My mom lived at Cherrywood for 2 years and 2 months. We were very satisfied with the care she received. The caregivers are kind and caring and really do want the best for their residents. They are special people who really have a calling to work with the elderly. The activities program is top notch and the activities staff is amazing. There are multiple activities for residents every day and special activities for holidays. Daily activities include games and crafts that are thoughtful and clever and fun for residents. There are also music performances by local musicians several times a week (singing, piano, violin, groups, and many other). There are presentations and story tellers. Also, the food was good and the chef is great! My mom loved the housemade desserts as well as the regular meals. They also accomodated her special diet and care about their residents nutrition. The nurses on staff were also caring and helpful. The building is gorgeous and does feel like home. It is beautifully decorated and the resident rooms and bathrooms are nice. The facilities director was also very helpful and easy to work with. There are two nice outside courtyards with beautiful flowers and plants that change throughout the seasons. Before my mom lived at Cherrywood, she lived 2 years at another local facility. The difference was night and day - Cherrywood was a much more positive and nurturing environment with a much more professional and caring staff than the first place she lived. I am so glad that my mom was able to spend two years there. We really appreciated the staff and our mom's time there.

Desirae is exceptional—compassionate, responsive, and deeply empathetic. Her knowledge, kindness, and calm professionalism come through in every interaction, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about helping others. She is a true asset to Balfour communities and the families they serve.

I have parents at the Balfour Cherrywood. I have been most impressed by the team of caregivers at this memory care residence. In comparison, I have toured several other facilities in another state, and also have direct experience with my parents who previously lived in other lesser facilities in Colorado. And, I can say the caregivers and management at Cherrywood are high-quality, caring individuals. The vibe and culture are very positive. In addition, the building itself is well laid out and pleasant, has nice community spaces as well as a secure outdoor area.

How our free service works, and how we are paid

Colorado asks us to share this with you in writing before we introduce you to a community.

MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps you find senior living. We are paid by our participating communities: if you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee. You never pay us anything.

We do not own or manage any community, and none owns us. Our only ties to the communities we list are the referral agreements that pay us and the listing upgrades some buy. A community that pays us is marked Partner or Sponsored on our site, and a community that has bought verification is marked Verified.

The communities we suggest may not be every one in your area, and we can only make introductions to communities that work with us. We suggest communities by the care you need, the area, your timeline and budget, and what families say about them, never by what a community pays us. If a community stops meeting our qualifications, for example its licence lapses or it stops accepting referrals, we stop suggesting it.

To make an introduction we share your name, contact details and the care needs you told us about, and nothing else. You can stop using our service at any time, for any reason and at no cost, and if you do we will let any community we introduced you to know.
