COVENANT VILLAGE OF COLORADO DEBUTS $350,000 RENOVATION OF HEALTH CARE NEIGHBORHOODS

Covenant Village of Colorado recently opened the doors on a $350,000 floor-to-ceiling renovation of assisted living, memory support, rehab and health care.

The retirement community’s renovation ushers in a comforting ambiance to the public areas of the building. The changes begin at the front door where a quiet, self-opening door welcomes you into the renovated lobby. Hardwood-look floors, carpeted seating areas and custom millwork establish the comforting residential ambiance that’s the signature of the renovation.

“This is more than a facelift,” says Brenda Hancock, health care administrator at Covenant Village of Colorado. “We used this renovation to address the needs of residents while creating the conversation and activity areas that build community. With what seemed like simple changes, we’ve created areas where people can visit, talk, socialize and participate — all the activities that build community.”

New spaces in assisted living

In assisted living, professional space planning and decorating provide subtle support for residents who need a little help with activities of daily living. A stone-faced fireplace and built-in saltwater aquarium offer entertaining backdrops to seating areas that facilitate conversation and activity. A cheery library features high hat lighting to ensure good reading light and comfortable armchairs that are easy to get in and out of. 

Model assisted living residences demonstrate the options available to those who choose assisted living at Covenant Village.

Residential ambiance in rehab & health care

The residential ambiance continues in the rehab and health care center. Again, creative space planning used new furnishings and accent pieces to create conversation areas with comfortable seating. A table with infused water and snacks gives the feeling of an upscale hotel. A new puzzle table is a hit with residents. The center’s hallmark finches, doves and canaries have a new home where they will continue to entertain guests and residents.

A new activity room with a kitchenette as well as general activity, conversation and TV centers is successfully luring residents to share the camaraderie of the community.
