A Doctor's Touch is a certified assisted living home in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where up to 8 seniors live in a medium-sized, wheelchair-accessible house with five bedrooms and two full bathrooms, all designed for older adults, and there are two live-in care managers available around the clock, which helps people feel safe and taken care of, especially since a practicing Board Certified Emergency Room Physician owns and operates the place, and you'll see nurses on staff, a doctor and nurse on call, and other professionals like podiatrists, occupational, speech, and physical therapists, plus a dentist visits too, so care is always pretty close. The staff helps seniors with things like bathing, dressing, and changing clothes, and they'll also help with getting around, even when two people are needed for a transfer, as well as with memory care for folks with dementia or other memory challenges, and there's hospice and respite care for families that need it for a while.
Meals are included for everyone, with special diet options for folks with diabetes or hypertension, and they serve up vegetarian dishes as well as other healthy choices, making sure residents get the nutrition they need, and the kitchen uses quality ingredients, which is important for seniors' health, and just to make things easier, there's housekeeping and laundry, so residents don't have to worry about those chores, and there's help with everyday living, and lots of activities to keep people busy, including crafts, music, sing-a-longs, walking outside, social events, movie nights, and game areas plus a book room for reading. You'll find a spa, sauna, a wellness room, and barber and beauty services where a stylist comes in, so folks can keep up with self-care, and Wi-Fi is available so residents can stay connected. There's also a big focus on keeping people active through exercise schedules and wellness programs offering physical activity, entertainment, outings, gardening, and even therapy pets for comfort-music therapy too, which a lot of people like.
Residents get rides to doctor's appointments, shopping, and spiritual visits, and they can join group outings and devotional gatherings both onsite and offsite, making it easy to keep up with the community and spiritual life without leaving daily comforts behind, and both men and women are welcome-you'll find pet-friendly policies, and staff that are kind and helpful, and you won't find smoking inside anywhere, private or public, which is good for everybody's health. The environment feels relaxed and welcoming, with resident parking for those who still drive, indoor and outdoor living spaces, common areas to socialize in or just pass the time, and wheelchair accessible showers for those who need them. There's a memory unit designed to help those living with Alzheimer's and other conditions, and extra support for people with intellectual or developmental disabilities, mental health conditions, or those with physical limitations or challenging behaviors, and emergency medicine physicians visit for support, so someone's always looking out for residents' safety and comfort. The staff focuses a lot on routine, independence, and helping residents keep active, with regular resources for both families and residents, and the care model sticks close to senior living support, always looking to balance comfort and care while helping everyone keep a sense of connection and belonging, with activities like family dinners or walking around the garden bringing people together.
