Applewood is the greatest assisted living home. All the staff caregivers are so loving and caring about each resident. The food and engaging activities are wonderful. It is wonderful to have such a home environment and not institutional. This truly was the BEST place for my mom during her last year. Highly, highly recommended!

We are eternally grateful for Applewood Our House-Golden. Mom went to Applewood a little over a year ago and recently passed away. The care and love she received there was a great comfort to us. We knew she was safe and getting the care she needed, treated with respect and dignity. Lea was a huge help to us, answering questions as we navigated the stages of mom's decline. Breanna recognized early mom's need to have someone stay with her when she went to bed to ease her anxiety, so a change in her care plan was made. This is just one example of how they constantly observe, evaluate, and adjust as necessary based on the residents' needs. Coco (the resident Labrador retriever) brought comfort to mom. The family planned events were always a lot of fun. I could go on and on. Thank you Lea, Ashley, Lizzy, Brisa, Unity, Breanna, Isreal, Bursa, and Coco for all you did for mom .

This review is about a family (mine) that was actually put back together and given another chance once my husband was completely broken at another Corporate memory care center which will remain nameless in Denver Colorado. Through pure luck, my son was fortunate to get the number of a family owned organization in the Denver area called Applewood Our House in Golden. . My son was able to speak personally to the main director and tell her our long, and very emotional situation which broke not only my husband who in his life before dementia was an extremely intelligent physiology professor at a major University, but the rest of of us as well. My husband at this point was a challenge and very traumatized. Applewood did something that most people could not do or even attempt to do and that is gaining Bill's trust and giving him his dignity back. The entire staff was amazing! I realized when we were there with him in his last 24 hours that they had made him feel like he was part of a family and there was actually a lot of joy in his life, even though he was struggling with that cruel, hideous disease. My entire life I will never stop thinking about Lea, Ashley their teams and all the others involved in Bill's daily life and what they did for him. They helped put us all back together after that hellish experience he had in his first facility. We were all pretty broken and they not only made Bill's life easier and treated him with kindness, continually looking for activities to challenge him , foods he enjoyed, music and movies he enjoyed and anything else that might help gain his trust that they were there to help him and bring some joy and happiness.back into his daily life, especially when we were not able to be there. By being able to do this, they brought the joy back into our lives too. When he started to escalate we were (my 2 adult children daughter in law and I were able to spend his Last week with him 24/7 and were able to see first hand how much they cared for him as not just their patient but as a human being as well. They are all incredible at their jobs, because they have the biggest hearts I have ever seen In any group of people and they always seemed to know exactly what to do or they would work to figure out new strategies when needed. Their empathy along with an abundance of care and understanding makes what they did do day in and day out so successful along with the fact they are all a lot of fun and create such a positive and warm atmosphere which I could feel the moment I walked in the door. We will never forget what they did for my husband and for the rest of us. I was told over and over again by Lea that some day when she called me to talk about Bill I would not automatically expect something negative as that is all I had been use to before Finding Applewood Our House. She was right and Inwas finally able to smile when Insaw her caller ID. 4 days before Bill died we went to visit and were able to spend time with him outside which he loved. (Another thing they tried to make happen for him as often as they could.) All of a sudden, his eyes were clear and he smiled and told my daughter who had just gotten there from Seattle, "Hi"which was his first understandable word to anyone in quite a while. He smiled so large and his blue eyes were clear as a bell . He gave my son a big hug and patted the back of his head like he did when he was little. For over an hour we walked around the backyard and he smiled from ear to ear every time he looked at us, and kissed us all and listened carefully to our conversations. It was like having him back with us and he knew us all, my son, daughter, daughter in law and myself. Even for the few days he had left, he would smile when ever he saw us. We were all together the moment he died and will never forget Applewood for all they did. Martie Barnes

I know a client in this home and it's a great place. The Home setting is wonderful with a nice backyard. I filled the bird feeder for them. The residents are happy and there are always two caregivers present to watch over them.

My Mother recently became a resident at Applewood Our House in Golden. We are extremely pleased with the care she has received so far. It is a very homey and welcoming community. The house manager and her staff are very dedicated and genuinely care about all the residents. They strive to keep the residents engaged by providing fun activities for them to participate in. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for memory care for a loved one.

I toured the Applewood Our House location in Golden with Malou a few days ago, looking for my mom. Their home is warm and inviting (especially being greeted by Coco, the sweet house dog!), clean, and smelled good. The residents were engaged in an art activity at the time, with nice background music being played. There are many planned outings and activities throughout the year that sound really fun. The caregivers I met were all very sweet. When the time comes for my mom to move from her home, this will be at the top of our list.

I am a transportation driver. I come by the Yank street house frequently The atmosphere is homey. Everyone who works and lives there removes the feeling that it is a secure facility. Coco the dog saunters around saying hello to everyone. When residents are getting ready to depart, there is care in their grooming and appropriate clothing. Upon return they are greeted like family.

The STAFF at Applewood Our House are ALL FANTASTIC!! They always greet me with a smile. They are kind, caring, patient, good cooks, they keep the care facility neat, clean and tidy. They decorate for the holidays, it always looks so cute, very welcoming. They plan fun activities with the residents. "Thankyou ALL", for what you do. Thankyou!! I SO APPRECIATE and want to RECOGNIZE the currant and past care givers that have been a part of Applewood Our House, Golden, these past 2 years. You mean ALOT to me.

I was a house manager at Applewood Our House and I can't say better things. It's a very familial environment to work in. I didn't feel like I ever went to work, but instead went somewhere to enjoy my day. The residents are the best and so is the staff. They really care about everyone that works there. Residents get the highest quality care. 10/10 recommend.

My mother moved into Applewood Our House in Golden about 6 months ago. She needs a caring, secure home and we could not be happier with our choice. The staff is kind, engaged and attentive and there has been little to no turnover, which is one of our most important metrics when judging a quality employer. The food is fresh and appealing. There are activities galore and outings once a week. They also have a house dog, who makes my Mom and the others residents smile and feel like caregivers themselves. We are so glad we found this place and so is my Mom, which is the most important metric of all!

My knowledge of the Applewood houses are a very positive one. Michelle, a house manager, is a very dedicated staff. She, as well as other staff, are caring and take excellant care of the residents served. There is positive communication with the family members of the residents at Applewood. Family is assured that their loved ones are treated with respect and dignity. They know their loved ones are treated as people first and their age related impairments second. The residents are given the opportunity to live and participate in activities that enrich their lives and make every day as full as possible to each individuals own ability. Applewood is a home environment where the residents feel the care and love they deserve. Laura
