Bear Creek Assisted & Senior Living offers a unique continuum of care, featuring all levels of senior care (independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing care) under one roof. This is great news for caregivers of seniors with dementia, Alzheimer’s, memory loss, or cognitive decline. A full-service community with all levels of care means your senior loved one can age in place. You don’t need to move from community to community as their needs change. Since seniors with memory loss often struggle with transitions, the ability to age in place is a huge benefit. They can remain at home at Bear Creek throughout their journey, and can move between assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care as needed. Bear Creek even offers in-house physical therapy and injury rehab! This unique ability to provide all levels of care saves seniors and their loved ones a lot of headache and heartache. It also makes Bear Creek the best memory care community in Colorado Springs!
Bear Creek Assisted & Senior Living: Memory Care and Beyond in Colorado Springs
Unfortunately, Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia are progressive, meaning the disease gets worse over time. This means that it’s likely your loved one will need increasing levels of care as they get older. But cognitive decline shouldn’t mean a loss of joy and fulfillment in life! For those in the earlier stages of the disease, assisted living can provide the optimal balance of independence and dignity with safety and responsible healthcare. As your loved one’s needs increase, they can move to Bear Creek’s secure Memory Care unit. They don’t have to lose their friends and the staff members that know and love them. If necessary, skilled nursing care is also available in-house, both short and long-term. All residents of Bear Creek have access to the same amenities and can enjoy our beautiful common areas. There is also a secure outdoor courtyard with wraparound porch especially for Memory Care members.
Our experienced Life Enrichment director creates meaningful activities specifically designed to help those with memory loss. Memory Care residents are also included in group activities and parties, ensuring they don’t miss out on the fun! Rather than being confined to their rooms, Memory Care community members attend lots of fun and engaging activities, including music, art, baking, exercise, and reminiscing. Staff members get to know their residents’ individual likes and dislikes, passions, and needs, and plan activities that everyone will enjoy. Bear Creek’s Life Enrichment team also prioritizes connection, ensuring that there is always a friend or fellow community member around to talk to and spend time with.
Personalized Memory Care: The Apollo Program
Memory Care at Bear Creek follows the Apollo Program, a fresh approach that honors each person as an individual—not just their diagnosis. This program includes several different approaches to memory care, including support and education for families, enrichment and activities, therapies and treatments to improve quality of life, and overall wellness. The Apollo way of life centers around Variety, Vitality, and Victory.
The Variety part of the Apollo Memory Care program gives residents resort-style living that is anything but boring. Vitality means encouraging participants with lots of different activities to choose from each day, as well as companionship. Victory means a wellness plan created specifically for each individual to help them feel successful in life and positive about the future. Learn more about the Apollo Memory Care program here.
