nice facility, very clean, and they've got very friendly staff. I would definitely go back to them and place my mother-in-law at that facility. It's very nice. The staff during the tour was very nice and very helpful. The person running the place was very helpful. The rooms were nice, there's enough space, and clean. They had shared rooms and individual rooms. The shared room was nice and doable. They have activities. They have someone in charge of daily and weekly activities. It sounds like there's a lot of good skilled type activities, especially for memory care. They had a really nice outdoor sitting area."

"Lakewood Reserve was a very nice facility. It was newly remodeled. I felt like it was too far from where I wanted my mom to be. I thought that the person who gave me the tour was great. She was knowledgeable. I liked that every day they would have, like a sample plate for every meal that they would make so that the residents could look at it and go, oh, yeah, I want the egg and the sausage, or I want the egg in the sausage in the toast. And they made like three different plates up. So you had three different variations of what that could look like. I liked the person who was taking the tour, although she was new, she knew people's names. She was like hey, Marcia. We were walking through and she was like oh, hey, Peggy, do you mind if we peek our head into your room? And we were able to look into what a furnished apartment looked like. And the person was affable to allow us to look into her place. They seemed to have a lot of activities. They had, like, this kind of, heightened service to serving people who were in the military and had a military wall. And the person who was in the front who welcomed us, she seemed to know everybody who was going in and out, and it seemed very welcoming and very comfortable. It had recently been renovated so a lot of the spaces were newly painted and newly decorated. And she's been great with follow-up and checking in to see how we were doing. They also looked to see if their facility could accept my mom's medication. And they also were willing to come and do an evaluation on my mom to see whether or not the facility would make sense for her."
