Overview of The Carillon at Belleview Station

Denver’s Belleview Station corridor, tucked between Cherry Hills Village and Greenwood Village, is home to a 207-bed high-rise called The Carillon. It’s not a single-purpose building. Assisted living, independent living, and memory care all operate under one roof at 4855 Niagara St, which means a resident’s care level can shift without a change of address.

The neighborhood itself scores a 63 on Walk Score, moderately walkable territory where some errands are doable on foot but a car still helps for the rest. Inside, residents pick from studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units. Transportation services are available for residents who’ve stopped driving, and there’s a dedicated fitness and recreation offering for those who want to stay active rather than sedentary.

Pets are allowed here, a detail that carries real weight for residents unwilling to part with a companion animal as part of a move. The community operates on private pay, worth flagging early for families building out a financial plan. Ownership and administration are both handled at the local level: a Colorado-based operating entity holds the property, with an on-site administrator managing daily operations.

Put together, this is a building designed around continuity. A resident who starts in independent living and later needs memory care doesn’t have to leave the community to get it. For families who’d rather solve that transition once, in a familiar building with a familiar staff, that structural feature is the one worth paying attention to.

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 316 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.
