Liberty Heights sits on a big 26-acre property overlooking the Air Force Academy, the foothills, and Pikes Peak, so residents can enjoy pretty views and quiet spaces, and the campus has outdoor patios where folks sit and talk and relax while watching the mountains. The community covers just about every level of care, so there's independent living for older adults who like being social and active but don't want to bother with chores or upkeep, assisted living with help for daily needs like bathing, dressing, and taking medicines, and a full skilled nursing center for folks who need around-the-clock nursing care or rehabilitation after illness or surgery. Memory care is available, using personalized plans and engaging activities to help people with Alzheimer's or dementia stay involved in daily life, and there's even respite care if someone needs short-term help after surgery or when caregivers need a break. The award-winning Embrace Memory Care program is coming soon, which'll focus even more on people living with memory challenges.
The building has some nice touches, like an inviting lobby with a grand piano, a fireplace, elegant touches like a chandelier, and comfortable seats, and the dining room has big windows, round tables, and white linens, making meal times bright and pleasant. Folks can gather in the common room with soft chairs, a TV, and books, or walk by the reception area and see the wood desk, patterned carpet, columns, and comfortable seating for visitors. The kitchen staff prepares chef-made meals with attention to nutrition, with both restaurant-style dining and private dining options for special occasions. There's a fitness center with exercise machines like treadmills and weights, an indoor pool and hot tub for swimming and therapy, and a beautician on site for hair appointments, plus a barber for men who need a trim. Pet lovers can bring their animals, and there's resident parking and transportation for getting around town, along with wheelchair accessible showers and no smoking indoors for those who prefer smoke-free areas.
The health care team includes nurses on staff day and night, a nurse on call, visits from podiatrists and dentists, and therapy options for physical, occupational, and speech needs, plus hospice and home care if someone wants to age in place until the end of life. People can choose from different living spaces, and some apartments have two bedrooms, two baths, patios, garages, and gas fireplaces for extra comfort. The staff works to make the atmosphere friendly and helpful, they've got lots of planned activities to keep everyone busy, with social gatherings, educational programs, devotional services both on-site and offsite, and entertainment to help everyone stay connected and enjoy life together. Residents can count on help with cleaning and laundry, and there's always a staff member around if needed, so people feel safe and supported whenever something comes up. Liberty Heights tries to let people live their life how they want, with a mix of freedom and care, depending on what each person needs, and the renovated spaces and regular events add to a welcoming feeling that makes it easier for newcomers and long-time residents alike to settle in and call it home.
