“I'm very pleased here. We have a very good independent living, and the person who does the activities works very hard and is very nice. Whenever I call maintenance with a problem, they are always here. I would recommend it.”

“I'm very happy. My husband had been in two other facilities that I wasn't happy with, but I am happy here. Management has been very present and helpful. The dining is very good with a good variety, and housekeeping does a good job and is consistent. I'm there every day, and if I notice something, I talk to whoever's in charge and it gets taken care of. The nurses are very caring and very patient.”

“My dad is really happy with the dining, and there's a good variety on the menu. They have really good activities, and he participates in quite a few of them; there's a lot to offer. Housekeeping cleans up pretty well, the laundry comes back on time, and maintenance is pretty solid. The nursing staff is really on top of things. He feels very safe, and I would definitely recommend it.”

“My mother lives at this community and it makes me feel good about the fact that she is surrounded by people all the time who are trying to give her the best quality of life. The staff is all fantastic and helpful and they have so much going on to keep the residents busy if they want to participate. The food here is also wonderful. It is like eating out at a nice restaurant. In fact, we actually opted to doing our Thanksgiving meal here because it would be better than anything we could make at home. Her apartment also always looks fantastic and the staff is just amazing. They let me know exactly what is going on which makes me feel like I have a good look into what her life is like. Overall, we are getting what we are paying for and while the price is high it is worth it.”

Elizabeth HughesFamily member · Mom lives here · Aug 2024
★★★★★

“This community is gorgeous. It doesn't look like a senior living place. It looks like a high end apartment.The management staff keep us informed of everything and they are attentive to everything we ask for and the healthcare staff actually care about her. Anytime there is something I need to know the staff let me know and they are absolutely respectful. In regards to the dining, every time I have eaten there the food has been great. The servers are nice and they remember who my mom is and what she likes to drink. My mom loves all of the activities and she uses the transportation for everything and it works out perfect. I don't have to take off work to take her to a doctor's appointment. I already have recommended it several times. I would just say that I would recommend any person that is considering putting their parent in any type of senior living that this is the place to go. They can go from independent living to assisted living to memory care and they don't have to move. The people are there and they care and the owners show up. Most owners of these facilities don't show up for functions. The people are geniuine and really care about the people that live there. My mom loves being there and she is so happy.”

Karen BellofattoFeb 2024
★★★★★

“They are responsive to her needs and to myself. Mom is in memory care and they try to stimulate her. They try to do social things like take them to lunch and have little parties for them. They do a good job with the maintenance and housekeeping, her place is usually real clean. They are all very caring and very personal with her.”

Mardra TracySep 2023
★★★★★

“My mother lives at the community and they're providing the type of 24/7 care that most people couldn't do one on one. The community is well maintained and well staffed. Nutritional needs are met and they're willing to assist people that need help with their food. They take people out on road trips, day drives, park trips and restaurants, and they have group activities in the common area. They do a good job of keeping the laundry together and it's done on schedule. The common areas are kept clean and clear, and the appearance outside looks really good. The care staff provide the residents with the attention and care they need. Mom feels safe and comfortable there.”

Elizabeth HughesFamily member · Mother lives here · Aug 2023
★★★★★

“We are very lucky to have them there and close to us. One thing that really impressed me with the management at this community is that my parents moved in in February 2020 so they had an idea of what their retirement world would look like but of course it didn't look like that because COVID hit. I was so impressed how they just kept pivoting. I just was so impressed that every time a new challenge was thrown at them they kept working to try to do their very best to make the situation as positive as they could for the residents.”

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 115 residents; larger residences are visited and report events more often, so read counts with size in mind.
