Brookdale Monument Valley Park

In the Valley Hi neighborhood of southeast Colorado Springs, Brookdale runs a second Monument Valley Park community on Wellshire Boulevard, distinct from its downtown counterpart. Two care tracks run through this 75-apartment building: assisted living and memory care, plus a third option layered on top of both, respite stays. On the assisted living track, staff handle the medication schedule, bathing, and dressing, and on the memory care track, residents living with dementia continue receiving that same hands-on attention without transferring to a separate offsite program.

Respite stays borrow the same rooms and staff for a stretch of days or weeks, useful whether a family is testing the community before a permanent move or covering for a regular caregiver's time away, and pets are welcome throughout. Life at this Wellshire Boulevard address runs on the same Brookdale model used across its sister communities, with staff cross-trained in both assisted living and memory care so support can shift without a change of address.

The Valley Hi setting keeps a quieter, more residential pace than buildings clustered closer to downtown, which families weighing a respite stay often find easier for a short visit. What's missing here mirrors its downtown counterpart: no independent living, no skilled nursing, and no Medicaid billing, though the respite option sets this address apart in a different direction. Anything beyond day-to-day caregiving routes to UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central, a short trip from the Wellshire Boulevard building, and the Chelton Road corridor covers grocery runs and a family meal without much of a drive.

The neighborhood keeps a quieter, more residential pace than the city center. Brookdale pairs its standard assisted living and memory care model with a respite option at this Valley Hi address, giving families a way to try the community on a short-term basis before deciding on a longer stay.
