The Arvada Locations are managed very well by the House Managers, clean and respectful staff. The Lakewood location is horrible, it has definitely been overlooked by upper management . The home is so dirty, the residents don’t look showered, the little staff they have is not trained.<br>If you choose this company choose the Arvada Locations and stay away from the Lakewood home.

Please don't take a parent or family member here. I've worked in the industry for years and I've never seen anything so horrific. And transparent, they're not. Any positive feedback on here had to have been written by the owner (who will never respond to concerns)or personal friend .

My mother moved to Applewood Our House in September 2024. The dog Dolly was a selling point and the entire philosophy of the "old dog"... Sadly my mother experienced a fast decline from independence to assisted living to memory care in what I will call "turbo Parkinsons". The personalized attention and care plans that AOH set forth were impressive. Also in paying attention to how the other residents were cared for helped to show me that my Mom would be in good hands. My regret is that I didnt find AOH sooner, she spent 3months at a facility which was not a fit and she declined. On the night that my momma passed away, the house dog, Dolly went into her room to sit vigil with her until she passed and then also stayed by her side until coroner came. My MomCat was my first best friend, am still not sure how this world looks without her in it.

I love recommending my clients to Applewood. I do Senior Placements and I work with all the memory care places in the Denver metro area. Applewood never disappoints me or my clients. Their care is fantastic. I highly recommend them!
