Laramie Care Center

Laramie Care Center sits on a single story and welcomes over 95 residents in a community that feels warm, home-like, and clean, and folks can see right away that the rooms are bright and have a hopeful feel to them, with opportunities for people to decorate and add personal touches, which matters because it's always nicer to have a space that looks like one's own. Staff provide daily housekeeping and laundry, and same-day responses to maintenance, so residents don't have to worry about chores piling up. There's an emergency call-light system in every room for safety. People can bring their own belongings and use Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV, and visit lounges or relax in the outdoor courtyard and patio, and they can come together in the spacious common areas to socialize or join the scheduled activities, which run every day with a full calendar offering 40 to 50 options each week, such as fitness groups, life enrichment events, shuttle bus outings, and off-site trips.

Residents pick from private rooms, studios, or suites, and the meals are all chef-prepared-every day includes three sit-down meals with choices from à la carte selections to dietician-approved or special diet menus. Dining takes place in a restaurant-style setting, and people have an option for private meals in their rooms too. There's always staff ready to help, with nurses on duty all day and a full-time concierge planning activities and helping with any requests, and residents receive personalized help with daily living as needed, since care covers adult day programs, independent living, assisted living, home health care, skilled nursing, continuing care retirement, hospice, and respite stays.

Laramie Care Center is part of the Five Star Senior Living network, so it offers progressive care that changes with health needs right on the same campus, from independent and assisted living to skilled nursing, memory care, and rehabilitation, which helps people who are recovering from something or need more medical support than assisted living can offer. They specialize in memory care for people with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, with dedicated staff and secure spaces to help everyone feel safe and comfortable. Therapy services, like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, are included for residents looking to meet health goals, with transportation provided for medical appointments if folks need it.

All insurance types like Medicare and Medicaid are accepted. Laramie Care Center gets an average rating of 6.8 out of 10 and holds the third spot among three communities in Laramie, with a two-star score from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for its nursing home. Amenities focus on convenience and comfort, such as controlled access buildings, medication management, library, beauty and barber shop, and 24-hour nurse coverage. Same goes for the weekly private transportation services, housekeeping, laundry, personal care support, and the warm, well-trained team that works closely with everyone to help them stay comfortable and secure at each stage of retirement living.
