Overview of Mesa Verde Estates

Mesa Verde Estates offers assisted living and memory care in Durango, Colorado. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks while residents maintain their own living space. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Pets are allowed, giving a resident the option to keep a pet when moving to the community. Melissa Swanson serves as the director.
