The Best Independent Living Communities in Arapahoe County, CO

"We like Brookdale University Park Colorado. Various rooms like the library, the movie room, the meeting room, and the art room were pretty much centrally located and were not spread out like some other places. We felt like it had a good feel to it. Everyone was very friendly. The dining area was fine. We had dinner there, and it was good. They have all kinds of groups, games, and activities. They take people to places, too. The staff seemed very helpful. The food was very good. There is quite a good selection. It is one of the best menus I've seen. The facility itself seems good. There is laundry in the apartment rather than having it on the floor or down a basement or something. There was no pool, but I think they go twice a week to the Y. They also have more men, close to 50% or something. It is nice to have some guys around."

"I moved in November. I am in independent living. I visited many facilities and this was far and away my first choice. My apartment faces West and I have the most fantastic view of the front range. My balcony overlooks the court yard and I can hear the fountain. The common areas are attractive and cozy. The facility seems to put a great deal of care in the apartments . I feel right at home in my cozy nest. The food is ok. Sometimes it’s excellent and sometimes not so much. But there are many additional choices available to satisfy all tastes. What makes Springbrooke so special is the staff. They are kind, helpful and caring. They show so much patience. I’m happy with my choice"

"Brookdale Meridian Englewood is a gorgeous place, but it's not for somebody who doesn't do a lot of walking. It is tough to get around there, and their meals are on the first floor. The memory care side was OK, but their rooms are just kind of hospital-type. They didn't allow any personal items to be in the place to make you feel at home, but the facility is very clean. The gentleman that we were originally scheduled with didn't seem to have enough knowledge about the entire place, so he brought in somebody else, and she was fabulous."

"I visited Vi at Highlands Ranch, and I've been impressed. They are at the upper end cost-wise, but I like the facility, and I like the completeness of care. One thing I was impressed with is that the monthly amount could vary from year to year, but it does not change when you go from independent living to, let's say, assisted living. The place looked like it would fit what I wanted, and the staff were very competent."

"We liked that this was a pretty active community."

"I toured Brookdale Parkplace. They were very helpful and very informative. They showed me all of the amenities of the place. I thought it was a little bit expensive with the service fees. The staff was very nice and cordial. She answered all my questions. The facilities were very clean. The structure was very good. It's very livable. I saw the TV room and the exercise room, and both looked fine. When I stepped in it was warm and cozy. It was not very busy. I didn't see a whole lot of people at the time I was there, but I know that they have happy hour going at 5:00, and that they seem to be pretty happy."

"I have chosen them for my husband. I like that it's more of a home-type setup. The staff was very helpful and answered all my questions. They made me feel at ease. Activities were going on and it was a more free-moving situation. We saw one-bedroom apartments and they were good. They provided privacy to the individuals, which gives them a level of dignity. We went to the dining room and then there was a TV room and we got to see the outside area. There's a deck with a grill and table and chairs and then there's a garden area and a very large backyard. I was quite impressed with that. I liked it. The facility was quite clean. We saw the memory care and I liked that it was very secure. You couldn't go in and out, and the doors were locked down. Everything worked out as far as my needs, my husband's needs, and location."

"I have chosen Balfour Senior Living because it's very beautiful. Their staff is very nice. The food is excellent. It's the most beautiful place you'll ever see. There's a saltwater swimming pool. The staff members have been wonderful. They're outstanding."

"Lakewood Reserve was a very nice facility. It was newly remodeled. I felt like it was too far from where I wanted my mom to be. I thought that the person who gave me the tour was great. She was knowledgeable. I liked that every day they would have, like a sample plate for every meal that they would make so that the residents could look at it and go, oh, yeah, I want the egg and the sausage, or I want the egg in the sausage in the toast. And they made like three different plates up. So you had three different variations of what that could look like. I liked the person who was taking the tour, although she was new, she knew people's names. She was like hey, Marcia. We were walking through and she was like oh, hey, Peggy, do you mind if we peek our head into your room? And we were able to look into what a furnished apartment looked like. And the person was affable to allow us to look into her place. They seemed to have a lot of activities. They had, like, this kind of, heightened service to serving people who were in the military and had a military wall. And the person who was in the front who welcomed us, she seemed to know everybody who was going in and out, and it seemed very welcoming and very comfortable. It had recently been renovated so a lot of the spaces were newly painted and newly decorated. And she's been great with follow-up and checking in to see how we were doing. They also looked to see if their facility could accept my mom's medication. And they also were willing to come and do an evaluation on my mom to see whether or not the facility would make sense for her."

"Brookdale Meridian Lakewood was very well maintained. The apartments were fully equipped. The view outside, the trees, and the walking paths were something we liked. The staff was very professional and very well-organized with lots of good information. They had a beauty salon, outdoor walking paths, and a fitness area. Their upkeep was good."

"I loved the openness of Legacy Village of Castle Pines, the huge large windows with lots of sunlight, and the good food. The dining area was fine. I think the building is six years old and it looks to be in perfect shape. The staff during the tour was very helpful. The rooms were nice. They have a physical therapy room. They have doctors come in for appointments, so you don't need to leave the building to see a doctor."

"My apartment is a great value for the price of the rent. There is a full kitchen that I use when I miss a meal and cook for guests. The opportunities for socialization are numerous. Eating meals and attending activities with the wonderful friends I've made here are the best part of my experiences since moving here over a year ago. We are blessed with a wonderful staff that goes beyond what is expected, caring for us with kindness and creating an atmosphere that consistently brings smiles and laughter. You can't put a price on this."
