Brookdale Lowry

Leila

We liked Brookdale Lowry, but for the price, the space that Mom would've gotten was a lot smaller than the other place, and it didn't suit our needs. It's an older building, but it was nice. The guy we met with was very nice, very helpful, and had a lot of suggestions. It's just the space was not comparable to what we were able to get at the other place as far as size. They had little nooks in every area that had books and stuff like that. They had a rooftop terrace type thing that was pretty cool. We didn't go out there, but we saw it. It's on the third story and that was kind of unique to that facility.

The size of Brookdale Lowry facility is smaller since my mom is moving from a small condo. It's very clean and I like that. I talked to some of the residents and everybody liked the food. I liked the staff that I met and the diversity in the place. I like the follow-up from the staff in explaining how everything works, from the cost to the services provided.

Brookdale Lowry is very nice, and it's very clean. They are very attentive and very thorough. It's just a nice place. They had an events calendar and they were making caramel apples. They seem to do a lot of work to keep people engaged. The rooms are very nice, they're pretty basic, with a bed a kitchenette, and a shower in the bathroom. They did really well. The building is very well-cared for, it's just not brand new, but they've done a great job.

Brookdale Lowry Denver did a really good job and my mom got really good care. The staff was really friendly, though they changed directors quite a few times within 3 months. She was in a single room or a studio which was definitely adequate for her. It had a good shower with a seat and everything else is accessible for her. They also have different types of rooms. Before the activities stopped, they had exercise classes that they could go to, they had outings to different places, and lunches. They did a lot of different activities and movies, they have a really nice movie room. Unfortunately with what's going on, they couldn't utilize any of that. They also had really good meals.

Brookdale Lowry felt like a resort and was more open, which would not work really well for my mom. The rooms were beautiful. They didn't have a skilled nursing area.

Brookdale Lowry was a very nice place in an ideal location since everything is right in that area. The apartments were all very nice. The staff I met was excellent. The food was very good. The facility as a whole was very nice. The only thing negative was it seemed like it's a place where people don't want to be, so people didn’t appear to be enthusiastic.

Helen

I chose this facility because there is a library across the street and good shopping the other way along with a big Safeway store. I also preferred the floor plans and chose the Alcove plan.

My mom is at Village at Lowry in Clare Bridge, which is the memory unit. It's a good and clean place. I like it. The staff members are attentive. The apartment that my mom has is a suite. It's very nice, clean, freshly painted, and ready to go when she moved in. The activities are very good. However, this community is expensive.

The nice thing about Village at Lowry is it is right by the Lowry Town Center, and there are shops, supermarkets and restaurants there. It's a nice place to walk around. It's also in an old army officers' quarters. It used to be an air force base. We met a lot of residents who gave us great feedback and who love living there and said that it was a great place to be. They also have ambassadors -- people who are living there who will be like your buddies. They also had nice, big balcony areas that you can sit on. It's also on busy streets. They had libraries all throughout the building and a lot of army military vets. Since it used to be an old barracks, they have a lot of military stuff in the facility like old uniforms and hats, and anybody who has a vet can submit their picture and they'll show it on a screen so we thought that was nice. The rooms were really big, and it was the cheapest or least expensive place we saw, so it's very reasonably priced for assisted living. Their memory care is very small, and we didn't like it as much. It seemed more like a nursing home although the staff there was great and trying to get everyone involved. It's a really nice place, and it's in a great location.

Village at Lowry accepted only cash, so it was very expensive. The accommodations and everything were very nice, but it was something I could never afford. The people all seemed a lot older.

Very Happy Resident1

I am in Village at Lowry. I am impressed that they have a lot of open space for the residents to gather on every floor. The staff is very nice and kind, and the food is excellent. I am kind of limited in what I can do right now, but they have so many activities on a daily basis. They have outings, musical guests and guests for other interests, like painting and different types of arts. I cannot say enough good things. I am so glad I am here.

We liked Village at Lowry very well. It's just that they felt my husband needed memory care. We weren't able to do the price, and we wouldn't have been able to stay together. The rooms were beautiful. It's a gorgeous place. They had nice staff, and everybody there was nice. We would've taken it, but it just didn't work out that way. Their nursing assessment didn't allow us to be in the apartment we wanted to be in.

I'm at Village at Lowry. I'm very well, and I'm receiving very good care except the food is atrocious. Other than the food, everything is wonderful. When I moved here, they had independent living, but now it's all assisted living. It's institutional food, and I'm not used to that. They've thrown every piece of furniture away, and they've completely redecorated the place. It looks lovely. They offer standard activities. They have meetings, speeches, and bingo. The staff is very good. It costs a lot of money, though.

The staff at the Village of Lowrey seemed very friendly and had been very helpful. They didn’t quite have what we were looking for, though; that’s why we didn’t place my sister-in-law there. She took a turn for the worse quickly. The rooms seemed OK and were of a pretty good size for what we were looking for. I didn’t see much activity happening. They showed us a list of some of the places they visit, which seemed really nice, but I didn’t see anything particularly going on in the facility. It was a little quiet, and I would have liked a little more activity, but it was good.

Village at Lowry was very clean. It was a nice-looking, well-run facility, though it looked somewhat rundown, like a hotel that has gone six years without renovations.

Caring113515150

Villages at Lowry was absolutely horrific. It was one thing that should be turned down or demolished. It was horrible, dirty, old, and awful. I see why it was only $2000 a month. I looked at the rooms, the dining, and the amenities, and it was not a very nice place.

Village at Lowry is moderate-sized. It is an older building, but they have made upgrades with the paint and the carpet. The room is pleasant; it’s nothing exceptional, but it is nice. My mom has enjoyed the religious services that they have; they have different denominations which are helpful to a variety of people.

Robin110546250

My mother is in Village at Lowry. The facility itself is beautiful and clean, and they are in the process of renovation. The staff is very cheerful and really seems to care about the residents at the facility. They attend to them timely and always have a happy smile. As far as the room -- the one-bedroom apartment. It is well taken care of and spacious. You can go around. It is set up in a way that it will be easy for an older person. They have a huge library. They have a puzzle ongoing. They have activities such as bingo, karaoke, and sing-a-longs. They have performers that come in and sing. They have bus trips out on some local areas or to the malls. They also provide a golf cart so you can go to the local grocery store or the library across the street.

My visit at Village at Lowry was nice. It seemed like a nice place. Everybody seemed happy. The residents were very pleasant, and they seemed to be in good spirit. The apartments were very nice. It was clean and well kept.

It is centrally located, and it's not just assisted living; it's a home. My mother has a two-bedroom apartment, and the staff seems to be very caring. The food is very good and not high carbs. They have golf carts that take the customers across the street to the shopping centers, and the bus takes them shopping to a variety of different stores as well as to central city to do some gambling. She has been in Village at Lowry for a little over a month now. There are older furnishings, but they're in the process of renovating the entire building. The majority of the staff seems to care about their jobs, and they enjoy their work with the customers. Their motto is that "this is the customers' home, not theirs."

I thought the people were all very kind and welcoming in Village at Lowry, and it just had a very nice warm feel to it. The rooms were a little dated, but very spacious.

We have her moving in Saturday to Village at Lowry. It’s about halfway between my work and my home. It’s 3 meals a day. The staff was great. Many of the residents came up full of personality and wanted to know who their new company was. It was very compassionate; it gave me a good feeling. It looks remodeled, very airy, and very bright. It’s small, but I think it’s going to work out just fine. There’s an Albertson within walking distance. They can get out and go do whatever they want. They have a fairly large community with dementia and Alzheimer's, so they do quite a bit to try to stimulate their minds, and they do a regular trip.

I have been here in Village at Lowry for three years. The place is very nice. It is revamped because it used to be a bachelor officer quarters when Lowry was an air force base. The rooms have been redone. They have one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and studio apartments. I have a one-bedroom with my own bath. It is very quiet although the food is not terrific, but I do have a stove. I go out for breakfast, but I choose not to have lunch and dinner. I just make it myself. The staff is very nice, and they call everyone by their name. They have free manicures on Thursdays. They have sing-a-longs and happy hour on Fridays. They have various different outings and bus trips to shopping. There is a shopping center right outside our backdoor which is very nice. They have quite a few things to keep us busy. I like the fact that they call everyone by name. Every one of the staff knows everyone by name. It would be good if they can clean up their act on the food.

Village at Lowry was more of an assisted living, but they do have an Alzheimer's unit. Their Alzheimer's unit was very small, but everybody there was very friendly. The pricing was a little on the high side, but it wasn’t tremendously bad. The staff was wonderful. I like the fact that they would give their residents who were in the assisted living part a little golf cart to take them grocery shopping and to the events and things that they had for them. They take them to the Broncos games. It didn’t have the nursing home feel. They kept them involved in activities. I thought that was really neat.

They were very friendly and nice at the Lowry. However, it was very dirty. I think the problem was the facility is just not quite up to snuff. It’s old and huge. It needs to be remodeled. They didn’t even have closets in the room. It was a little strange.

While I was looking for a facility for a client of mine, I was able to visit Village at Lowry. It's a nice facility, but it was just too expensive for her. The rooms were nice and they seem to have quite a few activities for the residents. I also like the options for eating, that was pretty impressive.

Happy Child

I visited the community and was very impressed at how nice the aprtments was and friendly everyone was there! It was every thing on my list and more - clean with great care and a real active feel -that made me want to join the various activites - can you believe they were hosting a fashion show when I toured. It was hard for me not to join - as well as I found the Sales staff was knowledgeable and friendly and really help guide me through the process, this was my first place I visited and no one lived up to the Village so far .

Caring86524350

Village at Lowry is probably the best we visited. It is very clean. The apartment is very nice. They are very friendly and accommodating, and in addition, they were knowledgeable and provided us with a lot of information.

We had been at Village at Lowry for two years before having to move my mother to a facility for skilled nursing. The first year was great, but a change in management completely changed all personnel, three quarters of the original staff had quit and moved on. Things started to fall apart, torn carpet etc. This was not the facility we started with, and when we left I was very disappointed.

Jerry25

I checked out Village. It was a cross between a condo and apartment type. It was clean and excellently well kept. It had one questionable drawback for me. It was reasonably closed to where I had lived and I wasn't sure that I wanted to be back in that neighborhood and all the associations and memories. It was a strange reaction. But that was the most significant of the negative aspects. It had very little to do with the physical facility, but it had to do with the location.

Carolyn29

Village at Lowry was nice and clean. It was also homey. They did have lots of activities for their residents. They also offer transportations for them. Their rooms were small but their dining room was nice. I like the fact that they have a menu so you didn't have to eat what they had, but you can order and choose from their menu. This facility seemed like it would be a nice place for my friend but they weren't able to accommodate her.

Caring68870650

We are going with Village at Lowry for my dad. We just have a few things to take care of first and we're hoping to move him in by October. I like that this place is close to a lot of shopping centers and places for him to go. They also offer tons of activities for him. We did checked the room where Dad is going to be staying and it was clean. It had a little refrigerator, a kitchenette area, and a really large bathroom. There were lots of trees outside, so he would have a beautiful view from the window.

Village at Lowry is big and clean facility. My grandma likes it. The food is really good and she likes it. They seemed to be under staffed and I think they need to hire more people.

Michele6

Village at Lowry was nice and there are a lot of activities there. My mom doesn't feel like getting out socially though, she's slow in walking and afraid to fall. They were very nice but most of the people there are closer to my age than my mom's age. They do all kinds of outings and things. I think I prefer to keep mom as long as I can handle it.

Could you tell me why the residents of you home have to wait one hour at least for a lunch or dinner meal and then it is cold or not what they ordered. Their blood pressure if not taken as promised when their blood pressure is high? They,new management, say they are trying to get it straightened out. After more than a month I would think that the problem in the dinningroom would be fixed
