Our Memory Care Director’s Interview with KKTV

​KKTV sat down with our Memory Care Director, Carrie Richards, to talk about the best choices for memory care in Colorado Springs. Carrie has worked in memory care her entire career and has chosen to put her skills to good use with Melody Living’s Colorado Springs retirement community.
 
One of the biggest assets that Melody Living memory care utilizes, is our partnership with Paxxon Healthcare Services. Paxxon Provides on-site occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech therapy. By providing on-site care, Paxxon has the ability to evaluate residents at any point so that concerns can be quickly and efficiently addressed to ensure quality health and effective care for residents.

While families may not always be equipped to notice signs that warrant memory care support or be able to provide for their specialized needs, the Melody Living staff is trained to notice these specific signs and provide the appropriate care needed for each individual. Melody Living memory care facilities provide 24/7 on-site licensed nursing care to ensure each resident is given the highest quality of care possible right here in our community.
 
Finding the right Alzheimer's care or memory care in Colorado Springs can be a scary experience. You want to make sure you find the right fit for your loved one.
 
Melody Living can take a lot of the stress away for both families and residents with medicine reminders, stimulating activities and wellness programs, three meals a day (prepared by a gourmet chef), in addition to our top of the line nursing staff.
 
Carrie loves that families are always visiting and making connections with other residents as well. She says, “Our residents and their families feel like they are staying with extended family while at Melody Living.” Building friendships and creating support groups are key within social wellness which is one of the 8 Dimensions of Wellness that we promote at Melody Living.
