Applewood Our House Assisted Living has five small homes in Colorado, each with a welcoming atmosphere and a strong focus on memory care for seniors with Alzheimer's and dementia. There are homes in Arvada, Golden, Lakewood, North Arvada, and South Lakewood, and all of them are Better Business Bureau A+ accredited. The homes are secure and designed specifically for people with memory loss, as each one has trained caregivers on staff 24 hours a day, working in eight-hour shifts to make sure someone is always there to help. There are private rooms and companion rooms, and in the Golden location, for example, the home holds up to 12 residents with 8 private rooms and 2 double rooms within a 4700 square-foot ranch home. Each room has a private bath, so residents can feel more comfortable.
The homes use the term "Our House" to show a sense of community. Every house sits in a neighborhood with old trees, and there are yards, gardens, outdoor sitting areas, and walking paths where residents, families, and even pets can spend time together. Residents can join in with safe outdoor activities such as tending the raised garden beds or just walking in the fresh air. The houses have modern kitchens with cherry cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops. The common areas have hardwood floors, while the bedrooms are carpeted. Open floor plans let residents relax, watch TV, talk with others, or join activities, and meals are planned to be healthy and prepared by chefs.
Applewood Our House puts a big focus on living in place, which means they help residents stay in the same home as their needs change. Staff members respect each resident's own likes, dislikes, and stories, listening to them and getting them involved in the daily routine, whether that's through conversation, outings to local restaurants or parks, or simple, familiar activities. The homes hold a secure, nurturing environment so families can feel better knowing their loved one is safe, and the team works hard to make life feel calm, dignified, and supportive for everyone.
Assisted living services here include help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and managing medicine. There are also programs meant for people with memory care needs, keeping residents engaged with activities and gentle exercise. The staff is known for being genuine and compassionate, always treating everyone with respect. Each home's design and daily life aims to be as close as possible to what most people would simply call "home"-welcoming, peaceful, and adapted for comfort and independence. The homes have earned awards for value and staff friendliness, showing a culture of care through daily heart-to-heart moments with residents. Applewood Our House has served seniors since 2011, and they keep making changes to meet the unique needs of every resident, making it a steady and thoughtful place for seniors who need assisted living and memory care.
