The residence has been thoughtfully designed to provide comfort and engagement for every resident, featuring 107 spacious apartments in a range of layouts from studios to deluxe two-bedroom suites. Each living space offers comfort and privacy, complemented by inviting shared areas such as a lively bistro, dedicated art and music rooms, a theater, a sunroom, walking paths, patios, and covered porches for outdoor relaxation.
Dining is an integral part of life at Applewood Place Assisted Living, with an Elevated Dining Experience curated by Executive Chefs who make every meal a special occasion. The all-day menu is crafted largely from scratch, utilizing seasonal, high-quality, and often locally sourced ingredients, including produce from resident gardens. Residents enjoy contemporary cuisine, a variety of comfort foods, and daily or weekly specials alongside à la carte items, all designed to adapt to individual nutritional needs and preferences, whether low sodium, sugar free, vegetarian, gluten free, or other modifications. The dining experience is further enhanced with a full bar and multiple venues to foster camaraderie and the joys of sharing meals together.
Each assisted living resident benefits from a Personalized Service Plan developed around their unique needs. The community provides 24/7 care management, medication management, access to licensed nursing staff, and connections to third-party service providers, promoting health and wellness while respecting personal autonomy. The residence is in close proximity to essential medical facilities, including the Centura St. Anthony Hospital, ensuring that healthcare needs are easily met.
Memory care at Applewood Place Assisted Living is provided within the dedicated Reflections Neighborhood, which consists of two distinct, intimate “small house” buildings. Each resident enjoys a private suite and access to well-appointed common areas, including dining spaces and living rooms designed to foster a sense of connection and independence. Residents benefit from the signature Lavender Sky program, an approach that emphasizes meeting residents where they are on their memory journey, offering unwavering support, and fostering new possibilities and joy. Memory care programming incorporates Montessori-based therapies and a robust calendar of purposeful activities, including music, arts and crafts, physical exercise, and special events, ensuring there are always meaningful opportunities to engage, calm, or stimulate.
The enclosed gardens and front porches of the Reflections Neighborhoods offer safe and pleasant outdoor spaces for relaxation and enjoyment of Colorado’s natural beauty.
