Life Quality Homes I Oakridge House sits in a quiet Colorado Springs neighborhood with four private houses, each licensed for up to six residents, where small group care with personalized plans helps older adults who want a calm place instead of a big, busy community, and you'll find that the staff keeps an eye on folks 24/7 while respecting their independence, always offering help with bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication when needed. The place is known for memory care-especially Alzheimer's and dementia-with secured doors, protected gardens, and activities aimed at keeping minds engaged every day, and you'll see folks taking walks, joining music therapy, pet therapy, movie nights, keeping up with hobbies, and sometimes even doing crafts or enjoying outdoor relaxation, which all helps bring some routine and joy to daily life. Residents can choose from private or semi-private rooms, with private bathrooms or shared options, and people are allowed to bring pets if it's alright with management. Suites come unfurnished or furnished, and families can personalize the space to make it feel more like home, while cable TV, Wi-Fi, emergency alert systems, personal phones, and all-day dining services bring some comfort and convenience.
The staff focuses on dignity, respect, kindness, and love and they make it a point to get to know every resident, helping families feel welcomed and supported by listening to their concerns and working closely with them, and everyone seems to say the community's got a family atmosphere with caregivers who stick around and stay involved. There's constant attention-caregiver ratios are better than most, which means faster help and a staff that really notices when someone's not feeling well or needs a change to their care routines. The community has a no smoking policy inside both private rooms and public areas, and the environment stays clean and safe, with daily housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance handled by staff.
Residents get homemade meals three times a day, and dietary needs like allergies or diabetes can always get special attention. There's scheduled social, educational, and entertainment activities, transportation for doctor visits and errands, help with pet care, and even access to faith-based outings, while hospice care and wound care are also available if it's needed. Amenities cover small things like movie nights, gardens, community dining, walking paths, recreation rooms, and possibly even things like a Jacuzzi or barber shop, depending on the house. The facility welcomes veterans, works with support groups, and takes Medicaid, Medicare, private pay, and long-term care insurance-including PACE, Tricare, and UHC contracts-and they're proud to be recognized for good care with awards like Best of Senior Living. The main goal is supporting each resident's well-being so they can age with dignity and grace in a safe, loving place that feels like home, with a staff that acts more like family than anything else.
