Senior Living in Larimer County, CO

"We love MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care of Fort Collins. In fact, we're working on something with them to place my mom in. We like the appearance and the staff. Everything about it was very inviting. The building was very clean, too. I can't say enough good things about it. I like them a lot. The size of the rooms is more than I expected, and they're a very good layout, too."

"When visiting a dear friend at Seven Lakes Memory Care, I was impressed with the cleanliness of her room and, most importantly, the attentiveness of the caregivers, many of whom have been there for years. They always treated her with kindness and dignity. As a side note, the salmon I had for lunch while visiting was delicious! I would highly recommend this community for your loved one."

"Dad moved to Brookdale North Loveland. The facility is clean. Many of the staff that we met and were introduced to when we were signing up were very friendly and appeared to be very caring and respectful. I was told that the staff turnover there is very low too, in comparison with other places. It is homey and uncluttered. The layout is easy to navigate for the residents because it's like a big square. They have a beauty salon and my dad got a haircut there, which was nice. They have snacks available 24/7 and ice cream for the asking, which is nice for my dad because he has a sweet tooth. There is an enclosed courtyard that they can have 24-hour access to, and they don't have to worry about outside people coming into the courtyard. There's also a piece of exercise equipment that they can use and an activity area, which is very welcoming."

"There are a lot of things I like about Parkwood Estates. First of all, the first sight is the trees all around it, so there is a great view for the residents to have. There is covered parking if you would like to pay extra for that, and that was something we were looking for. It's a friendly community. It's a great tour. There are more activities if we want them. The facilities were lovely and recently remodeled. We were able to see two different sizes. There are a lot of services that are available. For example, there is something that you could get help with for blood pressure, and help with putting your medications together and stuff like that. You can have help, whether to call your doctor in or an ambulance, whatever you might need. The staff member who gave the tour was delightful, informative, and very helpful. We didn't try the meals, but it looked like there was a fairly good availability and lovely dining facilities."

"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."

"We visited Bethesda Gardens Loveland and toured the memory care for my parents. We noticed that they have a lot of interactive activities to do. As they age, and if they do have a slight memory problem, the activities keep them active that way, so I appreciate that they have a lot of things going on there. The facility was very high-end and very clean, and because it was newer, it had that much going for it. I wouldn't expect something as new as they are to be run down at this point. It looked like everything was good, and if there was a scuff somewhere or a spot on the floor, it would have been taken care of. It's very open, very relaxing, too. The staff who helped us with the tour was very good and very friendly."

"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."

"Sunny Side living under the direction of Karen has been an incredible blessing to my family. Karen is a very loving and caring person and her concern for the well being of her residents is clearly seen in how well she and all of her family and staff take care of the residents. It is very obvious to see that the staff are inspired by Karen’s leadership and they step up to the task very well. Both my father and Mother moved into Sunny Side. My Father passed away after a few months but my mother continued on as a resident for 2 years before passing away. During these 2 years my family was able to see the incredible level of care provided to my parents and Karen took extraordinary steps to accommodate the needs of my mother and other residents as well. As my mom’s condition and needs changed, Karen would work together with family members to discuss ideas for helping my mom and she listened to family as we presented ideas based on our knowledge of our mom. We were all able to work together as a team knowing we all wanted what was best for my mother. As my mother’s condition declined, Karen and the staff adapted to her needs. Karen and staff took special care to bathe my mom even when it wasn’t easy or convenient. Karen was always looking for ways to make my mother’s situation as good as it can be given the added challenges. Karen made extraordinary efforts to keep my mom from being bedridden knowing that she was a very social person and needed to be with the other people in the house. The extra care was challenging for the staff but Karen knew it was important to my mom and she made it work. Karen and Sunny Side staff would make extra efforts to take my mom and another resident out for walks in the neighborhood when conditions allowed knowing that the outing was therapeutic for them. They would frequently take the residents out onto a deck to enjoy sunshine and a beautiful view of the mountains. The residents thoroughly enjoyed it. Sunny Side living blessed my father by taking him and our family through end of life through a home hospice program and they have done the same thing with other residents as well. Karen her family & staff treated the dying residents with respect and dignity. With the passing of both of my parents, Sunny Side blessed my family with love, support and compassion through a difficult time. Sunny Side is always very clean and very well maintained and there is a focus on cleanliness at the house. The rooms are spacious and there is an abundance of natural lighting that adds to a warm and comfortable feeling in the house. Meals are great and there were times when I was envious of the meals my mother had because they were so good. Karen would spend time with my mom in studying the Bible and having special teaching programs on the TV. When conditions allowed for it, Karen would take my mom to a creative writing class because Karen knew my mom really enjoyed the class and the outing. Wednesdays were a special day when several women friends would visit Sunny Side to have an afternoon of playing games and extra effort was made to include the residents in the game time. My family is profoundly grateful for the way Karen and Sunny Side blessed my parents with such great and loving care and we are so thankful that my parents were able to live out their last days in such an amazing home."

"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."

"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."

"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."
