Honoring Your Loved One’s Life Story in Colorado Springs, CO
Our Colorado Springs memory care team reminds older adults with memory loss due to Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia of two things every day: they are important, and they matter.
Colorado Springs has been home to military families, aerospace workers, and outdoor enthusiasts for generations; it draws in people who value service, structure, and the kind of community that forms around shared purpose. For instance, many residents spent careers tied to the bases, raised families near Peterson or the Academy, and built their lives here with the Rockies in the background. Our team takes time to learn that history and bring it into daily care.
At StoneCreek of Flying Horse, we’re dedicated to enriching seniors’ lives through personalized dementia care. The Cottage is a small neighborhood in our community that’s all about making every moment count, focusing on the present, and enhancing the quality of life for residents receiving long-term Alzheimer’s care in Colorado Springs.
Our Approach to Local Dementia Care
We understand how challenging dementia can be for families, especially with the special health care needs of our town’s high elevation. That’s why our team receives ongoing training in person-centered dementia care, featuring Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach to Care (PAC). This method helps caregivers understand how dementia affects communication, behavior, and daily routines so they can respond with patience and respect.
By building consistent relationships with residents, caregivers learn each person’s preferences and life story to provide support that feels familiar and reassuring.
Someone who spent decades living by a military schedule, who still responds to the rhythms of a structured day, or who lights up when they talk about Pikes Peak gives our team a real foundation. That kind of personal knowledge shapes how we care for each resident.
Families gain confidence and relief knowing their loved one is supported by people who truly understand dementia care. We partner with families every step of the way, offering guidance, communication, and reassurance throughout the journey.
- Secure memory care neighborhood
- 24/7 trained caregivers specializing in dementia support
- Assistance with daily routines and medication management
- Personalized care plans with quarterly reviews
- Housekeeping and laundry
- Scheduled transportation

Learn More About Why Families Trust StoneCreek for Memory Care in Colorado Springs
Families often look to others’ experiences when exploring dementia care options. At StoneCreek of Flying Horse, we’re grateful that residents and loved ones consistently share kind words about our team and community. Their feedback demonstrates the welcoming atmosphere and attentive care families find here.
“My mother needed to go into memory care about a year ago. StoneCreek is a nice, clean [community], but more importantly, the staff was wonderful with her throughout her time there. They were especially compassionate with her and with us (the family) when she went to hospice care. We were able to keep her at StoneCreek and have the hospice nurses come in, so the same people who cared for her during the past year were there to help at the end. They’re all wonderful people.“

“We had to make the difficult decision to move our mom into memory care, and we toured many places around town. We finally decided StoneCreek was the best fit for our mom. The staff in the memory care took excellent care of her, and she really enjoyed them. They genuinely cared about her and always kept us in the loop. Some even went above and beyond, out of their way, to make sure she was okay, and they always treated us like they’d known us for years. I wouldn’t hesitate to choose StoneCreek of Flying Horse if you have a need for memory care for a loved one.”
