Lamar Estates was a very postive experience for both our mother and our family in our time of need. The staff was not only caring and compassionate , but full of personal touches to meet my moms personality! They even took her to the local rodeo♥️ We have since lost her, but treasure the many pictures and friendships from Lamar Estates. I love their big hearts.

Now knownas Lamar Estates in Lamar Colorado. Do not imagine that you will be contacted in time to say good bye to your loved one. Do not imagine that anyone will let you know that the end is near. As the elder child and POA snd executor for my Mother I thought someone would let me know that Mom's time was near, so I could come see her. Did not happen. So sad,

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.
