My grandma has really blossomed since moving into this care center! It is evident how well the staff care for their residents. She had lived at a different facility for a few years, and she is so much happier at Western Slope Memory Care. She participates in activities, goes on outings, and enjoys the time.<br><br>When we visited her, I loved seeing the photos of the residents displayed on the TV. It was fun to pick out Grandma! Both days, when we stopped to take her out for lunch, we were greeted by a friendly staff member named Kyleton. He was very welcoming, kind, and professional!<br><br>I wish I could visit my grandma more often, but we live far out of state. I have, however, been delighted to have called and spoken with her on special occasions. Thank you to the staff for taking such good care of my grandma! We look forward to seeing you all again on our next visit!

My husband has been living here since October and I couldn’t be happier with the facility! The staff (all of them) are loving, kind and friendly to both the resident and their family!<br>As hard as the decision was to place my husband this was the exact right facility at the exact right time!!

Western Slope Memory Care gave us our mother back. I don't know how else to say it.<br><br>She came to WSMC from another facility where she had all but disappeared into herself. Sleeping 18+ hours a day, no smiles, no jokes, barely a word when we called. Watching someone you love fade like that is a particular kind of grief — and we were living it.<br><br>What happened after her move was something we hadn't dared hope for. Her very first morning at Western Slope, something had already shifted. In the short time she has been there, we've already watched her come back to life. She's joined activities. She walks faster. She laughs. She teases us. She talks about how beautiful the facility is and how kind everyone is. These are things we had not seen or heard from her in close to two years.<br><br>The staff here are the real story. Every single person — without exception — has been warm, patient, and genuinely caring, not just toward our mother, but toward our whole family as we navigated what was a deeply emotional transition. You can feel that this isn't just a job to them.<br><br>If you are struggling to find the right memory care for someone you love, I hope our experience gives you hope. Western Slope was the answer for our family, and we are so deeply thankful.

After having been here with a friend, I was impressed with the facility—clean, lively but peaceful, and staff seemed happy to be there. Glad to know of a place like this jn town. Worth a look for sure! Only reason I put 4 stars instead of 5 is bc I didn’t see everything or participate in activities or dining options.
