Cappella at Grand Junction

My Dad just moved in to Capellas. I have to say Barbara, Theresa , all the nurses and the kitchen staff are so kind and caring to my Dad!! He's struggling with losing his independence and it's been hard for him. They are so understanding! I love going there and they know me by name! I told my Dad they make me feel like family!! Thank you for taking good care of the most important person in my life!!

i feel very fortunate to have found Cappella for my father in law. my cousin found Cappella for her mother and soon after her father joined… she highly encouraged me to join the support group and through the support group, i found a beautiful group of family members that i had lots in common with. Very soon after, my father in law had an incident at another memory support facility where he was put in a very dangerous situation. Cappella took him right in to their facility. i have never felt so relieved to not have to worry about my father in laws safety.Cappella has so much knowledge about dementia and they are so supportive with their patients…. they know his needs and they work with him. i can’t imagine not having Cappella here for support!! Thank you! 😊❤️🙏

My wife was found to have Alzheimer’s several years ago and I went to a number of support/educational groups to try to learn what we were in for, how to care for her, myself and our 16 year old daughter still at home. I finally found Cappella's and have really started learning things that I can use!! Cappella’s support group meets monthly and the group has been an invaluable source for new meds, services, community resources etc., and Barbara is a wealth of information. What a great time of camaraderie and cookies!!! Cappella’s also facilitates Knowledge at Noon monthly which includes lunch and a seminar/presentation typically by a local vendor, covering a topic relevant to us Caregivers. We have learned about Medicare, the PACE program, keeping our person safe at home and my personal favorite, the SPECAL Method which has changed my whole perspective as a caregiver! Memory Cafe is another great service Cappella’s provides. This is a dinner once a month for Caregivers and their person to get out and enjoy the companionship of others going through the same things so no need for embarrassment or stress. By the way, the meal is first class too! All of these are provided at no charge as a way to help us deal with the changes with our loved one, and I look forward to these every month. If you want a surprise, ask for a tour of the facility. Cappella’s has different levels of care available in a very modern, bright and airy environment. Since my first visit I was impressed with how clean everything was, how friendly the staff is and how it feels more like a luxury hotel than a care facility. My favorite part?? No noxious smells!!! Thank you Cappella’s!! Thank you Barbara!!

My experience with Capella is rather limited so far. My only involvement has been attending the memory care dinners and the caregiver support group. That said, they have both been supportive and helpful. Barbara has been a great hostess and has done a fantastic job of organizing and carrying out these functions as well as the Knowledge at Noon. These have been very helpful as far as connecting us folks that have the unfortunate situation of becoming caregivers and gleaning information that is very helpful and supportive in this less than ideal situation.
