I've worked in a…read morehospital setting for a long time and I know how difficult it can be to provide loving care to this unique population. Balfour, at every turn, went above and beyond for our family member. She lived there for 2 1/2 years, spending the last year in memory care. All of the staff, top to bottom, are loving and kind. The clinical care is top notch. And at the end, the nurses became family to all of us. Balfour is a community, residents have friends and some even bring their dogs. It's a vibrant community and a gorgeous facility. You can't go wrong.

When it came time to bring hospice in, the helped coordinate that service, and again, worked together with the hospice staff to provide compassionate, caring services the entire time Mom was there. The staff showed warmth and the utmost respect for both our family, and our Mother. We felt she was safe and in the best hands possible to make sure she got everything she needed. Thank you to all involved.

They treated my grandmother like dirt if she had any opinion about anything. I heard that the Director, Katie scolded and elderly man because he pushed the emergency button a lot because he kept on hitting the button by accident. The Director!!! Nita was the worst!!! Elder abuse to put it mildly. Don't give the time to take care of the residents who pay TOP DOLLAR to be there. and when they have to, they rush the residents who are sometimes unable to move as quickly as they expect them to do. One lady got knocked to the ground because the elevator door shuts so quickly. They couldn't find her for 20 minutes... even when she hit her emergency button. A lot of these people don't care about the residents. These people should listen to the residents in the dining room. They have a lot to say to each other, but are too scared to say anything to the staff.

After almost 5 years at Atria Longmont, mom just had to move to a Medicaid approved skilled nursing…read morehome. A very sad day. Mom moved into Atria in 2021 under their assisted living program as she was suffering from mild dementia and memory loss. When the symptoms worsened significantly she moved to the memory care area. Her entire stay at Atria was a positive experience. The building feels more residential than facility, with lots of places to spend time, whether chatting in the living room, working out the gym or reading or playing games in the library. The memory care area is smaller and more intimate but still retains the same home like quality. The staff took excellent care of her and put me at ease, knowing she was safe and loved. Yes, loved. Her caregivers treated her with respect and affection and kept me up to date on everything from her running low on shampoo to her moods to the activities they convinced her to participate in. On moving out day mom wasn't really aware of what was happening but I sure was, and I cried and cried, and hugged all our wonderful support team. A terrible situation made positive by everyone at Atria.

We toured the Beatrice Hover community in Longmont with my mother and found the environment very…read morecomfortable and the staff to be extremely loving, with a caring and service oriented attitude. We chose to be placed on the waiting list because of its affordability when compared to other senior living care offerings in the community. Being that Hover is a CCRC (Continuing Care Retirement Community) it was very important to us that care could be given through any stage of life or physical need without leaving the campus. The elders I encountered in the Independent Living and Assisted Living buildings were not shy about sharing their pride and how they had individualized their living environments and it was wonderful to see them so happy. I also met several residents in the Hover Green Houses, Skilled Nursing, and so pleased to see the homes are run as an elder-in-charge community with meaningful relationships being developed and nurtured. The houses are beautiful homes and give elders the opportunity to participate in daily tasks like cooking and be involved playing games or having fun with crafts. The Hover Green House skilled nursing is so nice I want to live there! I can't recommend the Beatrice community highly enough!

Alta Vita was mom's first experience with life in memory care. She's now in a different state in…read moreher fifth care home and I find myself wanting to provide some info for those in the stage I was in 2 years ago. Things could be different now but here was our experience: the food being mushy and bland (dad tried it) and that they always served dessert with dinner was happening then. We never experienced the nightmares of the Dec. 2024 review. Dad would visit twice a week and the visits were pleasant. In fact, of the five memory care homes mom has lived in, Alta Vita had the best activity schedule. She was able to tell me in those days that highlights were going to a restaurant on a field trip, being acknowledged at an oldies singalong, getting a temporary flower tattoo on her arm. Apparently mom would carry her activity card around with her everywhere, proud to always get to "class' on time. The care was not so great. Dad once arrived for a visit and found her down on the bathroom floor, and did not know for how long she had been there. She went in with a rash under her breast and it was worse when she left 4 months later. Other care homes have been able to manage the rash. I arrived to help her pack and bring her to my state - and found her cowering on the bed, afraid of who was coming in because two men - also residents of memory care - liked to each come in and stare. It happened while I was there helping her pack. There were brown stains on the bed sheet on her bed. I asked the staff to leave the laundry for me and everything was soaked with urine. She got Covid while she was there and was out and about mingling with people with no mask because it was too hard for the caregivers to manage. The only reason they even checked her for Covid was at my insistence when on the phone she was speaking in word salad, coughing a lot, and the caregiver who helped with the phone mentioned to me that someone in a different "neighborhood" had Covid. Finding good memory care is really difficult. Some of it has to do with the match between the stage your loved one is at and the understanding of the care staff. I would say Alta Vita is OK for mild stage of dementia, and might be great for assisted living. I would not be able to recommend it for the later stages unless the care standards have changed considerably. Also if you choose Alta Vita and need to later move your loved one, make sure to be present and help take charge in the assessment process of the new care home. That process did not go smoothly for us and created friction in the move.

When visiting, be prepared for 3 staff members to stand 8 feet away the entire visit, their eyes glued to you while they eavesdrop on your conversation. Be prepared for the administration to ignore needs for a soft diet, shoes, teeth, hearing aids, and glasses. Your relative may have to wear clothing from the Lost and Found. Your relative might be allowed to go without shoes, then fall and break several ribs. Your relative might be allowed to chew on anything, including plastic. You may be trespassed from this facility if you raise questions about your relative's care. You won't feel welcome while you're there. Just imagine how your relative will feel.

I will miss my friends, but I will not miss the staff. They told me to leave if I don't like, I made too many complaints about the front door not locking and finding homeless people sleeping in the bathroom. After we complained about the assistant manager being rude to me and my family. After his wife told us to "F ourselves" and they let their dogs poo in the hallways, they literally wait for them to finish then will pick it up, sometimes. The assist manager is a good liar, he used to be better when Adam was here but no one can control him anymore. He says "good luck reporting me, reach out to the president directly, I hear they respond quickly" then him and his wife walk away laughing. I cried. He's made me cry several times, and ask my son, I'm not a crier. The assist manager has locked the bathrooms in the hallways out of spite. The turn around of staff is because of him, look on Indeed and learn what it's like to work here, then tell me you want to put someone you live in this kind of environment. Stay out of here. I'm moving out, I just can't find a place cheap enough so we're working on trying to find cosigners and loans. Please, I care about you, don't move in here.

The Longmont Regent is a home for the folks who live there and they can choose what they wish to take part in (or not).
