Reputation 800 Award Winner, 2026

Montessori Inspired Lifestyle® Bronze Level Certification

The Ridge Pinehurst earned a Bronze Level credential from the Montessori Inspired Lifestyle® program created by the Center for Applied Research in Dementia. Communities effectively using Montessori principles benefit from healthier and happier residents, fewer drugs, fewer responsive behaviors, more satisfied families, and better staffing and census (Witt-Hoblit, Miller, & Camp, 2016).

We are proud to be one of only two communities in the state of Colorado to earn this distinction.
