The Peaks at Old Laramie Trail sits in Lafayette, Colorado, and offers several types of care in one place, including assisted living, independent living, memory care, skilled nursing, and continuing care retirement, so folks can stay even if their needs change over time, which is nice for peace of mind. The community uses unique names like Vibrant Life® for its amenities and special programs, and there's a dedicated memory care neighborhood with trained staff who understand the needs of adults living with Alzheimer's or dementia, providing custom care plans and brain-stimulating activities along with therapy options like snoezelen and reminiscence therapy. The building has a lodge-like, rustic look that brings both a sense of comfort and an upscale mountain lodge feel, and residents can pick from floor plans like Riverside Friendship, Riverwood, Vista, Pinnacle, Hickory, and Riverside Deluxe, with spaces ranging from 285 to 912 square feet, including private or semi-private rooms and private bathrooms.
People can bring pets, use the resident library, enjoy fireplaces in common areas, or relax in the enclosed courtyard. Amenities aim to make life nicer, with a fitness center, arts and crafts room, beauty salon, cafe/bistro, and game room with cable TV. Meals come in restaurant-style, private, or anytime dining, with dishes made from fresh ingredients and meals to fit various diets including low-sugar, gluten-free, vegan, organic, and international choices, plus guest meals if family comes to visit. Housekeeping, laundry-including dry-cleaning-free parking, on-site beautician, and complimentary transportation ease daily chores.
Residents enjoy a full calendar of social, educational, and entertainment events so they can meet people and stay engaged, whether in movie nights at the theater, book time in the library, religious services on-site and off-site, or outdoor activities on garden patios or walking paths. Health services include 24-hour licensed nursing staff, personal care help, emergency call systems, skilled nursing, respite care for short-term needs or trial stays, hospice services, and access to nurse practitioners. There's personal help with daily living for those in assisted living, memory care for those with memory loss, and programming focused on activity and social life to encourage friendships and comfort. The two-story building is fully accessible, even for wheelchairs, with secured spaces for safety, and features like fireplaces, meeting rooms, fitness and arts spaces, plus military veterans have a special program as well. The whole place tries to provide a welcoming, active, and comfortable environment for seniors with varying needs.
