Spring Ridge Park Assisted Living sits on a quiet street at 5361 West 26th Ave in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, and the one-story, fully renovated building has a bed-and-breakfast feel, surrounded by more than two acres of lawns, flower gardens, and big old trees. The place is home-like, with 31 beds, and only serves people with memory issues like Alzheimer's or dementia-it's a licensed campus focused on memory care, with a team that includes a Caregiver/Activity Director, Resident Services Director, Executive Director, and Medtech, plus 24-hour awake staff, nurses, and LPNs right there on-site. The rooms are private, tastefully decorated, and you can bring your own touches, and all bathrooms are easy to use for folks with mobility problems. Housekeeping, maintenance, washers and dryers, plus cable TV and WiFi are available, and residents can keep cats and dogs.
Safety's a big deal here, with secure buildings, technology to help protect folks who wander, alarms on doors, and plenty of handicap-friendly features throughout the property. The campus has a dining room, community areas like a fireplace living room, activity rooms, indoor and outdoor gathering spots, space for gardening, and a fitness center. Residents get homemade meals and snacks throughout the day, special diets for needs like low salt or sugar, and can choose room service or eat anytime in the dining area. Social events, arts and crafts, stretching classes, yoga, brain fitness, education and wellness programs, gardening, trips, and even intergenerational programs fill the calendar, thanks to a full-time activity director.
Spring Ridge Park uses a person-centered care approach, focusing on dignity, privacy, and independence, and cares for adults even with major behavioral or physical needs, including those who can't move well, deal with incontinence, diabetes, or who might try to leave without telling staff. Specialized programs like the Character First program and a Biblical principles-based approach shape the culture, with the goal to honor each person's life and support wellness as they age. Community engagement lets families give feedback, and they offer structured move-in policies, waiting lists, and a free online "connect" option for first meetings or assessments-you can also schedule a tour or virtual visit to look around.
The facility serves as both an assisted living and independent setting and offers memory care, nursing, and hospice services, aiming to help folks age in place so they don't have to move if care needs go up. Staff have Alzheimer's Association training, and the team includes professionals like podiatrists, dentists, physical and occupational therapists, and regular visiting therapists. Medical help covers medication support, wound care, dressing, personal care, laundry, bathing, toileting, and help with behavior. Transportation's available, with rides for appointments and errands. They also run a daytime program from 7 am to 6:30 pm with activities for those with memory issues, and nighttime memory care for families who need help overnight, from 7 pm to 7 am. Residents and families can pay bills online, and the community works with insurance and programs like the Colorado Respite Coalition Family Voucher Program. Staff are described as caring and helpful, often smiling, and want people to keep their personal identity and self-respect. The goal's to create a safe, supportive, and friendly place to live for people with memory concerns.
