It’s all good while you are in independent living, if you can afford it. But, be careful. a lot of push back when time comes for Assisted Living because they don’t have enough units. I wish my parents were not there as I feel they are NOT living up to their commitment to continuing care. They want you to just jump from independent to skilled nursing. I feel it’s a bait and switch and after paying big $$ to get in, you likely won’t have funds to switch to a different place.

Beautiful facility! I was here for a conference, and both the staff and residents were really friendly. The food was good, and everything was very hospitable. The photo is what you see when you walk out the front doors. Bonus tip: Pay attention to the art on the walls. One of the residents told me the artwork is on loan from the Denver Art Museum and rotates seasonally.
