The Ivy Colorado Springs

How does The Ivy Colorado Springs structure its care for residents who need more than independent living? The community at 9112 Grand Cordera Pkwy offers independent living, assisted living and memory care, and it is operated by Ivy Living. Each resident's care plan is set individually and reviewed on an ongoing basis.

Independent living suits residents who manage their own routine and want the upkeep of a home taken off their plate. Assisted living adds help with daily needs for residents who require more support, with personalized care plans built around each resident. Memory care, through the community's Evergreen neighborhood, serves residents living with Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia who need closer supervision and a structured day, with staff trained to work with residents through changes in memory and mood.

Shared spaces include a full-service salon, a movie theater and an art studio, along with a full social calendar of activities and gatherings for residents. Wellness services are available to residents throughout the week as part of their care plan, and staff can describe how those services are scheduled around meals and activities.
