Bonaventure of Colorado Springs offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care within one community, allowing residents to move between care levels without relocating. The Memory Care program is equipped to manage residents who wander in the morning or evening, are prone to elopement, stay up all night, or have advanced dementia conditions that require closer monitoring. Residents in Assisted Living receive help with daily activities, while those in Independent Living have a safety net of on-site support if their needs change.
Round-the-clock staffing supports these care levels. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on site, with a nurse on call 24 hours a day, and an activity director plans engagement throughout the week. Security staff are present at all hours, and each apartment has a pull-cord system that alerts caregivers. Residents have access to visiting podiatry and dental professionals, as well as a therapy room for physical or occupational sessions. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting when required. Transfer help ranges from standby supervision and walker support to one-person or two-person transfers, ensuring residents are moved safely.
Apartments are designed to give residents choices. Some suites include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, cable service, and in-unit laundry, while others rely on scheduled housekeeping and laundry services; not every unit has every feature, so families should confirm availability. Residents may paint or decorate to make the space their own. Independent Living tenants can add à-la-carte housekeeping and laundry services, and they typically elect a monthly meal plan that covers a set number of meals in the dining room each month.
Dining is flexible. The culinary team prepares a standard menu as well as made-to-order items, and snacks are available throughout the day. A private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings. Diet modifications are accommodated, including mechanical-chopped, puréed, and thickened-liquid options, so residents with chewing or swallowing issues can eat safely.
Residents have access to on-site parking, outdoor smoking areas, and communal gardens. The property is wheelchair accessible and pet-friendly; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Amenities include a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, library, internet access, and spaces for special-interest clubs and religious services. Concierge services help coordinate appointments, and scheduled transportation is available for medical visits and other outings through the community shuttle.
