HighPointe Assisted Living and Memory Care

HighPointe Assisted Living and Memory Care is a senior community at 6383 East Girard Place in the University Hills area of southeast Denver, operated by Spectrum Retirement Communities. It offers assisted living and memory care across 94 apartments, so a resident can stay in one community as memory-care needs grow. The building holds 62 assisted living apartments and a 32-apartment memory care neighborhood.

Day-to-day care covers medication management and help with bathing, dressing, and daily routines, and memory care follows a Montessori-based approach that builds the day around each resident's interests and abilities, with activities like sound-bath sessions and virtual-reality outings. Families describe a team that helps ease the move and a building where new residents are welcomed by name. Daily life centers on restaurant-style dining with a professional chef, an anytime dining schedule, and a six-week rotating menu that accommodates diabetic, low-sodium, vegetarian, vegan, kosher, and pureed diets.

The building adds a movie theater, an arts and crafts studio, a beauty and barber salon, a fitness center, a library, and a game room, with a landscaped courtyard and walking paths outside. The calendar runs deep, with cooking classes, wine and bourbon tastings, a book club, chair yoga and tai chi, live performances, and outings to Rockies games and the aquarium. HighPointe fits families who want assisted living with a Montessori-based memory care option in one community, in a convenient southeast Denver setting.

It is private pay and does not accept Medicaid, and it welcomes cats and dogs. The University Hills location keeps things close, near Hampden Avenue and Colorado Boulevard with quick Interstate 25 access, about three miles from Rose Medical Center for hospital care. University Hills shopping along Colorado Boulevard handles everyday errands, and Glendale, Englewood, and Cherry Creek are all a short drive.

Operated by Spectrum Retirement Communities, which runs communities across several states, HighPointe pairs a 2013-built, remodeled building and a Montessori-based memory care neighborhood with a central southeast Denver address near a major hospital.
