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."

"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."

"I stopped by Lark Springs, and they gave me a tour. It's well set up for memory care seniors and they have fairly good amenities and food, but that's not what we are primarily looking for. They have a good 6 to 1 ratio of nurses to patients. We are particularly looking for any Asian in the population because my mother, because of the language barrier, could relate better. And they do have several Asians in that community, and they do have a fairly diverse population. So we appreciate that. They also advised me to look into the PACE program, which we didn't know about. So we will do so to see if we can use that to pay. The room is adequate, we saw a single room, but the doubles were very different in size. So I think if you were looking to see if you can use a double occupancy room, that would be tight. If we were to use that facility, we would use the single which means you have to pay more for that. There are individual bathrooms in the room. But you have to use the community area for showers and baths. I saw the community room where there are games and each wing has its own community room, so that's nice. And then I also saw the courtyard for going outside."

"I like Springs Ranch Memory Care. It was probably my number two choice. I thought it was a great place. It was very clean, and the residents were all happy and engaged. I liked that they had a monitoring system that enabled them to tell if there was motion in the room like if a resident was to get up and fall or get up and do something at night, it would alarm them to go check on them. Because my aunt was prone to falling a lot, I think that was a very nice feature. They had a lot of nice programs on their activities calendar that were very engaging and stimulating to somebody with memory issues. It was a very nice place."

"We went to Home Care at Kettle's and toured it. They were nice. They have two or three beds in a room and one person can have his own room. It's all good. And the assistants and the help were all great, too. They had all the facilities. Everything was all right, but I was kind of new to this. The staff who gave the tour was excellent. Nothing negative. It was all good. There's plenty of help, too. I'll give them two thumbs up. They were good. The dining area was kind of small, and nobody was eating. As for amenities in the rooms, they had the set up for the toilet, the bars, and all safety equipment in place. But the room wasn't big, so it would be kind of close contact for people with walkers. They had an outside area where they could go. There's an outdoor patio area. That was pretty nice, too."

"Brookdale Monument Valley Park is definitely a quirky place, and it wouldn't be for everyone. It's an older hotel, so the layout and shape of the rooms aren't uniform. They have a bird cage with birds, and a lot of the residents have pets. So if somebody is a pet-friendly person, then that would work. It's located in a really beautiful area of town, close to several churches. It's obviously in Monument Valley Park; that's in the name."

"The Retreat at Sunny Vista is a warm friendly environment in Colorado Springs for family members who need a little extra help. The staff is courteous and professional. The rooms and entire facility are gorgeous and well kept. They have ongoing activities for residents there like games, movies and field trips. I feel confident my Mom is safe and well taken care of by Barb and her team. Thanks!"

"My dad's experience with Brookdale Skyline has been wonderful. It has all the amenities that a hotel would have, and the rooms are beautiful. They have three or four different styles, and they're all nice and spacious. The people are really nice and very helpful, too. They have a beautiful dining room, a full gym, an indoor pool that's heated, plenty of classes for exercise, a barber shop, a cafe, and tons of activities for the residents to do. They got two free meals and it's buffet style right now due to COVID. They're a bit pricey, but the place is absolutely gorgeous."

"We placed my mom at MorningStar Memory Care. She was there for two months, but she passed away last Sunday. It was a very fairly new facility, hardly open a year when we had mom placed. It was a very beautiful, spacious facility and not overcrowded with residents. The staff was excellent and very attentive to Mom. They were the regular daycare folks who were great and good care and interest to mom. Even the administrative staff and the executive director were really top-notch, capable, and friendly people. We were very happy when she was there. "

"My mom moved into Bear Creek Senior Living. It's been great. We had outdoor visiting, but they've been in quarantine for about four weeks, so hopefully we'll have it again. We did have a period where we were able to visit outdoors. The community is very warm, and communication is excellent."

"I like Emeritus at Broadmoor. It seems to be a really welcoming place. The staff is attentive. At the time of my visit there, people were involved in some games and everybody was very friendly. The atmosphere of this place is just appealing. "

"Everything is very nice at Assured, and it’s like a house with bedrooms in it, just like a big family. The staff is very good. The food is, so far, so good. I know they do crafts, but they need a little more room for exercising. "
