The Best Nursing Home Communities in Boulder County, CO

"This place rocks I was just there for 2 weeks everybody was very nice and caring pt and ot was great and the food was very good I highly recommend "

"The staff were attentive and answered any questions I had about my grandma. The facility was clean and I did not notice any odors. I would recommend to others. The room was typical of a long term care facility. "

"My husband was at PowerBack Rehabilitation Lafayette. Every time we were there the nurses were good, even when he was rebelling, and they usually came in right away. It's a new building with a nice lobby. However, one staff member -- who was kind of a supervisor -- was not comforting when the patients were released. When the therapy plateaued, they told me that they would move him to a nursing home. When we complained about the location being too far (because I don't drive), she said that it's the only place that would take Medicaid. After considering it and the negative feedback from a friend about that nursing home, we told them we didn't want to move my husband there. Then she told me we better figure out where we want to put him or they would put him the car and we could just take him home. She was a real sharp-mouthed woman. They don't give you any comfort. They called a meeting with the director, the Medicaid lady, and the social worker, and none of them were comforting. They said that they were waiving the second month fee because everything had been done wrong with my husband. From day one the primary physician and everyone all the way down the line did everything wrong with him. The lady following up on the Medicaid was cold and the upper management was all very rude. He had a private room there that was bigger than what he has now. The nurses and aides were nice, but not the upper management. Overall, between the building and nurses, it was good, it was humane, and the physical therapy was good. My husband complained at the end that when he called them they wouldn't come, and he fell twice while he waited. The place itself was nice, clean, and new. They gave the residents ground food which didn't have any flavor."

"The entire staff including the janitorial group were very caring of my needs, made me welcome and they were very patient with me. Upbeat attitudes and always made me smile."

"PT was super. CNA's were great and nurses were on top of everything"

"I recently had my mother at this facility. She was not doing well upon admitting here, but when she left she was back to her old self. The staff were all very attentive and caring. The therapists were able to motivate her and get her walking again. I truly am thankful for this facility. "

"My dad is at The Center At Northridge, and everyone's been real nice at helping him. He really likes it there. I think he would have liked to stay there if he could, but obviously he can't because he's just there for rehab. I met a lot of the staff, the physical therapists, the nutritionist, and the speech therapist. They were all very, very helpful, very informative, attended to his needs, and answered all my questions. If he needed something, I could simply speak to them , they would pass it on, and it always got done and got followed up with. It's a very nice facility. They were very good with the laundry, and his room was always clean. He is also always clean. They even had an on-site barber/beautician to clean them all up and give them a haircut. There's a lot of good people there, and the whole experience is very pleasant and very professional. The food is also great. I think my dad was always having fun filling out the menus. He really enjoyed the food they offered and the variety. For the facility itself, it's very nice and it's very well maintained, so I think it's a good value. You get what you pay for. The few people that I met that were also doing rehab, seemed quite pleased with it as well."

"My mom stayed at Avamere for rehab. Everybody was really good and nice. The place was clean and really good. My mom was in a private room. The staff was very caring and everybody knew our names automatically. They took really good care of my mom. They play bingo there."

"I visited multiple times. We were very interested in it, but the whole idea of committing all of our savings to that place just to get in was a concern. We need to have the freedom to move if we want. They don't have a pool, so we would have eliminated them anyway, but it was an outstanding place. We would have been happy there, with the exception of not having a pool. It's a beautiful place. The staff is excellent. We've met a lot of the staff. We have gone to some events where they have food, we have gone on the tour where they have food, and we have done a get-together with other people on the waiting list where we have had food, and we have been impressed with it. I cannot say anything negative about that place. The facility is excellent. Beautiful ground. Well taken care of. We were going to be in a duplex, which is what we were choosing to go into."

"Unlike others who may comment, I actually live here at Elm's Haven. Despite my initial reluctance to make this life-saving choice and relinquish my former independence, I have been relieved (and very surprised) to find that I have gained much more than I have lost. The staff has become like my second family! Their compassion is genuine and heart-felt. No other human quality is so very important as this. I've also received skilled and thorough medical care that has improved my physical condition substantially. The food is much better than I expected and even during this CoVid time, there are engaging activities offered. I am fortunate to receive such skilled and caring help!"

"Loved the staff. They went out of their way to be helpful, even when pressured by unexpected difficulties, like water being cut off by the City of Berthoud. No one missed a beat. Very impressive. Excelllent occupational and physical therapy. Kitchen does a good job on my gluten-free diet. good tasting food and plenty of it. Management is very involved in every part of running the facility and go out of their way to be helpful. I was blessed with a speedy recovery and am very grateful! Loved the activities, lots of them. And the rooms were large and comfortable. "

"My mother lived at Alpine for the last 9 months of her life during some of the darkest days of the Coronavirus pandemic. Because of COVID restrictions, activities were restricted and most of my interactions with staff at Alpine were remote. I called frequently and it was clear that all staff knew her and could give me an update. More importantly, staff there knew her not just as a patient but as an individual. They knew and were attentive to her personal likes and dislikes. When it was clear she was entering the final stages of her life, they cared for her in a genuinely loving way by playing her favorite music, touching her frequently, and using their personal cell phones to enable me and other family to say goodbye. My mother liked the food there, and often requested and received second helpings of food, especially desserts! The rooms may be utilitarian, but the quality of care is outstanding. If you want not just care but competent caring for your loved one, go to Alpine."

"My mother has moved into The Villas at Sunny Acres. We're very happy with her there. It's been good. They're taking good care of my mom. The people are very friendly. She's in memory care. The staff is very nice. I've never had a problem with them. Her room is nice. She shares it with another lady and everything's good. Everything's nice and clean. The dining room is nice. They have lots of tables with four people at each table, and it's set up kind of like a little restaurant. They have an activities director. I've never been there when they've been doing stuff, so I don't know anything about what their activities are. She's been there for two months now. They charge a lot, but she is getting good care and that's what we care about."

"I think the layout and the upkeep of Life Care Center of Westminster was very good. It was very clean and people seemed to be happy. It was also in a very nice little neighborhood. The staff was very nice and I met three or four people, including the director and a couple of CNAs. They were very friendly and they all interacted with the residents very easily. Actually, at that time, I think they were voting, which was interesting. Some of the residents had gotten a ballot and were voting."
