My mother's going to be moving next week to Porter Place. It's a very nice facility. It's modern, up-to-date, very clean, and very spacious. They offered everything we were looking for. They have different levels of assistance. The staff were very receptive and pleasant. We chose it because of the location, which is fairly near to me. Just the whole establishment is exactly what I was looking for. It's an apartment style living facility.

No communication until they decide they want to evict. No status updates as they occur even though we often request them. Last week Mom (90) found on floor at midnight. NO ONE CALLED 911 OR FAMILY --EVER ! We had to call on site nurse who didn't come for 3 hours from 3 floors upstairs. She determined no RT necessary. We took her anyway. She has now been in the hospital 6 days. She is due to release today and Marilyn (director Porter Place) advised us at 4 yesterday she cannot come back at all even though therapists said should thrive even considering her dimentia. Very distressing. Imagine if it was your Mom

the staff was very helpful and informative while we visited with Mom and Dad. The menus looked great and activities seem well rounded to include all kinds of interest!

My mother-in-law has been in Porter Place for two months. The overall experience was favorable but not perfect as there are things that have to be straightened out. It is OK, though. The food is good, I think. The atmosphere is much quieter than some of other places we visited. It seems like there is low activity compared to some other places we visited, but it seems orderly and quiet which is what my mother-in-law wanted. The room is slightly bigger than average, but the bath is not as well fitted for a person who needs assisted living. It is not a walk-in shower but more like a walk-in bath, and so my mother-in-law has to lift her feet a bit. I got her a sliding chair so that she could get into the bath, but that has been difficult. However, she chose that room because it has a gorgeous view. It is on the fifth floor and has a beautiful view of the Rocky Mountains. The atmosphere seems OK. My mother-in-law is getting her pills and medications from them and some help with bathing. I did have an issue with them only doing it once a week, but according to them, she is the one who is declining the help when they come the second time. So we have some things we’re still working out since she has only been there eight weeks.

to be honest, this facility is not the greatest! Big turnover in staff, except a few gossiping, clicks. The facility is old, needs to be cleaned and remodeled. The food is not the best, and doesn't appear very healthy. Short staffed, underpaid and not very qualified. Would not trust this place with my loved ones! Look elsewhere.

My mom and I toured a number of places in the Denver area. This was, by far, her favorite. All the residents seem very happy when I go visit (which is often, now that she loves there!)
All of the apartments have kitchens, however the Alzheimer's unit rooms do not (which is good, as it would not be safe at all!) They have studio, 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom plans for regular assisted living. The memory care rooms are smaller, which is good for those folks. They eat in a separate dining room, so it's less overwhelming for the residents.
My mother is now is the secure memory care (Alz) unit. The staff is always friendly, helpful and caring. It is very clean (recently remodeled and they are about to redo the other wing as well.) My mom adjusted fairly quickly and easily to her new environment.
This is a larger facility with many, many options and activities (on site and off) for its residents. I HIGHLY recommend this facility.

Porter Place is very close to my house and it's a very nice place. It was more of the location that I get to choose this facility as well as the staff. We were informed with the activities, but he really wasn’t interested with the activities. Everything is going well so far.

Porter Place was very dated, with just small and old apartments with no kitchen. It didn't have a very cheerful atmosphere. It was just not very desirable. I didn't feel comfortable with it when I toured the place. I wouldn't recommend it.
