The Best Senior Living Communities in Calhan, CO

"We toured here. It'll start out with assisted, and then as my dad's dementia progresses, we'll go to the memory side if I choose that facility. It was beautiful. As soon as we walked in it smelled like fresh-baked cookies. The receptionist was very welcoming, and she was explaining just how good she thinks the company is, and that if they had a facility in Wisconsin, she would put her mom in one, and she just kind of explained how well the residents were taken care of. When the tour started with the activities coordinator, she was very thorough. She showed me everything they had to offer. She was able to show me the four different floor plans. It was very like descriptive. She took me to the kitchen and took me to where they get their haircut. She showed me their laundry facilities and the list of activities that they have every day. They have seven or eight activities that last throughout the whole day. They cater their activities to the residents, and all the residents that I saw were very well taken care of. All the CNAs and the nurses and all the staff that works with the residents were very, very approachable, and you could tell that they enjoyed their job. It was just amazing. And they have the cutest, most beautiful cat on the memory side. It followed us around and it was affectionate with the residents. It was just awesome. Nobody was eating at the time we went, but the staff explained that there's no assigned tables and they can sit wherever they want. She showed me the menu and it was awesome. They have their food that's offered every single day, but then they also had three other choices specific for that day that the residents could choose. And the food wasn't just like your simple cheeseburger with french fries, but it was pulled pork with mashed potatoes and broccoli. I told the lady that if I could move my dad in today, I would. I did not taste the food, but the residents on the memory care side were in the middle of eating, and it smelled delicious. We looked at two floor plans and they looked great. They looked like miniature houses. We would have to furnish them ourselves, which is totally fine. Each room that I saw had a wonderful view. They even had a garden outside and a patio, which was super cute. The garden didn't have any plants in it because it's winter, but they have a whole setup out there for vegetables and herbs. I was just pleasantly surprised with everything. They had very big TVs and had a Western showing like the older programs because the residents are older."

"My aunt is at Home Care at Kettle's. They were very, very helpful. They helped me move in quickly and also worked with me until we figured out the money situation. The staff is very helpful, very friendly, and always willing to help me and answer my questions and stuff. The residents are allowed to go outside. They have activities in the basement, although, I haven't seen my aunt go down there. Outside they have something like a gazebo. The nice thing about it is they have a nurse practitioner who comes every Monday. She called me and asked me if she could put my aunt on a prescription and then she worked with me to get insurance with the pharmacy that they use. We got my aunt set up on some medicine and stuff."

"The food at The Lodge at Palmer Point Residential Assisted Living was good. The facility was very clean and nice. When I walked in, there were people around and people to talk to. The staff was very friendly and attentive. It's one giant mansion with eight tiny apartments. You can have assisted living, independent living, hospice, or nursing care. It's everything. If Mom progresses, I won't have to move her."

"My husband has been at the Retreat of Sunny Vista in the Memory Support unit for over a month. His admission and transition into the unit has been smooth and flawless (even with the Delta Variant restrictions). The staff members are all very caring, attentive and compassionate. I continue to be very pleased with the communication from numerous departments. I have personally been a R.N. with 45 years of service in hospital areas, therefore the care my husband is receiving had provided me with a wonderful peace of mind and comfort."

"Clean Rooms, excellent new facility. Nurse was fantastic. Case manager was very kind and knowledgeable."

"We moved to Affinity at Colorado Springs. Inside my apartment there are two bedrooms and one bathroom. It has a large bathroom where you can fit a wheelchair if needed, and it's equipped with a shower that has handrails. We have a washer, dryer, and large closet, and the main bedroom has ceiling fans. Additionally, there's a large refrigerator, stove, microwave, and dishwasher in the kitchen, along with a bar where you can place some chairs. There's also a balcony or patio with outlets conveniently located throughout the space. They have a saltwater therapy pool and a Jacuzzi with a chairlift to assist in getting in and out of the pool. There's a workout area, a woodworking area, and a barbecue area with several tables. Every Thursday they host a social hour. They also provide a kitchen area downstairs that you can reserve for free if you want to have a birthday party for you and your family. They have a wood-burning pit area where you can sit around, burn wood, and chat in the evenings. They have large garages and covered ports. The staff is amazing. Two of the three gals in the front office run the happy hour, and they're fabulous, fun, and helpful. They provide all the information you need. I'm on the third floor, and there's a trash chute. They also have a dog grooming station and rooms that you can rent, similar to hotel rooms, in each of their facilities all across the United States."

"I would tour. Amazing home. My mother stays here and I would not place her anywhere else. Staff is very attentive and caring and meals are great. Clean environment. Run by a physician."

"Freedom Home Assisted Living was privately-owned with only 8 residents. It was very nice, and I knew my husband would get good care there. They were having sandwiches and soup that looked fine. It is a house that they converted into a senior residential facility. The rooms were very nice. "

"My mother is a resident at the north home. She has received excellent care and the staff have a true affection for her. I feel assured that she is in great hands. Jeff has always been there to address any needs or concerns to insure that mom's needs are met. He really cares. Thank you all for great work you do!"

"We moved my mother to the Residence at Village Green two years ago, and I have to say we couldn't be happier with the care and attention being provided by the staff and management. Since we have been there, there has been a major focus on staff development, care expectations and guidance. Susan and her team go above and beyond to create a caring, safe and involved atmosphere for the residents! They are always doing fun things with the residents, whether it is decorating and celebrating holidays, musical guests in the gathering area, or the list of activities for all that wish to join in (thank you Demi, you Rock)! I also want to give a big shout out to Kristy, Chantz, Jessica and Shia...just to name a few (as I am only there during the day shift), and there are many more. It warms my heart when my mother says "the staff here are really nice, and they work so hard"! If you have a family member or loved one in need of assistance, I encourage you to take a tour."

"Our new manager, Bill, is very accomodating and helpful. I hope he stays for a very long time. "

"It has very nice staff, it seems like they go over and above. It doesn't have the feel of a corporate type place in both assisted and independent living. The rooms are very clean, they have the main living quarters and a bedroom, refrigerator, and stove. They have access to washing machines and they're served a meal at lunch that's catered in. My loved one said that the food is really good. And a lot of the times there would be enough that they can put in in their refrigerator and reheat for dinner. They have bingo, cards, they have a bus for outings, they'll also take him to his doctor appointments and shopping. They have a full list of activities on a sheet so that they can review it. They also have a sheet that tells them what kind of food is coming up for the next catered meal. The quality of care here was very good."

"Absolutely the best. No questions. No further looking, "
