Applewood Our House Assisted Living Memory Care is a small community in Lakewood, Colorado, offering assisted living and memory care in a home-like setting with 16 residents. The community specializes in care for individuals with dementia and Parkinson's disease.
Families consistently praise the personalized attention and individualized care plans, with staff taking time to learn residents' histories and what brings them joy. The small size of the home is frequently highlighted as enabling meaningful relationships between staff and residents. A therapy dog named Dolly contributes to the welcoming atmosphere. Multiple families noted the clean, bright, and spacious environment, along with a variety of activities and outings offered without pressure to participate. Staff members are described as kind, gentle, and compassionate, though one family noted frequent turnover has not diminished the quality of care.
Some families mentioned specific staff members by name, Angelita, Destiny, and supervisor Rebecca, as exemplary in their attentiveness and emotional support. One family wrote that their father's Parkinson's symptoms "became less severe" following admission. Families also appreciated flexibility during end-of-life care, including overnight stays for visiting relatives.
The community holds a 4.3 out of 5 rating across 23 Google reviews. However, this rating reflects significant variance: while the vast majority of reviews are five stars highlighting specialized dementia and Parkinson's care, a small number of negative reviews raise concerns about cleanliness and staff training at this specific Lakewood location.
