Golden Orchard Living by TrinityCare

Golden Orchard Living by TrinityCare runs smaller homes in Greenwood Village and Wheat Ridge, usually for about 12 to 16 residents, so people tend to get a lot of personal attention there, and the staff gets to know everyone's routines and needs over time, and the low staff turnover helps build a friendly atmosphere because faces don't change much. Services cover assisted living, memory care for people with Alzheimer's and dementia in a secure setting, respite care for short stays, and support for those who want to age in place or need extra help with daily tasks, with individual care plans and round-the-clock help from trained staff. TrinityCare offers a style of care that includes their own programs, with TrinityCare services and a focus on wellness programs, plus a full meal program with three home-cooked meals and snacks every day-Kosher and vegetarian choices are available-and meals come included with the monthly fee, so there's no separate food bill at the end of the month. Rooms are both private and shared, with Wi-Fi, high-speed internet, and wheelchair accessible showers, and the grounds stand out for being big and pleasant, with a gazebo and landscaped yard at Greenwood Village and a large backyard, waterfall, and walking paths at Wheat Ridge, making it nicer to sit outside or take a walk than in other small care homes. There are both indoor and outdoor common areas, activity and fitness centers, and a communal dining room, while emergency call pendants are given to each resident for safety, and safety systems are installed throughout. The community allows small dogs and cats with some restrictions, but doesn't welcome smoking indoors, only outside in designated covered spaces. Scheduled entertainment and activities happen every day, both inside and out, and regular outings are planned, so people have something to do and a chance to meet others. The staff can help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and managing medications, with added support for incontinence, wound care, and diabetic care if families arrange outside home health agencies, and though there's no skilled nursing onsite, skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy can be brought in. The homes stay staffed 24 hours a day and are led by physicians, which has helped reduce emergency calls and hospital visits over time, so families don't have to worry as much about sudden problems. Memory Care houses have secured yards for safety, which is important for people with dementia who might wander. Both men and women can live here, no matter their age, but they do not accept Medicaid. The community works on a month-to-month lease and just needs a 30-day notice to move out, and hospice and palliative care support can be brought in as needed. The place has won awards, like the Best of Senior Living Award and Best of Senior Living All Star Award, because people have found the care to be gentle and the staff helpful, cheerful, and kind. They focus on making things safe and comfortable rather than fancy, with care models named and tailored by TrinityCare, which they describe in their own way, and try to help people stay independent as much as they can, while stepping in with more help when needed.
