Point of the Pines Gardens sits at 330 Elkton Drive in Colorado Springs, close to parks for outdoor walks, and isn't far from UCHealth Emergency Care, clinics, and a Walgreens pharmacy which makes things easier if someone has health needs or just needs to grab a prescription. The place has a range of room options, so some folks can have private studios, one-bedrooms, or even two-bedroom spaces, and others share with a semi-private setup. Every room has its own heating and cooling controls and private baths, which folks seem to appreciate since everyone's comfort is a little different, and air conditioning comes standard. Staff are around day and night for emergencies and help with things folks might need, like moving between bed and wheelchair, bathing, dressing, or checking insulin for people living with diabetes, and there's call monitoring for extra peace of mind.
Meals get served so residents don't have to worry about shopping or cooking, and every day brings three balanced meals with snacks. Housekeeping, laundry, and personal grooming at the on-site hair and nail salon help keep life simpler. The community keeps up plenty of activities, both indoor and outdoor, along with devotional and offsite events, because keeping busy and connected is good for folks. There are common indoor spaces where residents gather for games or just to talk, plus outdoor seating where folks can enjoy the views and fresh air while visiting with neighbors or reading a book. The location makes getting to nearby spots, like McDonald's or Panera Bread, convenient for those who like a quick bite or a change of scenery.
The gardens offer assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, independent living, and continuing care, with staff who tailor help to what each person needs, whether that's medication management or more support for higher care needs. There's wheelchair access everywhere, parking for visitors, and a resident app for easy communication. Fees and prices depend on care level, and the place takes different ways to pay, like private pay, Social Security, veterans' benefits, and insurance. The staff aim to let people stay as independent as possible, but they're there when someone needs more help, and they say the facility's environmentally friendly. The views are nice, plenty of natural light comes in, and all the basic amenities like meals, housekeeping, and activities come standard, no matter if someone uses private pay or Medicaid. The place keeps things simple but covers the important details for folks and their families looking for a steady, friendly, and helpful spot to live.
