VTBS Architects has designed a new tri-level continuum of care facility with a dramatic view of Steamboat Ski Mountain to the east, Casey\u2019s Pond to the west and bordered on the south by Burgess Creek. The design represents mountain architecture and utilizes the existing water features by integrating them into the site design.<\/p>\n

The three progressive levels of care and independent living allow for multiple living arrangements.\u00a0 More independent retirees may stay in their own units while a loved one is helped in another area, and where they can be a part of each other\u2019s daily activities without having to exit the complex and experience the extreme climate conditions of Colorado.\u00a0 Memory care, located on the second level, involves an outdoor garden area protected from the elements to facilitate year-round use in a safe and secure environment.<\/p>\n

Within the skilled nursing component VTBS created three \u2018neighborhoods\u2019 to reduce the impersonal and negative impact of large dining halls and to allow for more intimate fellowship among the inhabitants, assisting in socialization and encouraging multiple activities.\u00a0 Residents may enjoy a meal in other neighborhoods or partake in the meal preparation activities if they choose.\u00a0 Residents are offered a multitude of dining experiences from formal dining to casual outdoor fare.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
