We spent a lot of time talking to the director of the Vi at Highlands Ranch. He was very nice. We like this community a lot, but we couldn't afford it because it was too expensive. Nevertheless, it was like a country club. We saw a 1-bedroom and it was great. The staff was wonderful too. They were very helpful and very informative. They have a swimming pool. They take people out on trips and they have lots of clubs.

I visited Vi at Highlands Ranch. The place and the community itself is very nice. The parking arrangements are not good, especially in the main building; it’s completely inadequate. The room that I saw was very nice although it would not be a good fit for my mom.

Vi at Highlands Ranch was expensive but beautiful. I saw a gorgeous two-bedroom apartment. The grounds were beautiful and impressive. The person there was wonderful and super. The dining room was gorgeous. The gym, physical fitness things, and trails around the place were beautiful. There were many people who had lunches packed to take up to their apartments or villas, so the food must have been extremely good.

I visited Vi at Highlands Ranch. Overall it's very good, and the accommodations are nice. They have a good selection of entrance plans which helps people with different financial constraints. It was a favorable experience. The staff was excellent, and I met with the sales guy WHO was very knowledgeable and helpful. The apartments were fine. It's a first-class operation and more traditional in architecture. I had an OK lunch with a couple that lived there. It wasn't exceptional, but it was good.

Vi at Highlands Ranch was relatively new and it was quite lovely. I thought it was an excellent visit. They made us an appointment, were right on time and did an excellent job of bringing us around to see it all, answered our questions and educated us on the types of assisted living that we have in Denver as well.

Vi at Highlands Ranch is really an excellent retirement community. I have been here for three and a half years now. I find this place very comfortable. It is run like a hotel. It is most attractive. There are three dining rooms and a bar and they're all very attractive as well. Food is good. The help is great. The people are interesting. They have every activity that you can imagine. It is really a very active community. They emphasize on health. That's what the "Vi" stands for. It is short for "Vitality." At the facility, they have several different kinds of exercise programs that are free. They have a very good fitness center. They also have all kinds of lectures that speak about all kinds of stuff. For a sensible fee, you can join their day trips. They also have dinners outside the community.
There are actually three buildings for independent living. Then on the campus, there is also a care center that you can go temporarily like after a minor operation for instance. You can also go to this center if you have something terribly wrong with you that is needing extensive care. It doesn't cost you any more except for nursing and extra two meals.

I thought the VI senior assisted living facility was absolutely beautiful, and a wonderful place for anybody to live. The building itself is really pretty, with stone detailing and a beautiful landscape. They also have a lot of activities planned for all of the residents. The assisted living that is available is top of the line so residents know they will be taken care of if something were to happen to them. It's a safe, entertaining environment that I would love to live in when I'm older. The mixture of independence and assistance is nice for people who are elderly. VI is a great assisted living home.

We were very impressed by this relatively new assisted living facility. They have built a very good community of living options for seniors. There were lots of stages that you could go through depending on your particular needs, from duplex type living all the way to full hospice. The views were spectacular as well. There were plenty of activities too, including a great pool, art studio, libraries, great gardens and tons of walking trails. Our favorite part though were the care options that they provide. Again, depending on your needs, they can provide simple assistance for things like bathing and dressing, all the way through medication management and nutrional assistance. Their specialty was in Alzheimer's care, which is great to know in case this ever were to become an issue in the future for my parents. The staff was very warm and caring. We met with Angela Green, one of the sales directors there. She took the time to explain everything in detail and answer all our questions.

I am blessed to have lived at Vi of Highlands Ranch for almost 8 years. When I was a widow and living alone for 7 years after my husband died, I decided that I wanted to pick my own destiny. I visited all of the Sr. Living Communities in my area and it wasn't even close that Vi of Highlands Ranch would be my "last stop". It's not only a lovely environment with great staff, it is my home. Almost like living in a resort or on a cruise ship. I have a 1 bedroom unit with a den that is more than big enough for me. My balcony has a lovely view of the mountains and I have sun all day, so my unit is always bright and cheery. The past year has been difficult with Covid restrictions, but almost all of us have gotten our first vaccinations and the second ones are scheduled for 3 weeks from now. Vi arranged for that for us. We have a lot of amenities to take advantage of. A great fitness center, beautiful indoor pool with hot tub, beauty shop on site, lots of fitness classes both on our private channel and in the Centennial Room, for the Catholics we have a Monsignor that is a resident who does 3 weekly morning masses and a mass on Sunday mornings. So much more. As I said anyone that lives here is truly blessed.

Vi at Highlands Ranch is very expensive. It's not that I'm unhappy here, but I've been living here for a long time and it's not as good as it was when I moved in. The service is not as good. The food is not as good. The population of the people who live here are not at all like me anymore. The people who live here are very white, very rich, mostly Christian, and it doesn't suit me anymore. However, I can't afford to move. It's very expensive to move out of here and I am not rich at all.
I am still in independent living. The care center where people go if they can no longer live independently, they didn't plan it very well, and they didn't build the care center large enough to take all of the aging population in the independent living building. One of the reasons my husband and I originally chose this place was because of the continuing care, the friends we made, and our relatives could come and see us whenever they wanted. The continuing care was very important to us so we wouldn't have to move. My husband was in the care center and they took wonderful care of him. However, there's no room in the care center for long-term care.
When we moved here, it was before it was built, and it was a very large buy-in. It's much lower now, but much higher than the other places I investigated. The stipulations for getting your money out if you want to move out is very difficult. Not that they won't give it to you, but you have to give them three months' notice. If you move out before three months, you still are committed to paying the three months maintenance. After you move out, they are not required to refund any money that they still have of yours 90% of what it was for another three months. In other words, if I decided to move out next week, then I would have to pay six months maintenance here plus whatever the buy-in and the rent in another place where I would be living would cost and I don't have that kind of money.
It's a very nice place. I have a one-bedroom apartment with a kitchen, a very large living room, a large bedroom, a huge closet, and a bathroom with a big shower. I was in a beautiful two-bedroom apartment when my husband was alive. Each apartment has a small balcony, and depending on where you chose your apartment, some of them have very nice views and some of them don't, some of them overlook parking lots. I have a gorgeous view of the mountain. Some of the staff members are wonderful.
The facility is great, very nice, and manageable, but I don't think they planned it when they built it as well as they could. Everything is a little too small, not the individual apartments, but the gathering rooms, the library, and the game room. There are no activities now because of the pandemic. It's very expensive. Before the pandemic, I understand that the pricing was what it should've been, but since everything is so limited now, they haven't cut the prices even though they cut the services. The other places that I investigated were all less expensive, but they didn't offer as much.

We visited Vi at Highlands Ranch. I would call them the Ritz-Carlton version of senior care. They had everything, like a small golf course, parks, indoor and outdoor pools, room service, restaurant service and so on. The place was very well-done with lots of activities. It's not cheap, but it's great.

Vi was very nice and kind of luxurious. The only thing was it seems to be a little bit too intimate there for independent living. Many of the units do not have a tremendous view that I was looking for. The person who toured me around was excellent -- very friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable.

Vi at Highlands Ranch is also a large and a very nice facility, much like the other one I have visited. The facility is very clean. They have big living areas, like little townhomes.

We like Vi at Highlands Ranch, but they don't have any apartments open right now for us. We're on the waiting list. The grounds are beautiful. They have a lot of beautiful grass, trees, and sitting areas outside. It has covered parking and that's a great bonus. They have a wonderful dining room, movies, activities, tours, and a bus that takes you around. They have an indoor saltwater pool for exercising, a fitness center, a movie theater, a game room, a library, a business center, a community area, and a little bistro. Everything was great. Everybody was very friendly and helpful. I've had phone calls four or five times with questions, and they always got good answers.

My mom was at Vi at Highlands Ranch. It is a care center with three floors. On the top floor is the assisted living, the middle floor is rehab and skilled nursing, and the ground floor is memory. She and her husband were there. It was a very expensive place. They have three residents to two CNAs.

How it works
Vi at La Jolla Village offers two different pricing options, depending on the percentage of repayment. Your entrance fee and monthly fee pay for your apartment home, as well as access to our onsite continuum of care. The entrance fee is a one-time fee paid when you move into the community, and is based on the floor plan and repayment option you choose. Additionally, your monthly fees – which are directly tied to the floor plan you choose – also cover a range of services including: maintenance of your home, housekeeping, dining, transportation, and more. Should you move or need to access the care center, your independent living monthly fees will not increase, aside from community wide increases, the cost of additional meals and ancillary items as needed.
