Triangle Cross Ranch

Triangle Cross Ranch sits out in Galeton, Colorado, on a ranch where folks live in one-bedroom, semi-private units, and they get the kind of help and care that aims to keep them as independent as possible, with staff on hand at all hours, and daily routines include help with meals, bathing, medication, and all the things people do to keep up with life. The place has room for up to 24 residents and right now about nine live there, with ages anywhere from twenty-four up to seventy-one, sometimes folks come for long-term stays and sometimes for respite care, especially adults with cognitive disabilities like developmental delays, Down's Syndrome, traumatic brain injuries, or early onset dementia. The ranch has roots going back to 1981, when a local family donated the land after needing a place for their own loved one, and now the place brings people together under a whole-life, Christ-centered mission that focuses on acceptance, security, and self-esteem. Folks who live here do chores like loading dishwashers, feeding animals, setting tables, and can volunteer down at a veterinary clinic run by a staff member, because nobody just sits around unless they want to and there's always something going on, whether it's arts and crafts, Bible study, walking, gardening, horse care, Special Olympics, outings around the area, movie nights, or just reading in the small library or spending time outside in the garden. Triangle Cross Ranch offers hands-on programs with horses and livestock-equine-assisted activities, horseback riding, and even veterinary services right there on the ranch, so people are up and moving and learning, and not just watching life go by. The place is fully furnished, with options for private or shared rooms, cable TV, Wi-Fi, telephones, kitchenettes, private bathrooms, air-conditioning, and all the regular stuff like laundry, housekeeping, and meals tailored for special diets when needed, and the staff helps with move-in so settling in feels easier for everyone. Residents can go out for community activities within fifty miles, and regular transportation is set up for medical appointments or group outings. The ranch helps people with independence skills, supported by on-site staff, and ranch-style life includes routines with animals, gardening, work experiences, and always a steady hand nearby. The ranch aims to give adults with special needs a safe, accepting home where they live, learn, volunteer, and build community in a regular rhythm of daily life.
