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.
