Legacy House Elder Care on Berry in Littleton, CO operates as a residential care home able to support residents with a broad range of medical needs. The team is trained to work with people who wander during the day or night, exhibit combative or other behavioral challenges, or are up all night due to moderate dementia or other conditions. On-site caregivers monitor and treat wounds, manage oxygen therapy, and follow physician-ordered special diets. Diabetes care is available for residents who use oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale dosing, and the staff can also admit adults under 60 when appropriate.
Caregiving extends beyond clinical tasks to include full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, along with some physical help during meals. Residents who walk independently or who use walkers, wheelchairs, or need a one-person transfer receive the level of mobility support their situation requires, including standby or supervisory guidance. Routine safety checks, medication reminders, and 24-hour staffing are standard practice to keep residents steady and secure.
Accommodations at Legacy House range from private to shared rooms, each designed to allow personal furnishings while still providing essential safety features such as grab bars and emergency call response systems; not every room, however, includes every amenity, so families should confirm specifics during a tour. Housekeeping, personal laundry, and basic maintenance are included, and climate controls let residents set temperatures to their own comfort level where available.
Meals are prepared in-house and served three times daily, with snacks offered between dining periods. Menus adjust to physician-directed diets, including low-sodium, diabetic-friendly, and other specialized plans, and residents who need modified textures or calibrated portion sizes receive them. Dining rooms promote social interaction, yet tray service to the resident’s room is available when illness or recovery makes leaving the suite difficult.
