Juniper Village at Aurora sits in Aurora, Colorado and offers senior living options with a strong focus on memory care for people with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, and you'll also find assisted living and independent living services here, so folks can find the help that suits them best, and the single-story, purpose-built building is wheelchair accessible and has safety features like secured doors and alarm bracelets for anyone who may try to wander, making things safe for those who might forget where they are or get lost easily, and the Wellspring Memory Care program is award-winning for providing care that's based on science, filled with music, art, and creative activities that help spark old memories while keeping people active and connected, and this keeps the days interesting for residents who might need extra help connecting with their past or managing daily things.
Pets like dogs and cats are welcome, and staff help residents take care of them, so folks don't have to give up their beloved animals, and the campus has safe, enclosed outdoor spaces where people can walk, visit, or join a garden club, because being outside lifts spirits, and while the cottages and living spaces are smaller to feel homelike and cozy, there's plenty of chance to make friends and find quiet spots if needed. Nurses are on staff, and doctors are available when needed, and the staff includes medication managers and specialists like visiting dentists and therapists, making it easier to get help with regular health care, giving insulin or injections, managing blood sugar, and helping with hygiene and mobility, and the staff can help people who may have challenging or difficult behaviors, including those who might be physically aggressive or wander frequently, so families don't have to worry as much about safety.
You'll see amenities like an onsite beautician, Wi-Fi, fitness and recreation rooms, and comfortable dining areas where chefs and meal planners serve nutritious meals, with special options for dietary needs like gluten-free, low sodium, vegan, and low sugar, making every mealtime feel like a restaurant visit with room for family guests, and there's a big mix of activities from yoga and stretching to karaoke, brain fitness, gardening, live shows, and pet-focused programs, led by a full-time activity director who keeps things fresh, so there's a strong sense of community if you want it, and help is always available 24 hours a day for those who need it. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services are provided, and emergency response systems are in place for extra peace of mind, and with options for different levels of care-including light, moderate, or heavy assistance for daily needs-people can stay at Juniper Village at Aurora as those needs change, all while being able to age boldly and live out their third act to the fullest.
Transportation is available at an extra cost and the campus is accessible to buses, so it's easy enough for outings or trips to appointments, respite care is available for short-term stays, and hospice services are provided if needed, and they even offer caregiver support and education, so families feel like they're part of the care too, and you'll find recognition from awards like Most Friendly in Senior Living and Best of Senior Living, but mostly what stands out is the honest effort to make each resident feel at home and the extra attention given to those living with memory and behavioral challenges.
