We have gotten to know the staff at WSMC like family. The respect they have for Lorene and all the residence has touched me. You can see they care, it takes a certain person to work with special people and you can see that this is an extended family for them. Their level of love and support goes above and beyond. The end of life deserves as much care and respect and love as the beginning and we found it. Thanks to all at Western Slope Memory care. The Robinsons

My mother moved into Western Slope Memory Care in April and I cannot say enough great things about the facility and staff! We toured several facilities in the Grand Valley in the Spring and what was scheduled as a 30-minute tour turned into an almost two hour visit with Lucretia. Lucretia took the time to really get to know us and my mother. In addition, she shared so much information to really help us understand what my mother is going through and how to make her life better. At that point, Western Slope was at the top of our list. The entire move-in process went extremely well and Stefanie was (and continues to be) wonderful to work with. In the early and sometimes challenging transition days Stefanie and the entire care team kept the faith and helped us through every step of the way. I cannot overstate how much respect and appreciation I have for the entire care team that works tirelessly day and night to care for every resident. They truly care about the residents and treat them like family. All of the staff at Western Slope is part of the daily care program, from PJ and the rest of the dining services team, who not only prepare great meals but really roll up their sleeves to take care of the residents, to Reina who plans wonderful and creative activities every single day. There is always something fun to do! Kyle masterfully coordinates the front desk and concierge services (and does so much more!) and Sean goes above and beyond maintenance activities to really get to know and care for residents. Western Slope Memory Care is a wonderful care facility! There is a culture of excellence at every level which is evidence of great leadership and hiring exceptional people. The wonderful people working with the residents day to day are a special group. We appreciate them so much and my mother is truly happy at Western Slope.
