We do really like the activities they offer, and the rooms at this community are bright and sunny. However the only drawback with the rooms is they should have some without carpet, because it is hard with wheel chairs. The food is filling and overall pretty good.

Very bad experience with Mother-in-Law in "Memory Care". That's in quotes "" because they are NOT trained to give proper Memory Care/Alzheimer's help, they want you to be understanding and professional but they are NOT. MiL lived there for 5 years. When she became incontinent, the staff called me 4x/week saying "uh, she pooped on the floor again, you need to help us here! uh I'm having to clean this up again. She needs you. You need to help us here!" That's what we pay you $5k-$6k then $7k/month for !!! We found a better, more reasonable place that SPECIALIZES in dementia/Altzheimer's and i gave HighPointe notice on 3 different occassions that we were moving here out on 9/28. Well, guess what? on 10/2 they took a $7k payment for October out of her checking account! They say "well, you never gave us a WRITTEN notice!" We've been fair and understanding with them but they don't respond in a similar fashion. Stay away from HighPointe for Memory Care - it's NOT good and it's VERY expensive.

Mother in law was there for 5 years in Memory Care. Staff on that locked-down 2nd floor were minimally trained. Often called me late at night with "Uh, you MiL needs you." as she's in the background "Help me, come get me, help me". They couldn't handle simple diversion. This place is VERY pricey - when Mom became incontinent her monthly fee went from $5k to over $7k !!!! Then the kicker - we gave notice 3 differnt times that we were moving her out. Moved her out on [date removed] and they dinged her checking account for $7k for OCTOBER! they said "well, you didn't give us WRITTEN notice". Uh - they've been giving medications and etc for the last 5 months withOUT a signed Care Plan (by me) NO signature, no comment of "we have to stop until we get a WRITTEN signature from you". They essentially STOLE the $7k from my MiL. We've been very fair and understanding with them for 5 years (that's approx $360,000 we've paid) and what do they do? Stick us for $7k saying "it wasnt a WRITTEN notice!!!!!!" How sad. How greedy. How UNprofessional! RUN, don't walk AWAY from HighPointe Denver!
