My father lived at AltaVita Memory Care Centre for six years. The management and staff took time to get to know him as an individual, and were accommodating to his needs whenever possible. For example, one staff member took him fishing while he was still able, while another took him to get fried chicken right up to the end of his life. Several staff developed a close relationship with him, showing him he was valued as a part of the community. My father was treated with compassion and dignity by all the professionals he encountered. There were times when things went wrong with his care, as can happen. In these instances, management and staff responded quickly to rectify the situation--or brainstormed with me on options to change a certain situation. As a family member, I was kept informed of my fathers care and offered support throughout his experience. While its difficult to admit a parent to memory care, AltaVita Memory Care Centre, and the people who work there, made the decision easier to accept. Although my father didnt take advantage of the myriad activities offered to residents, the staff and volunteers running those activities were outstanding. Perhaps most importantly, AltaVita is privately owned (not a regional or national chain). Its ownership and policies have enabled leadership to retain quality staff for long periods of time. At least 10 staff members were there for the entirety of my fathers stay. As someone with a good understanding of senior care facilities, I know this consistency of care within a memory care community is uncommon and, in this case, was critical to my fathers relative happiness and my peace of mind. Of course every experience and journey with a parent through dementia care is unique, but ours was very positive because of the quality care and attention offered by AltaVita Memory Care Centre.

Alta Vita was created with love to provide the best care possible in a secured home like environment that’s why I choose Alta Vita to work at. Management was very supportive during nursing school, giving me the opportunity to participate supporting programs like Easter seals Colorado. Scheduler manager was constantly adjusting my schedule to help me to succeed in school and still have a pay check to pay my bills (school is not cheap). I also work with a wonderful team of caregivers who work hard to provide the best care possible in a very kind and professional way.

I spoke at length with Adam about nursing home requirements for my mother, as she has dementia and type 1 diabetes. While Alta Vita was not a fit, Adam spoke with me regarding what my best options would be for her and guided me to a facility that could accommodate her needs. He truly helped point me in a great direction and put my mind at ease. Thank you so much Adam

I would like to share my experience with AltaVita. While making the choice to take a loved one to a facility that can better care for them than themselves or even you at that matter is NEVER easy, Adam, Tabitha, and team were wonderful from start to move in to still today! I looked at a few places looking for the best experiences, amenities, and various other items. AltaVita meet or exceeded all our expectations. My father who of course did not want to go at all now 3 weeks in is settling in and is now saying hes happy. Its never easy to be the person giving up control, but the team has made his transition as easy as you could have asked. As he is getting to know all the other residents, he’s becoming more social and it’s great to see. The way the staff interacts with him is AMAZING! I would say because AltaVita is not the cheapest(no way the most expensive so don’t get worried) they pay and treat their staff well as you can tell by how the staff enjoys there job and how they treat the residents. There were places we went where no one was happy and you could tell they employees lived there frustration on the residents. this is not the case here. They all know my dad by his PREFERED name not just his name on a chart, they talk to him EVERY time he walks by, not just hi but oh i see yer son is back, what cha doing today? so they all also know me.... just the things you don’t really expect to see. Its Clean, Bright, well maintained, and has a great layout. The meals are pretty darn good and there is lots of verity. They are also accommodating in that my dad was unhappy with the “standard” breakfast offerings (no he’s not spoiled lol) and the ladies make him 2 eggs sunny side up, 2 sausage and toast most days as that’s what he likes!. THATS cool!!! My father is still at a point where he can remember most things and most interactions. He has not spoken of a single bad interaction, neglect, abuse, under sized portions…. Nothing and he would tell me I’m there every few days. With in the few weeks the entire staff knows me and knows ill be up their behind if ANYTING happens. I saw some people complaining in reviews but I have seen ZERO evidence of ANY of it. As a side note I know a nursing director who is a very close family friend so a trusted person who worked at MANY care facilities before becoming a director(so cool for her!) and this was by far the best place and her own mother in law was in process of going when she passed early. If I see care change you can bet I will update this review! Thanks again Adam and all the staff that treats my dad GREAT!

This place is good u put your application in and the manager gets a hold of u right away

My grandmother is here and we recently had to get the authorities involved because someone reached out and said she was being abused. They looked into it and found many unattended to wounds on multiple people. Staff were seen not wearing masks. My grandmother was also being given only half portions of food for a reason we have yet to figure out. Many rude staff members. Please for the sake of your loved one do not put them here. They will only get neglected if not more. FED UP!! Who the heck does that kind of thing? Lets just hope I never find out who it was.. NOTE THIS IS THE MEMORY CAREUpdate she ended up in the hospital with stitches in her head and many other injuries. They have had legal trouble ranging from BRAIN INJURIES to MISSING PERSONS. Something here is not right. Not even worthy of a star. I dont even know how theyre still open.Fed upP.s keep taking this down and I will keep putting it back up

I have been in and out of many other communities and none have been able to beat AltaVita. The locally and privately owned care moves through the building from management to the caregivers and the families. Every one here loves and cares for the residents as their own. Its such an amazing place to be! Honestly I would love to have my mother or grandmother in a community like this where love is shown daily!

I am constantly amazed by the Family members and our staff connecting with a solid kinship over our beautiful residents. To be a part of their lives (Resident and Families) is a gift to receive. I have been here since the opening, watching the growth, the good times, the difficult times. As an employee I have never worked for such ownership that stretches out their hands to give and care for their employees. They are truly unique. I cannot imagine having blind eyes that dont see the beauty of this community and everyone it involves or embraces. Thank YOU!!! To many more years

The prettiest girl at the dance first off nothing stinky in this place. Smiles and laughter activity and sounds of delight. Seemingly a great place to live! I am a professional peer and Im impressed with this place. Danka!

Great folks taking good care of my dad

AltaVita is a wonderful place to let your loved one be cared for. They have great food and excellent programs for the residents . The staff is outstanding in knowing each resident and taking special care of each resident. I feel very comfortable having my Mom at AltaVita and I know she is cared for properly.

By far the best decision I made for my Mom. They have a team that is second to none. Thank you Alta Vita!

Searching for my quite elderly mother, the hubby and I stopped in on an impromptu visit as someone from anothere facility recommended this place. After we couldnt find anybody to talk to we decided to nose around, since a family let us in. First Impressions were great and then the second half of our nosing around began. Various unplesant Odors and bad patient breaths permeate the place, not too many workers and possibly neglected people? I understand this could possibly have been an usual snapshot that doesnt represent the way things are most times, however we left and have no intention of returning. The facility appeared understaffed and no management was present, we could find in 45 minutes. I dont know if it was someones family member or someone who lives there that approached my husband and I and he said no one should have to live here, Id leave. Chilling experience, absolutely chilling. Well be going further North to Loveland. We dont recommend.

This is the best memory care center. The staff are amazing . The RNs are the best .They comunicate every change. They always look for new and fun ways to provide the best care.
