Honoring Your Loved One’s Life Story in Littleton
Our 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.
The Cottage is a small neighborhood in our community that’s all about making every moment count, focusing on the present, and enhancing seniors’ quality of life. We’re conveniently located near AdventHealth Littleton and multiple parks, offering families peace of mind and frequent opportunities to visit. Many residents spent decades along the South Platte River trails, taught at Heritage High School, or shopped along Historic Main Street long before the Denver suburbs expanded around them. Our team takes the time to learn what made each person’s life here their own and draws on that in everyday care.
Purpose-built Alzheimer’s and dementia care. Comprehensive support. A place where your loved one can feel comfortable again.
What Makes Our Approach to Dementia Care Different
We understand how challenging dementia can be for families. 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 — many of whom have lived in Littleton their entire lives, and others who have moved here over the past few decades to build their careers and families — caregivers learn each person’s preferences and life story to provide support that feels familiar and reassuring.
A resident who volunteered as a soccer coach at Cornerstone Park, or who still brightens up when someone mentions dollar movies at Elvis Cinemas, gives our team a genuine starting point. We pay close attention to those details because they shape how we communicate and what helps each person feel grounded.
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.

“StoneCreek has not just been a tiny light but multiple dazzling floodlights, surrounding us with support, engulfing us in love, and making a difficult time so much easier.
The design is brilliant, especially in memory care, ensuring that our father is never off on his own, wandering down lonely hallways.
There aren’t enough words to communicate what a blessing the Memory Care Director has been. She’s gone the extra mile on numerous occasions for our father, finding ways to speak to his heart and bring to life the parts of him that are buried deep inside. Her very presence helps to ground him and set him at ease.
The entire memory care staff has made him feel loved, cared for, and ‘at home’ right from the start. They are regularly joking with him and have him moving around, playing games, crafting, painting, creating, reading, smiling, laughing, eating (his favorite), and even dancing!
The love and support they have shown him (and us!) has made a world of difference.
