Gardens Care Senior Living - Bel Aire Memory Care

Gardens Care Homes: Bel Aire Memory Care is a small, secured memory care home at 3555 Dudley Street in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, caring for up to sixteen residents living with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Part of Gardens Care Senior Living, a Colorado group of small residential homes, Bel Aire is designed to feel like a true household rather than an institution. Because every resident is living with memory loss, the home is fully secured and supervised, with 24-hour care, medication management, and rounding physicians on the care team.

Care plans are personalized to each resident, and the team also supports diabetic, incontinence, and non-ambulatory needs. The newly remodeled, single-story home is built around safety, with secure access and heightened security measures that give residents freedom within safe spaces. Daily life is shaped to feel familiar and calm, with daily exercise classes, flower arranging and gardening, weekly live music, movie nights, puzzles, and card games, plus special monthly events.

Meals are family-style in a bed-and-breakfast-inspired home setting, with complimentary meal service, and a mobile dentist and laundry service are handled on site. Residents have both private and semi-private rooms to match the setting to their needs. The appeal is the small-home model: with a maximum of sixteen residents in a single remodeled house, Bel Aire offers an intimate, household-style setting where caregivers know each resident, a contrast to large memory care wings.

On-site 24-hour nursing and the personalized care plans add clinical depth behind the home-like feel. The home sits in a residential Wheat Ridge neighborhood near the 38th Avenue corridor, with Wadsworth Boulevard, Interstate 70, and Crown Hill Park's lake and open space close by. Intermountain Health Lutheran Hospital, which opened a new campus a few minutes away at Clear Creek Crossing in 2024, is the nearest hospital, with St.

Anthony Hospital in Lakewood another option to the south. Part of Gardens Care Senior Living, founded in 2016 and running small homes across the Denver metro, Bel Aire Memory Care gives Wheat Ridge families a small, secured, residential setting focused entirely on dementia care.
