Seniors living with dementia need more than just a comfortable home. They need care that helps them stay safe and engaged every day. Assisted living with dementia care at Stoneridge at Centerra in Loveland, Colorado, provides that balance, combining comfort, structure, and compassionate support for every resident.

Loveland provides residents with the ideal setting for their retirement years. Located just 46 miles north of Denver, it's got mountains, lakes, and lush forests. Whether your loved one needs assisted living or assisted living with dementia care, we can help.

This guide explains the differences between independent and assisted living, the role of memory care, and how Stoneridge at Centerra offers personalized help through daily routines, activities, and meaningful connections.

What Is the Average Cost of Assisted Living in Colorado?

When families begin looking into assisted living with dementia care, cost is often one of the first questions. In Colorado, most assisted living communities range between $4,500 and $9,500 per month. The price depends on care needs, apartment size, and amenities.

Dementia care services may cost a bit more because they include extra safety features and specially trained caregivers. Still, many families find it worthwhile because it gives their loved ones:

  • Personalized attention each day

  • A safe and structured routine

  • Programs that support memory and confidence

The best communities also include meals, activities, and wellness programs in one simple monthly cost.

Where Is the Best Environment to Put Someone with Dementia?

The best environment for someone with dementia is not a hospital or nursing home. It's a calm, welcoming setting designed for safety and independence. Dementia-friendly housing allows seniors to stay active while still receiving help when needed.

At Stoneridge at Centerra, residents live in private apartments with friendly caregivers nearby at all hours. They enjoy social time, wellness programs, and activities that keep the mind and body engaged. The staff provides reminders and support when needed, allowing residents to feel capable and at home.

This type of combined care service gives families peace of mind, knowing their loved one is in a supportive and secure environment.

Independent Living vs. Assisted Living

Understanding the difference between independent and assisted living is important:

  • Independent living is for seniors who can handle most of their daily activities on their own but want a maintenance-free lifestyle.

  • Assisted living offers help with things like bathing, dressing, meals, and medication reminders.

  • Assisted living with dementia care adds another level of help, as it includes memory support in assisted living to ensure residents with memory loss get consistent care.

This structure means seniors can stay in the same community, even as their needs change over time.

How Memory Care Helps Seniors With Dementia

Memory care is designed for seniors with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia. It provides a safe and predictable routine with trained caregivers who understand memory loss.

At Stoneridge at Centerra, memory care is part of daily life. Residents enjoy familiar activities, gentle reminders, and supportive care that builds confidence.

Each person's care plan is customized. This helps them stay comfortable, active, and emotionally connected. Our approach allows seniors to live with dignity while receiving the attention they need in a warm, family-like community.

  • Safe, easy-to-navigate spaces designed for dementia care

  • Daily structure and gentle routines
