Legacy at Trinidad sits at 33 Legacy Lane in Trinidad, Colorado, right by local shopping and close to healthcare providers like Mt San Rafael Hospital and Trinidad Medical Associates, and you'll find 28 licensed beds in this one-location community, all carefully managed under Georgette Santistevan, the administrator. Folks can choose private apartments with baths or one of the duplexes on the property, and each room includes individually-controlled heat and air, smoke alarms, sprinkler systems, cable TV, and telephone hook-ups, so people stay comfortable and safe. The community welcomes seniors who want independent living, and it's also set up for those who need more help, like assisted living or skilled nursing, with specialized programs for memory care and dementia, so as people's needs change, they can stay right on the same campus.
There's a full-time wound care nurse and an in-house certified nursing assistant training course, plus nurses around for rehabilitation and Medicare Part A services, and the facility doesn't take Medicare as payment for care, but it's certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Caregivers help with things like bathing, dressing, transfers, medication, and residents who don't walk need not worry, because there's non-ambulatory care and assistance with getting around.
The dining room offers restaurant-style dining all day, and staff can handle special dietary needs such as allergies or diabetes, and residents can always enjoy meal services, meal preparation, and communal dining. You'll find a whirlpool spa, hot tub, a salon and barber shop, a library, arts room, garden, walking paths, separate activity spaces, and a gas fireplace for comfort, while laundry, housekeeping, and maintenance are included as regular services. Cable TV, computer access, wireless emergency call systems, and a 24-hour staff ensure that folks stay connected and safe, with emergency response and a round-the-clock call system for peace of mind.
Engagement is important here, so residents can join in social activities, movie nights, games, hobbies, recreation, fitness and wellness programs, community-sponsored events, and even resident-run gatherings; the property has a garden and plenty of walking paths for staying active. There's salon services, parking in garages or lots, and transportation, including for doctor visits and shopping trips. The community provides secure memory care for those living with Alzheimer's or other dementias, with specially designed rooms and programs. Residents can also find support with in-house physical, occupational, and speech therapy, as well as skilled nursing for those needing more medical attention. Legacy at Trinidad-associated with Heritage Healthcare Management Services, Inc.-calls itself a Continuing Care Retirement Community, which means residents can move between independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing all within one campus, and all the beds are separately licensed by state or local agencies. With a mailbox for every resident, a smoke alarm and sprinkler in each unit, and staff ready to help at all times, the goal's to provide steady support, comfort, and a familiar home-like place for older adults, as well as peace of mind for families.
