Canvas by Vi, our hallmark memory support program, provides care that treats every resident not just as a patient, but as a whole person. Our compassionate approach helps each resident live their most remarkable retirement in a way that meets their personal and independent needs.
Our integrative approach to memory care creates an exceptionally warm, forward-looking experience.
Vi’s commitment to highest standard of care begins with a team of compassionate experts. Our staff completes training, certification and ongoing development in close collaboration with the Alzheimer’s Association to ensure that we’re evolving with the cutting edge of memory care.
We get to know every resident as a person—their interests, hobbies, preferences, history and day-to-day life—to provide care and support that’s anything but cookie-cutter.
Our memory support staff meets with family members and creates a customized care plan with specialized programs and services designed to meet each resident’s unique needs.
In addition to this person-centered care approach, we offer a range of services and amenities, including daily housekeeping service and laundering of bed and bath linens.
Even meal time is designed to be easier for memory support residents, with carefully selected, easy-to-handle menu items and tablecloths, napkins and tableware in contrasting colors to decrease confusion. Plus, all meals are prepared with care under the supervision of our executive chef.
We offer a variety of activities designed to engage memory support residents:
- Walking, dancing and structured exercises to maintain muscle strength and flexibility
- Montessori Method–based activities to support motor skills and concentration, as well as build self-esteem
- Social hours for residents to share memories, tell stories and reminisce
- Scheduled outings and activities
Vi at Highlands Ranch helps families with educational resources to help them learn about dementia and how it will affect their loved ones. Our care center can also refer families to area support groups.
Each private residential suite features a Life Story box to help residents identify their rooms and reminisce about their lives daily.
Common areas are designed to foster daily connections, stimulate memory and offer meaningful experiences: A comfortable great room encourages social interaction among residents and their families, and two patio spaces allow residents to enjoy the familiar sights and sounds of the outdoors.
Fees for continuing care residents
Residents who are contracted with Vi for continuing care will continue to pay their independent living monthly fee after moving to our care center. Monthly fees do not change when residents move to a higher level of care, but ongoing, community-wide fee increases will continue to apply. There are charges for ancillary items and additional meals received while in our care center.
Fees for spouses who remain in independent living
If a resident and their spouse are both contracted for continuing care and only one requires a higher level of care, one spouse will remain in independent living while the other moves to our care center. Both residents will continue to pay the monthly fee paid while residing in independent living. Their monthly fees will not change because of a move to a higher level of care, but ongoing, community-wide monthly fee increases will continue to apply. In addition, there are charges for ancillary items and additional meals received while in our care center.
