The Village of Bear Creek sits at 3151 South Wadsworth Boulevard in Lakewood, Colorado, where you'd find three small, welcoming buildings among tall pine trees, lots of flowers, and thick green grass, making everything feel a little like home, and the campus itself has shaded walkways and serene courtyards that wind through the memory care neighborhood so residents can get outside and enjoy some fresh air; the courtyard's got a walking path surrounded by raised flower beds and there's even spots to just sit, watch birds, or chat under the trees, so folks can enjoy the natural look the grounds keep up, and they do their best to keep it peaceful and calm, you know, for everybody living there. The place offers a mix of independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home, and continuing care retirement services, so they try to meet people where they're at, and residents can get support from professional caregivers around the clock, whether that means help with dressing, grooming, taking medicine, or just getting around to meals and activities, and there's nurses and other medical staff part-time, plus they bring in physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and even dentists. Apartments come in different floor plans, with studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms for assisted living and memory care-sizes range from 300 to 700 square feet, and many have kitchens or kitchenettes, walk-in showers, plus patios or balconies, and there's plenty of storage so you don't have to leave all your things behind, and the rooms in memory care all open onto a big shared common area where people can visit easily.
Each building stays cozy and feels more like a house than a hospital thanks to their boutique size, which means you see the same staff and neighbors every day, and in the memory care wing there's the Revere™ Memory Care program that looks after folks' mental and overall wellness with a mix of brain games, physical exercise, and music. The caregivers make personalized plans for each person, adjusting support as needs change, and there's special programming every day, like arts and crafts, fitness classes, and lots of social events-including happy hours and live music three times a week-plus outings on the community bus almost every day to keep things lively. Meals come restaurant-style with menus planned by chefs using local foods, and folks can eat together, order room service, or have guests over for meals. The onsite amenities include a fitness center, library, salon and barbershop, computer room, spacious lounges, a game room, and even a porch and patio for when the weather's nice; monthly fees cover housekeeping, laundry, and linen service, so families don't have to worry about that, and there's 24-hour emergency help with extra safety from gated access and fall tracking technology.
Residents can join devotional services, use the health library, and participate in wellness and assistive device programs, and there's a long list of services including transportation for shopping and appointments, companion care, hospice, psychiatric and pharmacy help, and even therapy animals for comfort. The community supports all genders, with options for male-only or female-only living, and allows small pets, which makes the place feel more like home, and while the indoor areas are smoke-free, everyone's welcome outside. There's also help for veterans and folks using Medicare, and the team provides free guidance about care and finance, with the average monthly cost sitting around $4,400 and a one-time entry fee in the ballpark of $3,000; check, insurance, and Medicare are all accepted, and they can talk through financial options.
