Windsong at Northridge (Opening Spring 2018)

WindSong at Northridge is a Memory Care Community located in beautiful Greeley, Colorado. We have adopted the Montessori Inspired Lifestyle® as our signature method for delivering exceptionally high quality of life for our residents. This program focuses on activities and everyday interactions as a means to reconnect persons with dementia to the outside world. The goal is to create an environment that supports independence and functioning at the highest possible level. This is done through group activities that residents plan, create and implement. This is also done through individual self-care activities. We provide the residents with the opportunity to actively participate in what happens in their own lives.

It is often assumed that a person with a dementia diagnosis is unable to have new experiences, maintain relationships, or to care for themselves at all. This is simply untrue. They have been told that they “can’t” and have been defined by their limitations. The staff at WindSong at Northridge works to defy these misconceptions by enabling their residents rather than further disabling them. They consider what the individual “can” do, and then provide them the opportunity to do it. When an individual with dementia is able to actively participate in experiences and enjoy their successes, their self-esteem increases, and they enjoy a sense of accomplishment. This allows residents to reconnect with a world they’re losing access to and is a source of comfort to them and their loved ones.
