Atria Longmont

Walking paths circle a water reserve pond on the manicured grounds of Atria Longmont at 2310 9th Avenue in Longmont, Colorado, with views across to the Rocky Mountains. The community offers independent living, assisted living and memory care, and its 100 assisted living beds share the building with apartments ranging from studios to two-bedroom floor plans. Assisted living at Atria Longmont starts with a thorough assessment of each resident, completed by a licensed nurse who is based at the community.

Discreet support is there at any hour of the day or night, and day-to-day help covers medication administration, supervision of medications residents manage themselves, insulin storage with reminders and assistance getting out of a bed or chair. Telehealth services are also available to residents in assisted living. Memory care is provided in Life Guidance, a secure neighborhood whose common spaces let residents move about freely and safely.

The neighborhood keeps an intimate dining room of its own that encourages social connection at mealtimes, and a dedicated staff provides person-centered care with support through the day and night. Classically trained chefs prepare a seasonal menu from scratch for the whole community. Residents can choose among a restaurant, a café and a private dining room, and an ice cream parlor and an outdoor dining space are on site too.
