Residence At Oakridge sits in Fort Collins, Colorado, as part of the Flourish Supportive Living network, which covers several other communities like The Village Assisted Living, Penny Lane Assisted Living Residence, Wadsworth House, Maplewood House, Newport, Floyd, Elizabeth House, Emporia House, and Steele House, with locations in places like Denver, Lakewood, Colorado Springs, Littleton, Centennial, and Arvada. This supportive living community has room for 68 residents and provides both private and semi-private suites with climate control, private bathrooms, kitchenettes, spacious closets, and furnished living spaces. Residents choose from studio, one-bedroom, semi-private, or two-bedroom rooms, all with cable TV, telephones, and Wi-Fi. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services are available, though the cleaning's not daily. Residents find climate-controlled rooms and emergency alert systems throughout, making things a bit safer and more comfortable.
Assisted living, memory care, respite care, and hospice care services are offered, with a nursing team available 12-16 hours each day and staff on-site 24 hours for supervision and emergencies. Medication management, help with bathing, eating, dressing, transfers, and activities of daily living are all part of the support here, and there's extra help for managing insulin doses, two-person transfers, and ongoing needs depending on one's care plan, which staff re-assess every six months. Meals are cooked daily by staff and can be adjusted for special diets, including diabetes and high blood pressure, prepared restaurant-style and focused on vitamins and nutrition.
The grounds stay pretty well kept, with gardens and walking paths, and there are outdoor areas and common rooms for residents to relax or take part in scheduled activities, community-sponsored movie and music programs, reading rooms, a library, and social events. Social, educational, and recreational activities fill the calendar, and residents can join fitness classes, play games in the game room, enjoy movie nights, or get together for arts and creative programs. A computer center and business room are available, along with a spa area that has a steam room and hot tub. The beauty salon and barber shop on-site, along with concierge and move-in help, make settling in easier.
Transportation is arranged by the community both for outings and non-medical appointments, and scheduled trips can help residents get to doctor's appointments, errands, or faith-based services. The community allows pets, so folks can bring animal companions along. Residents have access to clinics staffed by physicians, psychiatrists, and psychoanalysts if they need counseling. Poudre Valley Hospital is nearby and has a good Medicare review score. Help with paperwork and community services, like family support and meal planning, keep things organized for the residents and their families.
The atmosphere here tries to support dignity and independence, with staff trained to assist each person as needed, while encouraging everyone to live as actively and socially as possible, building friendships through shared meals and daily activities. Medicaid, private pay, veteran's benefits, social security, and insurance are all accepted payment options, with fees based on type and level of need. The Residence At Oakridge accepts short-term stays for respite care, serves as a retirement and assisted living community, and is connected to local medical centers, physicians, and pharmacies to help keep residents healthy and at ease. The focus stays on being helpful, kind, and keeping up a welcoming place where support and comfort go hand in hand, giving seniors choices and a steady schedule to make the most of their days.
