The Homestead At Montrose

The Homestead At Montrose sits in the mountains and offers both independent and assisted living, as well as memory care and skilled nursing for seniors who need different levels of daily help, and though people can choose private apartments in different floorplans, the grounds outside have paved walking paths, raised garden beds, and both open and covered patios where you can sit or walk, which is nice when the weather's good, and residents can take in peaceful mountain views and enjoy the manicured lawns. There's a dining room serving three home-cooked meals each day for assisted living, with snacks and guest meals available, and special diets like those for high blood pressure or diabetes can also be provided, plus chefs prepare the food, and there's an option for independent living residents to add meals to their basic one-meal plan. Housekeeping, laundry, and dry-cleaning come with assisted living and can be added for independent living, and residents can decorate their apartments the way they like. The Homestead At Montrose offers a range of daily activities-music therapy, animal therapy, games, fitness classes, crafts, movie nights, outings, and community events, and if you want religious services or a trip for shopping or to the doctor, staff can set up transportation and help people when needed. Inside you'll find rooms like a library, chapel, movie lounge, game and card area, exercise spaces, and places to sit with friends or family near a fireplace, and outside there are several patios with plenty of space to gather. Nursing staff, with a full-time RN and LPN, are on during business hours plus on-call nights and weekends, and there's a 24-hour call system and round-the-clock supervision; people get their medicines managed, and specialized help is available with bathing, dressing, transfers (even for two-person transfers), oxygen, personal reminders, and insulin, depending on what's needed, along with support for non-ambulatory seniors. Emergency call pendants and an alert system help folks stay safe, and the building is wheelchair accessible. There are beautician and barber services right on-site, with a mobile stylist, a spa, steam or wellness room, and a beauty salon, so you can keep up with hair appointments too. Pets are often welcome, and Wi-Fi is part of the amenities, making it easier to keep in touch. For residents with memory issues like Alzheimer's, there are secure memory care areas to support safety. The Homestead At Montrose is licensed for up to 70 residents by the Colorado Department of Social Services, and respite stays-short-term stays-are available for five days or more if there's room. There's also help managing medical appointments, monitoring vitals and wellness, and extra services like move-in coordination and concierge help. The community supports both people who want to stay independent and those who need more support, offering care plans that focus on keeping as much independence as possible, and there are lots of activities and entertainment for people each day, with regular visits by a chaplain and devotional services for spiritual needs.
