Overview of Allison Care Center

Lakewood’s Allison Care Center sits on Allison Street, an 85-bed skilled nursing facility that also runs hospice, memory care, and respite programs. Savanah Stark administers the community for its owner, Allison Care Center, LLC. The neighborhood scores 85 on Walk Score, so if you’re visiting, you can actually walk to a coffee shop or a pharmacy instead of getting back in the car every time.

Here’s the thing about the numbers: 90% of the 85 beds are filled right now, and the average resident sticks around for 446 days. That’s over a year, on average, which tells you this place handles a real mix: people recovering from a hip replacement alongside people who need ongoing skilled nursing for the long haul.

Nurses and aides combined put in 3 hours and 32 minutes per resident every day. RNs account for 36 of those minutes, LPNs and LVNs add 50, and nurse aides cover 2 hours and 5 minutes, the largest single chunk.

There’s rehab, respite, and 24-hour staffing on-site. Three named programs cover the range: rehabilitation and wellness for people bouncing back from illness or injury, short-term and respite stays for families who need temporary relief, and hospice and comfort care for residents nearing the end of life. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted.

This is a facility built less for one narrow type of resident and more for range: hospital discharges who need a bridge back to independence, and residents whose care needs are permanent and ongoing, both find a lane here.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Colorado

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Colorado?

Assisted living in Colorado supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

Does Colorado Medicaid cover memory care?

Colorado Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including Colorado) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 326 memory care communities in Colorado. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community in Colorado?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Colorado, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting memory care communities in Colorado?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
