When a loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia, families face the difficult decision of finding the right care environment—one that is not only safe and secure but also enriching and compassionate.

Our person-centered approach ensures that each resident is seen, heard, and valued—every single day.

Dementia in Colorado: Why Specialized Care Matters

Dementia is a growing public health concern in Colorado and across the country. According to the Alzheimer’s Association of Colorado:

- Over 91,000 Coloradans aged 65+ are currently living with Alzheimer’s disease.

- 16.7% of adults 45 and older in Colorado report experiencing subjective cognitive decline—the self-reported worsening or more frequent confusion or memory loss.

- Nearly 178,000 unpaid family caregivers in the state provide care to loved ones with dementia, contributing over 309 million hours of assistance annually, labor valued at $8.1 billion.

- The Colorado Medicaid program spends an estimated $856 million each year on Alzheimer's-related care.

These numbers highlight a simple truth: specialized, accessible memory care services are more critical than ever.

Melody Living’s Person-Centered Best-in-Class Approach to Memory Care

At Melody Living, our Memory Care neighborhood is intentionally designed to support residents living with dementia or cognitive challenges. Our philosophy centers on respect, dignity, and understanding, recognizing that no two journeys are alike.

Here’s what makes our Best-in-Class care stand out:

Purposeful Design

Our secure memory care neighborhood includes calming color palettes, intuitive layouts, and memory cues that reduce confusion and promote independence. Residents enjoy private suites with personal touches, tranquil outdoor courtyards, and inviting common spaces.

Enriching Daily Life

From music therapy and sensory activities to art programs and nature walks, our Life Enrichment team creates a daily rhythm that brings structure, stimulation, and joy. Activities are adapted to each resident’s cognitive level, promoting a sense of achievement and belonging.

Highly Trained Caregivers

Our staff receives specialized dementia care training to ensure compassionate, respectful support at every stage of memory loss. We emphasize relationship-building, non-verbal communication, and redirection techniques to support emotional wellness and reduce anxiety.

Innovative Onsite Education for Families

At Melody Living, we know dementia affects the whole family. We offer educational events, such as Effective Communication Strategies for Dementia, to help loved ones better understand their role, navigate emotional challenges, and maintain meaningful relationships.

Building Awareness & Starting the Conversation

In Colorado, Alzheimer’s is the seventh-leading cause of death, and yet many seniors and families still struggle to discuss cognitive changes. Melody Living advocates for early intervention, regular memory screenings, and public education to reduce stigma and encourage support.

We work closely with families, healthcare providers, and community organizations to ensure our residents receive the best possible care at every stage of cognitive decline.
