Catharine's Quality of Life Homes II

Catharine's Quality of Life Homes II in Lakewood, Colorado, offers care for seniors in a quiet, peaceful setting with only nine beds, so things tend to feel calm and like living at home instead of feeling like a big institution, and they try to keep the place very clean and comfortable with shared neighborhood living for seniors who need some help and also want some social time. The staff speaks several languages, including Spanish, and they're described as kind and supportive, making sure residents get companionship along with non-medical help like reminders and support with daily needs such as bathing, dressing, moving around, using the bathroom, and managing medications, and there's help with eating or toileting if someone needs it, so nobody gets left out. There's a focus on making life active, too, with activities and wellness programs, a game room, Christian Services, walking or jogging paths to enjoy outside, internet access for those who want it, and all-day snacks and meals planned by an on-site dietitian, so there's a bit of a social feel to meals and eating, plus dining help when it's needed. Memory care is an important part of what they do, and for people living with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, there are secure systems like Wander Guard, calming surroundings, and reminiscence care neighborhoods that are meant to bring comfort. The facility supports folks with limited mobility and special health needs, like incontinence care and home health help, and there's an RN on call and 24-hour staff. The rooms can be private or semi-private, with options like studios and single bedrooms, and pets are allowed, which makes things feel a little homier. There's also transportation as needed, custom care plans, a bistro, fitness area, private dining, and a specialized intervention program for more support. They serve seniors who need assistance, help those who have suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury, and aim to help everyone feel welcome. The focus stays on creating a friendly and safe place for both residents and their families, and most people say the environment feels welcoming and warm.
