Applewood Our House Assisted Living Memory Care Arvada opened in 2013 and stands in a quiet neighborhood with wide mountain views, outdoor spaces, cottonwood trees, and plenty of sunlight. The single-story buildings have open floor plans with private or companion rooms, so folks can move easily and feel secure, and there are features like wheelchair-accessible showers, tubs, and a great room for relaxing with others. There are five memory care homes in total, including sixteen private rooms at the North Arvada location, all designed to meet the needs of seniors with dementia or Alzheimer's in a setting that feels like home again, with secure units and safety alarms on doors and windows.
Residents live with support and safety, as there's 24-hour care from a kind and gentle team trained in dementia and Alzheimer's care, and staff keep the place homelike and calm, always on hand to help with daily needs, laundry, personal care, medication, and health needs like diabetic and incontinence care. Meals come fresh from dietitians and chefs every day, using seasonal foods, and snacks are ready when needed so nutrition stays a top priority for everyone, no matter their tastes or dietary needs. Folks get a say in their care, with personal plans that aim to keep them at ease and happy, including support for managing daily grooming, health, and even their routines.
There are walking paths outside and a secure yard bigger than half an acre for gentle exercise, group walks, or just soaking up sun, and there's even a house dog for company, since both cats and dogs are welcome as pets under the community's pet-friendly policy. For entertainment and well-being, regular activities and events help keep minds and bodies active, with things like cognitive games, motor activities, devotional time, off-site trips, and social gatherings, all planned by a staff that listens to residents' interests and passions.
Common areas, indoors and out, are built to encourage memory, conversation, and connection, with comfortable furniture, natural cherry cabinets, granite counters, and spaces to gather or sit quietly. The community's field-tested Our House memory care program helps each resident find structure and comfort suited to their needs, including memory stimulation activities, emotional and behavioral support, and lots of encouragement to join in and share stories. Transportation's arranged for shopping, appointments, or outings, and families can use a private online portal to stay connected and informed. Applewood Our House holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and shares resources for FAQs and moving tips, helping new residents settle in as smoothly as possible.
The community aims to treat each person with warmth, respect, and dignity, taking the time to know their background, listen to their stories, and help them feel valued in a place that stays lively without being overwhelming-a spot where new memories get made, families find comfort, and staff show kindness in every interaction.
