“It's amazing to me that so many employees have been here for 30 years or more, and that says so much about the community and its managers. Management really cares about the people who live here and their families, and they're very professional. My dad loves to eat, and they always make sure he gets enough. He always gets his own clothes back. I love the maintenance people, and the nurses are spectacular and quick to let us know if anything happens. I have referred many people here.”

“We chose this community because of the honesty and understanding we found on the tour, and their ability to make things happen. Everyone is accessible, and when we call, someone takes the phone to my mom so we can talk. She cleans her plate every time and helps with the dishes. She loves the exercise, is proud of her craft projects, and calls everybody her sweetheart. Her room is always spick and span, and the common areas are clean and smell good. I've already recommended it, and the peace we have knowing Mom is there is immeasurable.”

“It's been a lifesaver for both of us. I looked at six or seven places, and this was without question the right place for my wife. Management is engaging and very organized, and it always feels comfortable to go out there. Housekeeping is completely on top of things. The longtime maintenance man fixes things within an hour or two. The caregivers are so sweet, and every one of them knows my wife. The outdoor area is great, and I've never seen a room as nice as hers. I have recommended it, 100%.”

Rita AxfordApr 2026
★★★★★

“It's a top-notch facility. As a guardian three hours away, every time I spoke to somebody on the phone or by email, everything was great, and the director was always very helpful and easy to reach. They accommodate particular diets, offer activities every day and encourage residents to join in. The room I visited was nice and clean, and the whole facility was clean and beautiful. I'm very likely to recommend it.”

“My mother is at the community and the management helped us so much with getting her into the community and they made the transition really nice. The fact that they have a doctor on site was just a lifesaver for us. Also, my mother likes the food there and when she wants to do an activity, there is something available for her to do. Lastly, the care staff seem very aware of what is going on. When I go in, they are there being attentive and taking care of the patients.”

“Mom lives at this communtiy and I have already recommended it to people. Management is responsive, they know what is going on, they keep a close eye on the people they work with, and the staff diversity means a lot to us. They have a lot of activities and what they offer is good. Her unit is kept clean and her bed gets made. Maintenance staff have assisted in the past and they're great. They have a doctor on staff as well as nurses and that's priceless. Mom feels safe and comfortable there.”

“I'm thrilled to death with having my dad there. I regularly share that with all of my friends and neighbors. From the minute we stepped into the place, it was seamless and encouraging. They were compassionate, but at the same time very businesslike. They seem to have varied situations of people that come through for activities and they are very engaging and very excited. They have music and visiting dance troops. Everything is always clean and I've never been there when it didn't look inviting. It is always very pleasant. I just think the whole layout of it is beautiful. It keeps you going in a circle until you get where you need to be.”

Read each citation, its regulation and the plan of correction on the state’s site →

CDPHE: the Find and Compare tool shows “the results of any inspection conducted within the previous 3 years” and “inspection results will include any citations identified during those inspections, the regulation text outlining the requirements or practice(s) to be met, as well as the plan of correction submitted by the provider indicating how the citation was remedied.” Occurrences are events the residence reported to CDPHE itself, as state rules require; CDPHE: “An occurrence can be a number of different events that are self-reported by healthcare providers.” A report is not a finding that the residence did something wrong. A revisit is a follow-up visit to check that earlier citations were corrected; CHOW means a change of ownership. CDPHE often combines a routine inspection and a complaint investigation in one visit, so such a visit counts as both. The rule area shown with each citation is our plain reading of CDPHE’s own abbreviated title. This residence is licensed for 52 residents; larger residences are visited and report events more often, so read counts with size in mind.
