Broomfield, Colorado, is a suburb of Denver, in the northwest part of the metro area. It’s nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, ideal for nature lovers to hike, ski or enjoy the crisp mountain air. With more than 8,000 acres of open public space and 280 miles of walking and biking trails, active seniors have plenty of options for outdoor fun. The 1st Bank Center is a popular location for plays, musicals, and concerts. Broomfield’s senior population is about 14% of its 74,000 residents, and many may be looking at their long-term care choices, including assisted living.
Assisted living communities, which average $5,100 per month in Broomfield, offer seniors apartment-style living with personal care available around the clock. Meals are included, plus maintenance and light housekeeping and linen services, removing many of the burdens of homeownership. These communities often have different amenities for seniors, including pools, scheduled social activities, fitness centers and a library.
This guide covers the cost of senior care, including assisted living, plus some features of the Broomfield community that seniors should consider about living here. At the end are free resources for seniors and their families.

I went to the Legend of Broomfield yesterday. I was impressed with the facility until I talked to two residents and their families, and then I found out that things were not as they appear to be. There’s been a significant increase in rent about 18% in the last year, a high staff turnover, and dissatisfaction with being able to get answers to the questions and concerns. So, it won’t be on my list at this point in time. It was homey in the assisted living, but there was a marked change between the assisted living portion and the memory care portion. I met one employee and she was friendly. The housekeeping staff was outstanding. Unfortunately, the residents were all in front of televisions. They have standard apartments, salon and courtyard. I liked the walk-in spa/tub, and there was a gym.

Bonaventure of Thornton has really gone down hill in the nearly 2.5 years they’ve been open. Once a premier facility with top notch employees, they currently run so short staffed and tend to hire extremely inexperienced individuals. Most new hires do not stay for long and many don’t show up for a second or third shift. Apartments are supposed to be cleaned weekly, which now consists of the floor getting vacuumed with no bathroom cleaning, no dusting, no surfaces cleaned…
The food is generally not very good and the meals are repetitive.
Don’t let the unqualified directors or the pretty building fool you, there is a reason they have extremely high turnover and unhappy residents. Yes, they have a pub and cafe that aren’t opened, a bowling alley that is seldom open and no activity director or working air conditioning in the vans.
Services that are supposed to be provided as outlined in the care plan are often not provided, yet the resident still pays for these services. With the prices Bonaventure of Thornton charges and the minimal staff they employ, they must make a killing.
Do better Bonaventure. You owe it to the residents.

For the past few years, I had been helping my aunt who lived 6 states away. During COVID she had been alone in her room and was mentally, physically, and emotionally deteriorating. I brought her to Colorado and researched local small homes near me and found Karambi. She was their first client and transitioned very well. Since she had direct supervision, she was fed better, her medical needs were seen quickly, she was groomed regularly, her behaviors were monitored closely. The home was always clean and orderly. There was always capable staff on site, and they were always interacting with the clients. My aunt was spry and cantankerous, but also had an ornery fun-loving spirit. Fran and the staff at Karambi were able to draw out the better parts of my aunt and she started to come alive again! She was mentally more alert, her mood improved, she was physically more active, she spoke more, she ate more, she watched stimulating tv shows, sang easy fun songs, played swift card games, worked fun puzzles, thumbed through magazines and small books, and got out of her room more. She went out on a few walks/wheelchair adventures. She enjoyed prayer, talking and singing about Jesus. Being in the small home with direct supervision gave me a better peace of mind and she wasn’t lost in the cracks which happens often to seniors in larger facilities, especially when they have independent private rooms! Karambi wasn’t just a good fit, I also felt confident that with the owner, Fran’s drive, she could handle overseeing my aunt’s welfare and daily living needs. I was so glad to find Fran and Karambi. Her loving and supportive nature helped my aunt thrive and get back her good parts in life she missed out on for a while.

My relative is a resident of Rocky Mountain Assisted Living & Memory Care-Thornton. It’s nice and the help is good. He has his own room, they wash his clothes every day, make his bed, and I’m happy with the service he’s getting. They go on outings, they watched the Chicagos last week, and they took them to have a hamburger and pizza. A couple of weeks before they went to a tea company and were shown how they make their tea. They’re trying to take them out as much as they can because he’s in memory care. The doors are locked. They also have people come into the facility, like there’s like a guy with a guitar. As far as the amenities go, they’re fine. I have my favorite employees; there’s a lady I really like, and she takes good care of them.

My relative is a resident of Rocky Mountain Assisted Living & Memory Care-Thornton. It’s nice and the help is good. He has his own room, they wash his clothes every day, make his bed, and I’m happy with the service he’s getting. They go on outings, they watched the Chicagos last week, and they took them to have a hamburger and pizza. A couple of weeks before they went to a tea company and were shown how they make their tea. They’re trying to take them out as much as they can because he’s in memory care. The doors are locked. They also have people come into the facility, like there’s like a guy with a guitar. As far as the amenities go, they’re fine. I have my favorite employees; there’s a lady I really like, and she takes good care of them.
