Belleview Suites at DTC is a senior living community in Denver, Colorado, that offers assisted living and memory care for older adults who need different kinds of help as they age, and what's nice is the building has modern fixtures, wood-style plank flooring, and spacious private accommodations like studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, and some units even have private outdoor spaces or kitchenettes, which can make it feel more like home. The facility is purpose-built for memory care, too, so there's a secured building and grounds, alarms on bracelets, and technology to keep residents who might wander safe, so families with loved ones who have Alzheimer's or dementia don't need to worry as much about safety. They have walk-in showers, grab bars, and good lighting, plus different room types if someone wants a private or shared space, and guest parking is onsite for visitors.
The staff is available 24 hours a day, there's a nurse on staff, doctors are on call, and the medical team includes nurse practitioners, so the community can help with everything from medication reminders and transfers for non-ambulatory residents, to managing symptoms and behaviors like agitation or wandering; there's even in-house skilled nursing if someone needs more care or help moving around, including mechanical lifts for transfers. Belleview Suites at DTC lets residents keep a dog or cat, with pet care available, so animal lovers can still enjoy their companions. They also provide weekly housekeeping, personal laundry, and room service if needed, so seniors don't have to worry about chores.
Transportation is available, whether someone needs a scheduled ride or complimentary trips for appointments, and there's parking for residents who still drive. The community offers many activities like Tai Chi, chair yoga, arts and crafts, game nights, book club, gardening group, story time, and even Nintendo Wii bowling, plus a full-time activity director organizes regular entertainment and special programs, especially for those with dementia. Residents can join religious services onsite or offsite and can visit a beauty and barber shop on the property for haircuts.
Meals are provided in the dining room, with some private dining space for special occasions, and the community can serve vegetarian food if you want that. Residents have access to common rooms with TVs, a computer area, gym, spa, convenience store, and outdoor patios and gardens for walking or relaxing. Visiting medical professionals like podiatrists, dentists, and therapists can see residents on site, so seniors don't need to make as many trips for care, which can be a relief.
Care levels range from independent living support, assisted living, and memory care, all the way to respite and skilled nursing, so residents who need more help over time don't have to move out, and there's a high caregiver-to-resident ratio. The property is licensed by the state and designed for senior safety and comfort. Belleview Suites at DTC doesn't shy away from accepting residents with challenging behaviors, including those who are an elopement risk, and the team handles difficult or unusual behaviors with care, so it becomes a home for many kinds of seniors and their changing needs as they age.
