Stoneridge at Centerra

Floor plans at Stoneridge at Centerra are named for trees, from the Box Elder memory care suite at 306 square feet to the Blue Spruce, a two-bedroom, two-bath apartment of 831 square feet. The 113-bed community sits at 4295 McWhinney Boulevard in the Centerra area of Loveland, Colorado, where it provides assisted living and Generations Memory Care. Residents are welcome to bring their pets along when they move in.

Assisted living here covers personal care such as dressing, bathing and continence care, and associates also give daily reminders and look after medications. Care is available on site, a professional team is present around the clock, and an emergency call response system is in place for residents. Generations Memory Care starts from the view that each resident remains the individual they have always been, and that a diagnosis never stands in for who they are.

Among its six signature programs, Tune Into Me draws on music, Daily Journey practices daily living skills, and From Our Generation to Yours brings different generations together, alongside Culinary Creations, Never Stop Exploring and It's All Right. Chef-prepared meals follow the Elevate dining program, which blends the home-style favorites of residents with fresh cooking. BALANCED, a program centered on brain health, adds group fitness to the dining side along with live cooking demonstrations and tastings that residents take part in.

The Vibrant Life activities program covers social outings, community events and fitness classes, and complimentary chauffeured transportation reaches local outings and appointments. Under the same roof sit a movie theatre, a fitness center and a beauty salon with a barbershop, and housekeeping and maintenance are among the services provided. Apartments come with a kitchenette, a patio and a zero-entry shower, utilities apart from phone service are included, and a washer and dryer are available.

Outside, extensive landscaped grounds hold a putting green, a courtyard, an outdoor garden, a patio area and a dog park. Past the grounds, the Centerra neighborhood offers miles of trails and two lakes, along with Chapungu Sculpture Park and the High Plains Environmental Center with its gardens and orchards. Stoneridge at Centerra is set up for older adults who want help with personal care and medications in an apartment of their own, and for people living with memory loss who are looking for a memory care program that includes music, daily living skills and time with other generations.

The community is private pay, and its Veterans Program gives veterans 50% off the first month's rent each year. Through a partnership with Patriot Angels, qualified applicants approved for veterans benefits also receive $1,000 off the second month's rent, and these terms are worth confirming with the community before a move. Within Larimer County, Centerra sits at the junction of Interstate 25 and Highway 34, and the Promenade Shops at Centerra and Centerra Marketplace are both part of the district.

Restaurants in Centerra include Biaggi's, Olive & Herb, Kobe Sushi, Hub Cafe by Fresh Plate, Colorado Coffee Company and Paciugo Gelato Caffe. Medical Center of the Rockies, a 278-bed hospital at 2500 Rocky Mountain Avenue, is about a mile northeast of the community in a straight line. The Loveland campus of Banner North Colorado Medical Center, on Boise Avenue, lies about 2 miles west, and Boyd Lake State Park sits on North County Road 11-C in Loveland.
