I was dared to review this place. I know absolutely nothing about it.

Long-term residents and families report years of positive experiences, though a handful of reviews raise concerns about food quality, maintenance, and one serious complaint about care and safety.

We cannot say enough good things about Brookdale University Park. It was our mother's home the final 2-1/2 years of her life, first in her beautiful independent living apartment, with its view of both the Rockies and downtown Denver, and later, following a decline in her heath and physical capabilities, in a lovely assisted living studio apartment. We did not know what to expect when we moved her to assisted living, but we soon came to realize our mom was in the place she was supposed to be. Overseen by Rosalie Corral, the Health and Wellness Director, and Ana Ramirez, Rosalie's right-hand person, the entire AL staff and the housekeeping staff, provided excellent, personalized care and kind attention that demonstrated to use every day that our mom was being care for by people who treated her as they would want their own family member to be care for. On the afternoon our mom passed away, when we pushed her call button for the final time, every member of the AL staff who was available came to Mom's bedside. Rosalie had a job to do, but everyone else just came in to say their final goodbyes and to be there for us. There were many hugs and tears. It meant so much to us to know that our mom was so loved. Thank you Brookdale University Park.

Brookdale has been a good fit for my dad for nearly nine years. He lived at the Tamarac facility until January 2025 at which time my family agreed that he needed a bit of supervision, and so we moved him to the assisted living section at University Park. University Park is a bright and cheery place and makes a good first impression. Dad is very comfortable in his studio apartment. There is a built-in desk area, a bathroom with walk-in shower, a refrigerator and two windows which overlook an outdoor sitting area. We were able to bring in a surprising amount of his furniture, including his double bed. He is just steps away from the dining room, and the food is more than ample. The staff are all cordial, and they treat Dad with respect. They come in daily to put on and take off his compression socks, and he gets weekly laundry service and a change of bedding. Dad takes part in a morning exercise program, and other activities are available. In nice weather, one staffer takes residents to an outdoor patio for a ball-toss game. Some residents enjoy watching television on a big screen TV in the lobby, and occasionally entertainment groups come to perform. The assisted living area—staff and residents—are very much a family. All work together for the common good. I frequently stop in and chat with the manager, who is always welcoming. Someone is available 24/7 in case emergency situations arise. All Dad needs to do is press the call button around his neck. In recent weeks, his health has declined, and so we decided to bring in hospice care, and Brookdale is fine with that. They work with several different hospice agencies here in Denver. Dad will be able to stay where he is, and hospice services will come to him. No relocation is necessary. We are all pleased that Dad is where he is. Thank you, Brookdale!
