Overview of Mountain Vista Assisted Living & Memory Care

Mountain Vista Assisted Living & Memory Care is a continuing care retirement community in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing. Independent living provides private living with community services, assisted living helps with daily tasks, memory care offers a secured setting with supervision, and skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care around the clock. With these care levels in one community, a resident whose needs grow may be able to move to a different level of care without leaving the community, which may suit someone planning for changing care needs over time.

Mountain Vista has served seniors since 1963 and is in the Appleridge Estates neighborhood. Housing includes studios, one bedroom units, and two bedroom units, with two bedroom homes potentially suiting couples moving together. Pets are allowed, and residents have access to an outdoor courtyard, a salon and spa, transportation, and religious services.

Rehabilitation services include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech and language therapy. Short term rehabilitation can support a temporary recovery stay rather than a permanent move. The community also has a wellness center and private dining, giving residents spaces for therapy related support and meals outside the regular dining setting.
