Cherry Creek Retirement Village
Cherry Creek Retirement Village offers assisted living and independent living in Aurora, Colorado. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication management, while independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care. Having both care levels in one community can suit a resident whose needs may grow over time, since moving to another level of care would not require leaving the community.
With 35 beds, Cherry Creek is in the smaller community range, where staff and residents get to know each other. The community is in the Heather Gardens neighborhood, which has a Walk Score of 41 out of 100 and is car dependent, so most errands require a car or a ride.
A wellness center, salon/spa, landscaped courtyards, and a book club give residents options for wellness, personal care, outdoor time, and organized reading. Scheduled transportation provides community arranged rides. Dining includes three restaurant style meals each day, with prepared meals served on site. Cynthia Burbach serves as administrator, and Aurora Retirement operates the community.
