Like other reviews mention - HighPointe is a beautiful community. We toured over twenty memory care…read morecommunities for our loved one. This review is based off of the tour of memory care and not assisted living. The sales lady was fairly new to HighPointe. We had a pretty good meeting in a common area by the main entry. I explained my relative was diagnosed in 2011 with Alzheimer's related dementia but was (and still is) in great health otherwise. She explained they have 5 levels of care (the most number of care levels out of any place we toured). The top level being $2500.00 a month in addition to the monthly room/board rate. She said based off of what I told her - my relative would probably need HighPointe's top care level at $2500.00 a month? I thought - what? Number one - you're not a nurse and number two - you haven't even done an assessment?? Finally got to tour memory care. So you have to have someone access the 3rd floor via the elevators both going to and leaving memory care - they will not give family members the code (another story related to that later). Memory care is very nice - entire floor U shaped with central dining and activity areas and a nice outdoor patio. The sales lady did not acknowledge any care givers or residents by name. There are only 4 care givers for 30 residents (a low ratio of care givers). The smallest studios are TINY - maybe 180 sq feet. It was depressing to look at. Yes they have larger studios/rooms but the $ amount per month goes up per square footage. Note to HighPointe family - when building additional new communities - design all memory care suites the same size . Your five room choice pricing with additional five care level of pricing is ridiculous. Have your architect spend a week in a memory care community. I inquired with sales lady L - so how do four care givers know what level of care all 30 residents are needing and paying for? Her reply was "they just do". Really? Care givers don't get paid much no matter where they work - so do they honestly know that Bob is a 3, Pat is a 5, Larry is a 1, etc etc? Ok so doing the math - a mid size studio along with level 5 care (which sales person said my relative would need) would put us at over $7000 a month? So we found a community within a mile of HighPointe; -has all inclusive pricing - no care levels and under $6k a month. -all rooms are exact same size in memory care -there are 4 care givers for twenty residents (much better ratio) Recently met the daughter of a resident who said she did her "due diligence " and had selected HighPointe for her mom who probably is at stage 6 with Alzheimer's. She said her mom became so severely dehydrated due to lack of care at HighPointe that she ended up in the hospital for over a week. She moved her to where we are and is so much happier with the care. Met a Director of Nursing for another community who said he had to do an assessment of a HighPointe resident for his community and he had to wait 15 minutes for elevator access to leave the memory care secured area. HighPointe you are a beautiful community but as previous reviews on Yelp and other websites point out - your memory care structure and set up needs some help. When I visited - three of your four care givers were just standing (one was seated) around. I thought to myself "where are the 25 residents and what are they doing".

The facility is poorly maintained and does not appear to be cleaned to an acceptable standard. I…read moreobserved a housekeeper spend approximately 15 minutes vacuuming a single 8x10 rug before leaving the unit, and that seemed to constitute the entire week's cleaning. The sink was so dirty that insects were living in the drain, and the bathrooms appeared to receive little to no regular cleaning. The food is heavily processed and offers very little nutritional value. One typical lunch consisted of a few tablespoons of a mayonnaise-and-dried-cranberry mixture served on institutional wheat bread with processed turkey and processed cheese, along with a side of boiled macaroni mixed with even more mayonnaise. The receptionist at the front desk rarely acknowledged visitors, often remaining focused on her phone except when conversing with a male staff member. The quality of care was inconsistent. While a few staff members were attentive and helpful, many others appeared negligent, resulting in an overall experience that felt disorganized and unreliable.

You know our beloved older family members living in a retirement home like Springbrooke have very little to look forward to, yet the one thing they have to look forward to is good food. At Springbrooke they are failing miserably at this, the soup I had was absolutely bland, had no seasoning and was cold, and I mean cold, not even warm. My Chicken was severly overcooked, flavorless, un seasoned and literally so dry I dont think there is enough sauce in Denver to help it. The vegetables were un seasoned, they obviously came out of a frozen bag, and were cooked to the point of being MUSH. My aunt said this was par for the course and told me that breakfast is even worse. Our server, an Ethiopian lady who was at least pleasant, when I complained about how dry and horrible my chicken was explained to me "That is how our chef cooks the chicken here, that is how our residents like it" and did nothing to even offer me something else or to replace it with a better piece of chicken. * My Aunt told me that they are now on the 3rd or 4th Chef since she has been there in only 2.5 years, she said when she moved in the food was average, then she explained the food was absolutely wonderful for around 6-9 months when they hired a great chef, but then that Chef quit and the new chef is absolutely horrendous. I hope someone in a position of power reads this and can talk to the chef. My Aunt likely does not have long left on earth, and we want her to get the most enjoyment she can in the time she has left, and the poor quality of food, the dirty living conditions, and the lackluster and poorly trained dining staff are not going to achieve that....

Everyone commented on how fantastic the food was - even better than most of the highly rated restaurants close by for a fraction of the price. I would not hesitate to to move my own parents here.

The Pharmacy Phiasco is what I call this. Critical medications were allowed to run out when…read moreassumptions were made by the care staff. I have been threatened before by a caregiver refusing to reorder medication because she wanted me to do something she had no right to ask of me. That medication has now never been ordered for a month. The latest is much more serious. Medications were allowed to run out over several days that if not given could result in brain damage. I'm still waiting for medication...well I'm away from the facility and in hospital. Will they throw my mess and clothes away? We'll see, but I doubt they'd loose much sleep at night if they did.

Unless you have time to waste, don't bother with this place. I started looking for a memory care…read morefacility for my sister in California over a year ago. From the beginning, this facility kept contacting me every couple of months, asking if I had made a decision and pushing for my business. When I was finally ready to move my sister, I met again with the coordinator, who assured me there would be no problems. We did the assessment over FaceTime, and that's where the red flags started. The nurse seemed fixated on the fact that my sister doesn't like to take showers--something that is extremely common with Alzheimer's patients--yet showed no real concern for her actual care needs. At that time, my sister wasn't on a medication schedule, which I explained, but instead of asking important questions, the nurse didn't even bother to meet my sister until I pushed for it. When she finally did, she spoke to her for a few seconds and abruptly ended the call. A few days later, the facility contacted me to say my sister wasn't a "good fit" because of her hygiene. That told me everything I needed to know. If a so-called memory care facility doesn't even understand that hygiene challenges are a direct symptom of dementia, they are not equipped to care for Alzheimer's patients--period. Their lack of basic knowledge and dismissive attitude made it clear they had no idea what they were doing.

Some staff are Spanish-speaking only, so I could not understand what they were saying to her. Clients were taken to the mall to shop, but the nonverbal group mostly just sat around the game area with no interaction except an occasional push in the wheelchair around in circles. Lunch was purchased on your own or brought in, except no provisions were made for a client on a pureed diet. Clients were seen with urine-soaked pants.

When I look at the reviews on this page, I would say these WERE accurate, however, they have new leadership and subsequently, the service has significantly declined. - Staff are leaving left and right. Outside of front desk staff, you'd be hard pressed to find more than a handful of staff who have been there longer than 2 years. And honestly, the reason most of the residents haven't left is because it's just so hard of an adjustment moving elders. But many families and residents have shared their concerns in whispered conversations. - Leaks throughout the building but mostly on the second floor, which have resulted in mold and leaks to the first floor multipurpose room. - A whirlpool that is a selling point but has hardly, if ever worked. - Ignored emails or calls from concerned families. Or responses from leadership that are brash. - Someone else already mentioned in their review the front desk staff who don't acknowledge/speak to people -- that's guests and residents alike (why would onsite leadership be okay with that?). - All of this while prices have consistently been increasing. The final straw was Garden Plaza recently came under new ownership -- Life Care Centers of America. Name sounds familiar? Maybe because they were ground zero for elder deaths at the beginning of COVID. A five second Google search will tell you everything else you need to know. Here are the most notable legal actions against the company: 1. Medicare & TRICARE Fraud ($145 Million Settlement with Dept. of Justice where concerned employees were the initial whistleblowers) - Oct. 2016 2. Wage and Overtime Class Actions -- 2015-2020 3. Patient Abuse and Neglect Verdicts -- 2022 & 2024 4. Employment Discrimination -- 2024-2025 & active investigations in 2026 Garden Plaza is the Independent Living side and The Bridge at Garden Plaza is the Assisted Living side. Now most of these lawsuits are related to skilled nursing (aka assisted living or rehab), but the point still remains that this is who now OWNS Garden Plaza, coupled with lackluster onsite leadership.
