The Villa at Sunny Vista in Colorado Springs, CO provides two levels of residential care: assisted living and memory care. Licensed nursing staff is on-site around the clock to monitor chronic conditions, perform scheduled wellness checks, manage medications, and coordinate with outside physicians and therapists. For residents in the memory care neighborhood, caregivers trained in dementia techniques use structured routines and gentle redirection to reduce agitation and promote safety. Emergency response systems are installed throughout the building so help can be summoned quickly, and a registered nurse oversees care plans to keep them current as residents’ needs change.

Beyond core medical monitoring, the community arranges on-site physical, occupational and speech therapy through outside providers, helping residents maintain or regain mobility after illness or injury. Transportation to local medical appointments is available on set days, and staff can escort residents who need additional support. A full calendar of cognitive games, exercise classes and supervised outings aims to address social, emotional and physical health, while spa services and a salon give residents opportunities for routine self-care. Housekeeping, laundry and maintenance are handled by staff so residents can focus on therapy and daily activities.

Apartment options include studios, one-bedrooms and companion suites equipped with individual climate controls, private bathrooms with walk-in showers and grab bars, and an emergency pull-cord system. Certain floor plans add kitchenettes or patios, though these features are not present in every unit. Weekly linen service and trash removal are standard, and maintenance is available for repairs or adjustments. Pets are allowed in designated units; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.

The culinary team prepares three meals daily, served restaurant-style in a central dining room with snacks available between meals. Menus are created with input from a dietitian to accommodate diabetic, low-sodium and other physician-ordered diets, and pureed or mechanically altered textures are offered for residents with swallowing difficulties. Residents who prefer to dine privately can request meal delivery for an additional fee, though this option is not available for every accommodation type. Families are welcome to join residents for meals by reserving guest seating in advance.
