The Academy and their memory-care facility: very different
The Academy itself—the topic of the stars in my review—is fabulous. However, their memory care facility, which is called the Bella Vista, is not. If your loved one is completely docile, it's a lovely place. If he or she becomes at all unruly, however, the nursing staff reacts by insisting that the family hire personal caregivers—and by calling 911. They are very quick to judge normal dementia behaviors as unruly and they will even manipulate information in order to justify that the behavior qualifies as "danger to self or others." This issue is exacerbated by their requirement that all medical communication flow through the facility's nursing staff. Read their "Care we provide" document very carefully to learn what care and support they do and do not provide, and be aware of deceptive wording; for example, most of the meals are cooked by the staff, not created by chefs at the Academy.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Colorado regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Colorado regulations for Assisted Living.
