Castle Rock Assisted Living, also known as Wild Rye Home, sits near downtown Castle Rock, Colorado, in the Red Hawk Community, and has a calm, welcoming setting with comfortable, spacious rooms-some are private, and some are shared-and generous views of gardens and the Castle Rock area itself, plus a cozy front porch and back patio for relaxing outdoors when the weather's good. The building is single-story and designed for easy movement, while a 24-hour security system and emergency services help keep residents safe. Caregivers and a registered nurse are always available, including through the night, with a high caregiver-to-resident ratio so people get plenty of attention, and they're able to help with personal needs like bathing, dressing, transfers, and incontinence care, and they handle medication management, housekeeping, laundry, and even linen changes so that daily life stays simple and comfortable.
The staff puts together customized care plans for medical or personal needs, starting with an assessment before move-in, and they support people with health concerns by working with healthcare providers and using programs like Medicaid and other state and federal health resources. They can help residents connect to health information, support with mental health or elder abuse, provide fall prevention tips, and offer interactive tools like a symptom checker and behavioral health resources. There's support for people with high acuity care needs, diabetes, and those who aren't ambulatory, plus the environment's set up to help people with memory loss from Alzheimer's or other dementias stay safe and engaged.
Meals are provided three times a day, with snacks in between, and they're made with care, taking into account allergies and diabetes when needed, and meals taste good and use quality ingredients. The community is pet-friendly and has communal areas like a dining room, walking paths, and gardens, so neighbors can gather for scheduled movie nights, art workshops, music therapy, or even spiritual gatherings, and there are regular fitness classes and social activities aimed at keeping people mentally and physically active. Residents can also use computers and the internet, go out with transportation services, or just relax in the sun on the porch.
There's a strong focus on personal wellness, activity, and connection, and the goal is always to give each resident an environment where they feel respected, looked after, and part of a small, home-like community, since Castle Rock Assisted Living is licensed for just eight or nine residents at a time across homes like Rose Petal, Wild Rye, Woodhouse, and Eveningsong. The team helps with move-in coordination and transportation and is dedicated to supporting seniors who want a calmer, more laid-back lifestyle but still want opportunities for fun, community events, and day-to-day support with whatever they might need. Respite care is available for those only needing temporary help. Overall, everything's designed to keep life simple, healthy, and as enjoyable as possible for each person living there.
