Thomas Park Assisted Living and Memory Care

On Irma Drive in Northglenn, Colorado, Thomas Park Assisted Living and Memory Care occupies a converted home designed for a household of sixteen, not a sprawling campus meant for hundreds. Adams County contains the property, and neighboring Thornton and Westminster sit close enough that families from both cities often consider it. Because the household tops out at sixteen people, staffing and daily pacing follow the rhythm of a single home rather than the shift patterns a larger campus would require.

Cost, whether Medicaid can help cover it, and how close a hospital sits are usually the first questions families raise, so this overview addresses each one up front. Bathing, dressing, prompts to take medication on schedule, and help navigating the building safely make up the assisted living portion of daily care here. Memory-related support threads through those same daily habits instead of living inside its own separately staffed unit.

As a resident's cognitive needs increase, caregivers simply add more hands-on guidance instead of relocating that person to a different area. That structure lets someone who arrives needing only light oversight keep the same bedroom and habits even as dementia symptoms advance. One dining area seats the whole household together, and because a steady staff group cares for this compact group of sixteen residents continuously, a skipped meal or a shift in someone's mood tends to draw attention fast.

Activities happen in small clusters rather than large planned events, and daily structure relies on consistent meal and rest times rather than a packed calendar built for a sprawling community. Families picturing hundreds of neighbors, elaborate outings, and a full events board should know Thomas Park was built around a different, smaller scale altogether. Money matters get a straightforward answer because Thomas Park bills every resident privately, without accepting Medicaid as payment.

Assisted living care begins with a published monthly rate of $5,500, while memory care starts from a published monthly rate of $6,800, so families typically draw on savings or other financial resources to cover those costs. Family members considering a move-in with a companion animal should plan differently, since the community cannot make room for a resident's pet, meaning alternate arrangements need to happen before move-in.

Saint Anthony operates a North Health Campus in Westminster, a short drive from Irma Drive, keeping both routine and urgent medical care within reach. Irma Drive itself stays quiet and residential, though everyday shopping and pharmacy stops remain close by for family members running errands between visits. Because the household stays compact, caregivers at Thomas Park tend to remain with the community for extended stretches, so families often see familiar faces across many visits rather than meeting new staff each time.

That continuity matters in practice: a caregiver who already knows when a resident likes to wake, what meal they favor, or how they prefer assistance offered can act on that knowledge without a written handoff.
