I observe how he and their other residents are treated. I find the atmosphere to be kind, caring, and upbeat. They plan fun activities for their residents to bring joy to their days.

My grandmother has lived here for four years. Garden Plaza has done a pretty good job taking care…read moreof her. In assisted living they have the potential to transfer to the on-site doctor. This is such a huge benefit, as I no longer have to leave work to take her to her constant appointments. She is quite forgetful, yet the activities that they arrange definitely have a positive impact on her quality of life. There is some room for improvement. 1. They do not have a commissary system, which means I have to make sure she has cash/checks. This is a nightmare - people of this age are forgetful at a minimum, and I know some other facilities do have commissary systems, where items are charged to their rooms. This is a no brainer. 2. The hairdresser has only accepts cash/checks- again very difficult for older forgetful people to manage money. 2. They do not have a small 'general store" on site, yet this would be such a big relief and just make sense for small things like chapstick, toilet paper, and so forth. Garden Plaza maintains the expectation that a family member will still come and manage all of these things. My hope is that we make some progress on these issues in the future. In spite of these issues I am still happy that she is there.

My grandmother was a patient here and received terrible care. They would not help her move from her…read morewheel chair to her bed or recliner. She was always sitting with her head hanging down in an unnatural position in the wheelchair. I walked in once and thought she was dead due to the position they left her sitting in. They were too lazy to walk with her, because at 97 she was slow and just pushed her around in the chair all the time. Her health declined so much the year she spent here. She stopped walking, her legs were always swollen because they didn't help her into the bed or recliner to elevate them. The food was terrible. The staff was mean and snappy with her. They wouldn't let her pick her own clothes out or any of the small things that would matter to an elderly person in nursing care. Since, she has left this place she has already improved. I was pleased to walk in on her sitting comfortably on a recliner with her legs much less swollen in her new facility. These people have no business working with the elderly.

My company took an oxygen monitor to one of the residence at Cherry Creek Retirement Village. The…read moreresident took the overnight test and entrusted the monitor to the front desk receptionist, Kathy. Kathy in turn gave the oxygen monitor to another person not from my company. As far as she knows it was a total stranger. This monitor is worth $750.00. Not to mention that the resident who is 95 years old took a test on this monitor. This poor resident is beside herself with worry about this monitor missing. I contacted Kathy at the front desk and she replied that they are not responsible for their residence. She was very, very rude to the point of obnoxious on the phone. Her conduct is not someone who I would want representing my company. She should be fired for her conduct both in the handling of the oxygen monitor and her dealing with our company.

We really…read moreliked the small community, the Executive Director was always present, no pressure atmosphere and my families questions were always answered. After mom being at Chelsea place for a few months now, she is content, loved and her quality of life has improved. My mom has gained weight, eating better every day and participating more and more in activities. What you will find at Chelsea Place is a small town community vibe, care givers are caring, staff is very involved in every day care. The caregivers are knowledgeable as to the patient's needs, regular updates are given to the family regarding how mom is doing, family is welcomed in all activities. The most amazing thing that I have observed is how staff sit and really engage with each person, by coloring or doing puzzles, grooming and just hanging out to provide companionship..this is what makes my heart relax. If you need memory care for your loved one, please check out Chelsea Place, I have no doubt you will see what I see upon arrival and if you decide this is the place for your loved one to live, in a very short time your heart will be at ease too.

It is apparent that the leadership truly cares about protecting, engaging and loving our residents--and taking care of our team members. Expectations of our staff are high and people are held accountable for providing consistent care and service to our residents. At the heart of this place is a real sense of family--our residents' family members are here all the time visiting their loved ones and supporting each other. When a resident transitioned recently, dozens of family members attended her funeral to support her family. Our building is filled with volunteers from 3rd graders to high school seniors to college students and older adults. It is a vibrant place full of family, friends, music and kindness. I feel good every day about helping families through the process of moving a loved one into our care.

She had been in Assisted…read moreLiving for 3 years, memory was severely declining, was staying in her room, (wanted to be) isolated, just wore a robe, never got dressed ... Well, at HighPointe - that's all changed! She's out of her room, eating meals, involved in events, socially engaged -- she's pushing herself down the halls in her wheelchair ... her lifestyle has dramatically IMproved at HighPointe. Why? the staff and their procedures were the difference. They used patience, encouragement, found out what motivates her to get up, get dressed, get out, etc. We are very, very pleased with HighPointe - the facility, the care, the food - it is a great place. Highly recommended.
