The Villas at Rock Canyon sits at 1611 Alma Ave, Pueblo, Colorado, about two miles from town, and provides both skilled nursing and assisted living with a dedicated secured memory care unit, and there's also independent living and respite care for those needing short-term help after surgery or injury, so folks have some options whether they want maintenance-free age-restricted apartments or more hands-on support. The building has 17 beds, making it more of a medium-sized community, which means staff have some time to get to know everyone, and residents can choose between studio apartments, single rooms, two-bedroom layouts, and both private and semi-private rooms, all with basic safety features like handrails, sprinkler systems, emergency alert systems, and wheelchair access, plus there are walk-in showers and telephones for easy communication. People can have small pets, there's parking for guests, and the grounds feature an outdoor garden, walking paths, and a patio area for fresh air, while inside there's a game and activity room, an arts and crafts room, a library, and a café, with a full beauty and barber shop for personal care.
Meals get served restaurant style in a common dining room, and special diets, like for diabetes or allergies, can be accommodated; they also have a country store, a community room for movie nights and social events, and Wi-Fi. Residents who need help with daily living can get assistance from trained staff with bathing, dressing, grooming, walking and wheelchair use, and transfers, and there's medication management, wound care, nurses, podiatry, and occupational therapy on-site; they coordinate with doctors and handle most housekeeping and laundry, too, so folks don't have to worry about chores. Memory Care has secure, structured programming-activities and events run all day to keep people engaged-in addition to 24-hour supervision, a call system, and controlled access to give families a sense of security. There are scheduled outings and transportation to appointments or errands, and lots of social events to keep people busy, whether it's education programs, fitness, worship services, games, or community-sponsored activities, and folks say the friendly staff watch out for everyone and treat residents with respect.
