  • Lark Springs Description

    If someone you love is experiencing Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia, you probably have many questions and concerns about day-to-day life and where to turn for care. At Lark Springs, a memory care community in Colorado Springs, we can help you find answers and peace of mind.

    Here, life has a distinct sense of purpose. Our compassionate Alzheimer’s and dementia care team members plan activities to meet the needs, abilities and interests of residents. Entertainment such as musical performances, as well as sightseeing and occasional day trips, engage and stimulate residents’ minds while also encouraging physical and social interaction. Many residents also enjoy spiritual activities such as weekly Bible studies, communion, visits from local clergy and worship services on Sundays — welcome to residents of all denominations.

    Our convenient location in a quiet, residential setting affords beautiful views of Palmer Park’s woods, wide open spaces and sandstone bluffs. An expansive outdoor courtyard bordering the park gives memory support residents the freedom to enjoy Colorado Springs’ beautiful seasons while also remaining safe and secure. And because our memory care community is organized around a neighborhood model, residents can easily knock on another neighborhood’s door for a visit or dinner with friends.

    As part of the nonprofit memory care community in Colorado Springs family, Lark Springs provides a senior care environment where residents can embrace each day as it comes and remain as active and engaged as they’re able. We invite you to visit and experience Lark Springs for yourself.
