Blair Boynton the admin, was extremely rude and unprofessional when I called earlier. It's fine to tell people you aren't interested in having a conversation but there is a certain way to go about it as a leader and professional, she may need some additional training on her communication style as she could very well be a liability to the Denver Sunset reputation.

I s p ent 3 days here recuperating. The staff was professional and polite. I found nursing to be very helpful dietary be varied and tasty, the home took good care of me and was well versed with Medicare taking care of a lot of confusion for me. It's clean, pleasant, and friendly at Denver Sunset Home.

They are very good with the residents and keep families up to date with changes. My one concern would be that if they are short help in the morning breakfast doesn't get served until after 1000. That is too late when lunch is at noon.
