HighPointe Assisted Living & Memory Care, found at 6383 East Girard Place in Denver, stands as a purpose-built assisted living community that provides both assisted living and memory care services, with its memory care building offering a safe place for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, including those who might have major behavioral concerns or tendencies to wander, using technology like alarm bracelets to help keep them secure. The main building uses lots of large windows and sun-drenched enclosed patios, and you'll see comfortable seating where people like to gather, plenty of shaded outdoor spaces, and views of treetops and the Rocky Mountains, which make it feel open, connected, and bright even when indoors. The community has easy parking, a modern design, common rooms with fireplaces, game tables, and cozy computer stations, and residents can bring along cats or dogs, with staff able to help care for them.
Inside, HighPointe offers a spacious fitness center with proper exercise equipment including NuStep recumbent cross trainers, restaurant-style dining guided by a professional chef, and lovely private dining rooms for special meals or guests, plus room service and options for special dietary needs. Meals and activities draw high praise from residents, and the facility's rotating menus and community dining room often see folks chatting over breakfast, lunch, and dinner. HighPointe's programs include things like art classes, brain fitness, stretching, Tai Chi, yoga, community service, educational lectures, guest speakers, and group outings, plus a theater for movie nights and community life options, all led by a full-time activity director who tailors events for seniors, especially those experiencing memory loss.
Care routines are handled by professional, gentle aides and nurses who are present around the clock; they're trained for behavioral care and can support residents with anything from medication management and diabetes care to help with dressing, bathing, or mobility using lifts for transfers when needed. The memory care area is in its own building and designed so residents with memory impairments feel calm and safe, with floors and layouts that help reduce confusion and special safety features to prevent wandering. All staff receive training about dementia and Alzheimer's, which helps them provide reminders for daily grooming, meals, toileting, and activities, adapting as each person's needs change, and with families invited to ask questions or visit often.
Residents can access visiting professionals like nurses, a podiatrist, dentist, physical and occupational therapists, and speech therapy when needed, and can live here even if their needs change over time since the facility offers independent living, adult day care, nursing, rehab, and some home care services. Pets are allowed and common areas indoors and out are set up for everyone's comfort, with Wi-Fi and high-speed internet for easy connection. The community supports many backgrounds and listens to resident feedback to continually improve services, with respectful and person-centered care at every stage. HighPointe Assisted Living & Memory Care, operated by Spectrum Retirement Communities, is regularly licensed and has received awards for dining, activities, and friendliness, aiming to offer a safe, clean, and comfortable home for seniors, whether they need a little help or more specialized memory care as they age.
