About WeCare Colorado Assisted Living & Memory Care
We Care Assisted Living and Memory Care is a small senior living community at 9495 West 49th Avenue in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, offering assisted living and secured memory care in a residential, home-like setting. Opened in 2023, it keeps a small scale where caregivers can know each resident, rather than the size of a large institutional building. The community provides assisted living with help for daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, mobility, and medication management, with caregivers on site around the clock and nursing support.
For residents living with Alzheimer's or other dementia, a secured memory care area offers a safe, structured environment with personalized care plans. The small-home scale means staff can give close, consistent attention across both kinds of care. Daily life is built around a warm, community-centered feel, with chef-prepared meals made from fresh, seasonal ingredients served at set mealtimes, a community lounge, and a calendar of exercise classes, arts and crafts, and social gatherings.
Housekeeping, laundry, and transportation are handled for residents, and the single-story, residential layout keeps everything close and easy to navigate. What sets We Care apart is the combination of a very small, residential scale with both assisted living and secured memory care, so a resident can stay in a familiar setting if memory needs grow. As a newer community opened in 2023, the building and furnishings are fresh, and the small size keeps the atmosphere personal rather than institutional.
The community sits in a residential pocket of north Wheat Ridge just east of Kipling Street near 49th Avenue, with Crown Hill Park's open space a few minutes south and quick access to Interstate 70. Intermountain Health Lutheran Hospital opened a new campus a few minutes west at Clear Creek Crossing in 2024, and St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood is another option to the south. With its small scale, chef-prepared dining, and secured memory care, We Care offers Wheat Ridge families a home-like alternative to a large community for an older adult who needs assisted living or dementia care. A senior advisor can confirm current openings and pricing.
