Assisted Living Communities in Fort Collins, CO

"My mother will be moving into Hillcrest of Loveland. We chose it because of the size. It was a little smaller than the others, and the size of the individual units was bigger and finished a little nicer. She had a full kitchen and granite and tops. It's independent with an option to move to assisted and then memory care so that as she needs more services, we don't have to move her completely to a different facility. They spoke to my mom directly instead of to me. They knew all the residents as we ran into them in the facility and different things about what was going on in their lives. We stayed and had a meal and talked to the residents. The meal we had wasn't fantastic, but we saw what everybody else was having and there were good choices and those looked good, so I'm guessing we just chose the wrong one. The transportation was not limited only to medical care and it was for anything within the limits of Loveland, which was a big deal. Then, they had a wellness center that was staffed regularly. They're not physical therapists, but they have some kind of certification to help the seniors stay active."

"Brookdale Mariana Butte was a very nice facility. It was very well put together. They had a lot of nice activities. The director lady who took us on a tour was fun. The apartments we toured were newly remodeled, so they were very nice. They had a refrigerator, a microwave, and a stovetop. The staff was very animated and full of energy and positivity. There was also nothing dirty or off-putting about that place."

"Greeley Village has both assisted living and memory care, but we just did the assisted living. It's a newer facility, so it's in great shape. It's very pleasing to walk into it. It's a little bigger than the other place, but it's nice. The staff was very welcoming and I could see she's very involved. She knows a lot of the people that are staying in the assisted living. If they needed something while we were on the tour, she was quick to get somebody in there to help them, or she just took care of it herself while she was there. They had a hair salon, barbershop type thing, and they got some exercise areas for the people staying there. It's a well laid out facility. I visited with some people that were coming in to visit a loved one and randomly talked to them, and they were just very, very pleased with the care. They were very happy that their mother was there. That weighs pretty strong."

"We got Mom a place at MeadowView of Greeley. They have nurses on duty. Also, one of the big things is we're from the mountains of Colorado, and it had a lodge feel in the dining room with little bears and stuff on the logs. It had the right feel for her, that's why we chose it. They know her by name already and know what she likes. They work with her very well. The food is the issue. She says it's OK, but not great. She enjoys her physical therapy, church, and bingo. I think she's getting value for the money. They could make the food a little better, with more variety and more flavor."

"I visited The Lodge at Greeley. It's a five because of the staff ratio per patient. The people there seemed very happy and very active. They've got a great menu in the kitchen. There's a lot of interaction among the staff and the clients. It's very clean and very organized. I did see some of the plates and dishes that were being served, and they looked very good. I asked a couple of the residents and they said it was delicious."

"We toured Brookdale Greeley. The only reason we didn't suggest it to my mother is because it was more expensive. We ate a meal there, and it was very good. The taste was very good. The salad was kind of different than I had before, but it was very good. The facility was very clean and very modern. It's excellent. There are a lot of different ways. The dining area was very nice. The rooms were great. You could get a studio or a one-bedroom. They were all very spacious. The staff was very helpful."

"My dad is staying at Garden Square in Greely. The staff has been great, they've been helping me out. He is in hospice and they've been helping quite a bit. He's comfortable in his room and it's comfortable for us to visit him. He's in the last stage of dementia so he's in the memory care unit. The one meal I saw before he stopped eating, looked very good. He ate it all. The communication is great, they call to let me know what's going on all the time."

"I was able to visit and walk through Garden Square at Westlake facility. I saw the layout of the dining area, one of the rooms, and then the outdoors. They had a courtyard, and the rooms had a refrigerator and microwave. The staff that I met were great. They were friendly, and welcoming, and answered all the questions that I had."

Gardens Care Senior Living - Memorial Park is a great senior living community that can house both Assisted Living (open now) and Memory Care (opening soon) on one beautiful property with 3 unique homes. Each home can house up to 16 residents and this is instrumental for our residents to receive exceptionally personalized care. Our passion for activities is a large reason our seniors have a sense of community and inclusivity. We offer a minimum of 4 activities per day and dedicate a caregiver full-time to activities, this helps our residents come out of their shells and grow relationships with both our caregivers and other residents. Despite being a residential assisted living home, our staff is awake 24 hours a day, our overnight caregivers focus primarily on preparing the meals for the day. This gives our daytime caregivers the freedom to leave the kitchen and tend to our resident's needs. Lastly, we pride ourselves in our all-inclusive pricing. We don't believe in hidden costs or additional costs to the family due to a higher than normal level of care month. Therefore, the price you agree to is the price you'll pay and this includes outings, haircuts, activities, manicures, pedicures and many more amenities.

"Brookdale Longmont Senior Living has very helpful people. It is somewhere that we would definitely consider if we could make this work. It's a very clean facility and very different from your normal facility. It was more like individual apartments, but you still get the care you need. I'm very impressed with this facility.They've been very good about keeping back in touch with me and giving me some other options or just walking me through what this means. We met with the director and the staff, both were very informative about the place. They did a great job and spent a lot of time with us."

"We toured Atria Longmont. The meals were a really big part of what my friend needed. They had a good meal setup where you could order food. Plus, I loved that they had the independent and assisted living people eat together daily for a meal. That was cool. It's a beautiful, nice place. It doesn't make you feel like you're in a nursing home. The staff was very cordial. I felt bad for them trying to help us because my friend was being rude to her, but she hung in there and understood. She did understand what we were going through, and all the staff did. I met and talked to the gal at the front desk. They were all very, very nice."

"My husband moved into Balfour Longmont. They had everything that I was looking for. His apartment is very spacious and nice. The staff is wonderful. The facility is very clean. They take them on tour. If he stays, it's fine. If he doesn't, that's fine, too."

"The staff works well with family in making the best transition, while providing the best quality of care. Rooms are clean and pleasant. "

"My parent was staying at New Mercer Commons. We loved it. The price and the amenities were about the same with the other facility. They have one larger dining room, which looked fine. "
