Highline Place Memory Care in Littleton, Colorado is dedicated exclusively to Memory Care and is equipped to manage a wide range of medical and behavioral needs common to progressive cognitive decline. The team is prepared for residents who wander at any time of day, attempt elopement, exhibit combative or other challenging behaviors, stay awake through the night, or require oversight for advanced dementia conditions. Clinical support extends to wound care, oxygen use, special diets, and diabetic management for residents on oral medications. The community also accepts individuals under 60 who meet Memory Care criteria, ensuring continuity of care across age groups.
An RN or LPN is on staff, with a nurse on call 24 hours a day, and every team member undergoes background checks. Night shifts are covered by awake staff, and the building maintains 24-hour security with alarmed doors and a fenced rear area to reduce elopement risk. An activity director oversees daily engagement, while on-site podiatry services and acceptance of residents with psychiatric diagnoses broaden medical coverage. Direct care includes full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Mobility needs are supported from standby help with a walker to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers, and the team can care for residents who are bed bound.
Residences are offered in different layouts, some featuring private bathrooms, basic furnishings, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or personalize the space; not every room includes every feature, so families should confirm availability. Dining follows a set menu with regular snacks, and the kitchen can modify meals to accommodate physician-ordered diets and texture changes.
Amenities and services include wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty salon, community internet access, landscaped communal gardens, on-site religious services, a true roll-in shower, and proximity to public transportation. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
