Companion Care, Inc. I

Companion Care, Inc. I, over on 225 N. Marshall St. in Lakewood, Colorado, is where folks find a quieter, homelike place that feels a little more like going home than some other places, and you see all sorts of care offered from assisted living to memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, and that's no exaggeration because you'll find different names around here-Morningstar Assisted Living, Rising Sun Senior Home, Belmar Physical Therapy, Carriage Healthcare, Healing House, and Fit Physical Therapy, even things like the Belmar Ambulatory Surgical Center and Evocare Center for Physical Health-which means a real focus on physical health, rehab, and also mental well-being with things like handprints therapy, chiropractic care, and urgent care or outpatient services. People talk about the personal touch around here because the owners know the residents, and it's smaller than you might expect, so folks get help with things like dressing, bathing, health needs like incontinence care or high acuity care, and of course housekeeping, laundry, and meal services-usually one or two meals a day made by the kitchen staff who pay attention to nutrition, and folks say you notice the difference because you can keep your cat or dog with you if you move into memory care. The place is set up with single-family or apartment-style living, you get private baths but shared common spaces, and there's always a lot happening with activities, plus amenities like transportation and parking, Spanish-speaking staff, physical rehab, and care for anyone who doesn't walk easily, all at a cost that's generally more affordable than some other senior places in Lakewood. Sometimes you might see a hiccup like a server error if you're looking online, but here the focus stays on personalized, gentle care in a family-like setting, and many say it helps folks stay active and comfortable.
