Solange at South Forrest sits in a quiet neighborhood in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, and offers a small community with only nine licensed beds, so the atmosphere feels cozy and familiar and the staff keep a close watch to make sure everyone gets help when needed, something that really makes it easier for people who want to age with comfort and support without getting lost in the crowd. Residents can pick from studio room layouts, and staff design care plans for each person, covering support with daily activities, medication help, and even specialized memory care for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, so family members know their loved ones' needs are met with understanding and care. The staff here get good training and help, and they're always around, so no one's left waiting, and with the small size it's easy to build trusting relationships, for residents and staff alike. People have access to a full range of services, including hospice, respite, and assisted living, along with skilled nursing, plus visits from doctors and nurse practitioners arranged right at the residence, so there's no worry about traveling out for regular care or emergencies. For those who need specific support, Solange accepts medical equipment, provides special diets and diabetic care, and partners with pharmacies and outside services, making complex needs less overwhelming.
Residents can enjoy a pet-friendly setting where dogs and cats are welcome, and there's a secure gate to keep everyone safe, so families can rest easier. There's a spa area where folks can get their hair done or simply relax, a bright beauty salon, and barber shop, and there's a ballroom, too, for gatherings and activities-these kinds of spaces are not always found in smaller places, but here they're included. Those who love the outdoors can walk on landscaped paths, tend raised garden beds, or watch butterflies and hummingbirds in dedicated gardens, while the enclosed courtyard and back porch offer a quiet spot to read or enjoy some sun. Solange offers a media center, computer area, library, TV lounge, and a movie room, and they make room for hobbies with an arts and crafts center and a woodworking shop, so there's always a chance to pick up projects new or old.
Meals come home-cooked, with choices to eat in common dining rooms, a private space, or at the café or bistro, and there's always a warm, familiar feel because folks eat together and staff try their best to make every meal fit residents' needs and preferences, including those with special diets. For each day, there's a busy activities program with social events, educational sessions, physical fitness, spiritual gatherings, and crafts, plus both on-site and off-site entertainment, so there's rarely a dull moment unless someone just wants to relax. There are both indoor and outdoor common areas, an open ballroom, fitness center, and regular devotional services, so people can stay active and make their days meaningful.
Memory care here comes with dedicated staff and specially designed spaces, and services start at set rates, but the facility hasn't shared current prices for assisted living or detailed information about its rates, so families will have to ask for specifics as these can change based on needs and room choice. Residents who need parking can find it uncovered, and transportation is complimentary for outings or appointments, adding extra ease for those who might not drive anymore. The whole facility has wheelchair-accessible showers, grab bars, and polished hardwood floors, letting people move safely and with a homelike feel, and every room and hallway has lots of natural light, which keeps the space bright and cheerful. Solange at South Forrest keeps things clean, offers a welcoming home, and focuses mainly on giving seniors independence, community, and attention in a safe, comfortable setting. Only two units are available at a time, which usually means spots can fill up quickly, but this also means every resident gets noticed and no one has to worry about being overlooked.
