Hirest Care Center & The Towers sits in Northeast Colorado and operates daily with hours from 12:00AM to 11:59PM, staying closed only on holidays, and really, the place is always working on meeting different needs in a secure, comfortable, home-like spot for seniors who need a little help or maybe a lot of help, depending on their health. The community accepts Medicare, Medicaid, respite insurance, hospice, and private pay, so a lot of people can live here no matter their situation, and you'll find both Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing types of care here, which means you've got independent living, memory care for folks with Alzheimer's and dementia, and traditional long-term nursing too, all under one roof, which makes things easier if someone's health needs change and they want to stay in the same place. There are also board and care homes in regular neighborhoods, and they only have a few residents, so it feels quiet and close-knit. The Towers is the residential part of it, and they've got thoughtful room features like having a phone in each room, plus a lot of amenities for comfort, like a library, walking paths, gardens, a barber and salon, places for movie nights, and activities planned for every day, like games, music, and chapel services.
Staff at Hirest Care Center & The Towers includes charge nurses, certified nurse aides who can give medication, companions called QMAPs, and even medical laboratory scientists, plus licensed nurses all day and night, and they're all about seeing each resident as an individual, making resident care plans and doing things like wound care, podiatry, vision, and dental services, even having a clinical psychologist drop by for behavioral health, and there's dietary counseling in case anyone has specific food needs. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy comes from Wray Physical Therapy, and they cover rehabilitation after surgery or illness too, along with things like housekeeping, laundry, and help with bathing, dressing, medication management, or just being around to help with the everyday things that get tricky with age. For those who want to live more independently, you'll find maintenance-free apartments, resort-like amenities, and social activities, but you can still call for help 24/7, plus there's a call system in every room and supervision at all hours for safety.
People living here get meals each day and support with daily living, but the community also gives disease management, early intervention, restorative rehab, and visits from physicians or nurse practitioners as needed, which means there's someone to look in on folks if health problems crop up. Life at Hirest Care Center & The Towers isn't all medicine and care-residents get to enjoy movies, resident-run activities, special music events, and library time, and families can find resources and updates to stay in the loop. Transportation runs through Hillcrest and County Express for outings, appointments, or errands, and there's a tradition of quality care rooted in respect, trust, and supporting people's physical and mental well-being, with costs starting at $3,600 a month, which some might find reasonable compared to other places. The neighborhood's pretty lively, with easy access to a hospital, clinic, restaurants, a coffee shop, and local places of worship right nearby, which is handy for most people.
