Golden Memory Care

In the heart of Colorado, Golden Pond offers a safe haven for those journeying through the uncharted waters of dementia and memory loss. We embrace the philosophy that every individual is unique, full of life, and deserving of respect, warmth, and compassion.

"The location is great, right at the foot of the mountains and the amenities inside and outside for the residents (walking paths, art classes, etc.) have made it feel more like home for our loved ones."

Michelle Silliman

"Everyone we have met at Golden Pond has been personable and has accommodated any of our needs. We appreciate everything they have done to get my mother in law comfortable and situated in her new home. She is the happiest I have seen her in a long time.
