Woodlake Legacy Senior Living

Woodlakes Senior Living is a senior community in the Green Mountain area of west Lakewood, Colorado, at 12791 West Alameda Parkway, bringing assisted living, secured memory care, and a Medicare-certified skilled-nursing and rehabilitation wing together on one campus. Having all three levels in one place means a resident can settle into assisted living, move into dedicated memory care if dementia advances, or come in for short-term rehab after a hospital stay, without leaving a familiar building and staff.

Assisted living covers the everyday help a resident needs, from medication management to assistance with bathing and dressing, in private apartments that come as studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms. The family-owned operator, Generations, gives the community the feel of a local business. Memory care sits in a secured neighborhood built for residents living with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, with a calmer pace and a secured outdoor courtyard residents can use freely.

The secured garden is a real part of daily life, giving residents a safe place to be outside on their own. The skilled-nursing and rehabilitation wing is what sets Woodlakes apart from a standard assisted-living building. It is Medicare-certified and handles short-term rehab after surgery or a hospital stay, so a resident can recover with physical and occupational therapy on the same campus, close to home, rather than across town.

Daily life runs through restaurant-style dining with a private dining room, a cafe and bistro, a beauty salon and barber, an arts and crafts studio, and a library with a piano, with yoga, art classes, karaoke, and day trips on the calendar. Each room has 24-hour security and emergency response, and housekeeping, laundry, and scheduled transportation are handled for residents. The community welcomes cats and dogs, so a resident's pet can move in, and a senior advisor can walk a family through current pricing and how funding works across the assisted-living, memory-care, and skilled-nursing sides.

The Green Mountain location keeps care and the outdoors close. St. Anthony Hospital, a Level I trauma center, is about two miles away in the same part of Lakewood, and William F. Hayden Green Mountain Park sits right to the west for walks and views. Colorado Mills and the Belmar district are both a short drive, and U.S. 6, C-470, and Union Boulevard make the campus easy to reach. With assisted living, secured memory care, and Medicare-certified skilled nursing on one family-run campus next to Green Mountain, Woodlakes Senior Living gives west-Lakewood families a single address that can carry a resident through changing care needs.
