A Change of Seasons Assisted Living

A Change of Seasons is a small residential memory care home at 225 Marshall Street in central Lakewood, Colorado, near the Belmar district. Licensed by the state and built around just 10 residents, it cares for older adults living with dementia and memory loss in a secured, home-style setting rather than a large institution, with the close attention a small household makes possible. The home is secured for residents living with memory loss, with an exit-alert system and a secured courtyard so residents can move and spend time outdoors safely.

Staff are trained in dementia care and provide help with the everyday parts of the day, from medication management to bathing, dressing, and daily routines, with assisted-living-level support available as needs change. Bilingual staff make the home a comfortable fit for Spanish-speaking families. Rooms come as private and semi-private, and the scale keeps mealtimes, activities, and care personal, with caregivers who know each resident by name.

On-site physician visits keep more routine medical attention in the home, and respite stays are available for families who need short-term care. Daily life follows a calm, predictable rhythm that helps residents living with dementia feel settled, with light activities, time in the secured courtyard, and home-cooked meals shared together. Housekeeping, laundry, and scheduled transportation are handled by staff, and the home keeps cable television and comfortable common areas.

One thing that sets A Change of Seasons apart from much of the metro's memory care is that it accepts Medicaid, which makes dedicated dementia care a real option for families who would be priced out of private-pay-only communities. A senior advisor can walk a family through current pricing, how Medicaid is applied, and whether the secured setting fits a particular resident's stage of dementia. The central Lakewood location keeps families close to care and errands.

St. Anthony Hospital, a Level I trauma center, is about two miles away, roughly a five-minute drive, and the walkable Belmar shopping and dining district sits minutes from the home. Addenbrooke Park is close for a change of scenery, with Wadsworth Boulevard and West Alameda Avenue carrying families across Lakewood. With a secured 10-resident setting, bilingual staff, on-site physician visits, and Medicaid accepted, A Change of Seasons gives Lakewood families an intimate, affordable memory-care option near Belmar.
