Lakewood Memory Care - Lakewood, CO

Now that my Mom is settled into Lakewood Memory, things are going very well. She seems to have become comfortable with her surroundings. We are very pleased with the way things are going and are happy with her care. The staff is interacting with her well. Right after she moved in, she fell out of bed and had to go to the hospital, so we were a little worried but since then it’s been really good and I don’t have any complaints at all. The facility seems to be kept very clean. The nice thing about this place is that, when we first walked in, it didn’t feel like a nursing home. The room seems clean and they do her laundry once a week. With the experience we’ve had, I would recommend them.

Dad has lived at Lakewood Memory Care going on his seventh month now. We have been very pleased with his care. The staff is always friendly, helpful and willing to go out of their way to help the residents.

My father had lived in Green Mountain Brookdale for several years. They increased their rates by an incredible amount. There was no way we could afford to keep him in that facility. The rate increases were incredible. For example, they were charging over a $1,000 a month for a mechanical soft diet. I toured a few facilities and I called a Place for Mom. I received many good referrals. I had already toured Lakewood Memory Care and it popped up on a referral. I am very impressed with this place. Every single person who works there has introduced me, letting me know their name. The room is larger than the previous facility. The hallways are wider. The facility is cleaner. This place is made exclusively for people with memory problems. The one area that needs improvement is their activities. I will say Brookdale Green Mountain had an excellent activity director. I am not sure what is going on with the activity director at Lakewood, as I haven't seen her for awhile. Lakewood still had fun activities planned, for instance a "senior prom." My father has experienced some health problems which is not the fault of either facility. He is now in hospice care.
