Oakshire Gardens is a medium-sized assisted living community in Pueblo, Colorado, with space for up to 19 residents, and it's built for folks who need a bit of help but still want independence in a home-like setting. The place has choices for living, including studios, one-bedroom apartments, shared rooms, semi-private, and even two-bedroom spaces, so everyone can find something that suits their needs and budget. Oakshire Gardens provides assisted living, memory care for seniors with dementia, respite care to give caregivers a break, and hospice care when needed, and the care adjusts based on individual needs, even supporting Parkinson's disease and folks who may need help moving between bed and wheelchair.
The trained staff stays awake and on-site 24 hours a day to help with emergencies, provide supervision, assist with bathing, dressing, getting around, and offer medication management. There's daily help for hygiene, changing clothes, and support with meals, plus special dietary options for allergies or diabetes, to make sure everyone eats well and regularly. The kitchens serve healthy food at scheduled times, but there's also all-day dining if someone feels like eating off schedule, which helps reduce the stress of meal planning or cooking. Housekeeping, laundry, and trash removal come standard, and each resident gets a telephone in their room for easy and safe communication.
The building's got community spaces that really do encourage folks to get together, like the dining room, Oakshire Commons, a book room, art and craft studio, movie area for regular films, a fitness center, health room, sauna, hot tub, greenhouse, gardens, and paths for walking when the weather's good. Oakshire Gardens runs regular programs with exercise, music events, art sessions, pet therapy, social nights, outings, religious or devotional activities, and planned programs that promote physical and mental well-being. The staff helps schedule doctor appointments and runs transportation for shopping, errands, and local faith-based services. Services extend to non-ambulatory care, support for falls, incontinence management, spoon feeding if needed, and escorting within the facility, as well as care for wheelchair users.
Amenities cover most things residents might want, with a barber and beauty shop, a hairdresser or parlor, library, games room, flat-screen TV, computer and internet access, valet service, laundry, parking, emergency response, wellness center, and regular counseling options. The facility's secure and maintains spaces for social interaction, inside and out, with gardens, communal areas, and recreation zones. Jobs are available at Oakshire Gardens, and residents can use a Resident App to keep track of information. The pricing for care varies based on the level of help needed, and payment can come from private funds, insurance, social security, or veterans' benefits. Oakshire Gardens works to offer comfort and safety and help residents maintain as much independence as possible, with support tailored to each person's needs and a steady routine built around healthy habits and social connection.
