Graceful Senior Living of Castle Rock is an assisted living and memory care community in Castle Rock, Colorado, which is part of the Graceful Living group of care options, and sets itself up with private, studio, and one-bedroom rooms that start around $4,500 a month, sometimes including all the rent and services in a single price, which a fair number of folks have said is pretty average for the area. The staff help residents with daily needs like bathing, dressing, and taking medicines, and there's a part-time nurse, personal care staff, and 24-hour supervision with nurses on for 12 to 16 hours each day, and an emergency-call system always available. The community offers flexible assisted living for seniors who want independence but might need a bit of help, as well as specialized memory care for folks with dementia or Alzheimer's, which includes secure areas made to help keep people from wandering and activities meant to support cognitive function.
The grounds and buildings are secure, including landscaped courtyards, a protected memory care garden, and guest parking, which some find calming, especially with views of Pikes Peak and the Front Range, plus walking paths, gardening spots, and patio spaces. Apartments have cable and fast WiFi, telephones, and some rooms come furnished, and sometimes they take pets. Residents can go to Tai Chi classes, yoga or chair yoga, barber and beauty salons, a private jetted spa, a recreation room, music programs, arts and crafts, even book discussions or game nights, and there's always something planned, with indoor and outdoor activities, outings to local parks, shopping, and entertainment events run by both staff and residents. There's a focus on supporting seniors at every level of cognition, from mild to more advanced memory loss, with therapeutic and social activities intended to bring connection and stimulation, and plenty of opportunities for residents to shape their own experiences.
