Overview of Greeley Village

Greeley Village is an 83-bed memory care and assisted living operation in Greeley, Colorado, located at 1090 43rd Ave. The building is single-story with studio and one-bedroom units, which matters if mobility is a concern. The neighborhood scores 50 on the Walk Score scale. Translation: you can walk to some things, but you’re still car-dependent for most errands. Darcie Alexander runs the place as Executive Director. She has over ten years in senior care and disability services, which is the kind of baseline credential you’d want someone in her position to have.

Staffing includes licensed nurses and CNAs on-site around the clock. That’s the setup for handling daily care and medical needs without shipping residents off-campus for routine interventions. There’s a café on-site where people actually gather, a salon, landscaped courtyards, and fitness classes. The community allows pets. If you’ve kept animals through most of your life, this isn’t a small thing.

The programming leans into wellness and social engagement. Fitness classes and regular social gatherings are the mechanism. Single-story layout plus flexible housing means the place is actually navigable for people with mobility limitations.

What you’re looking at is a modest-sized community, just under 100 beds, where nursing is available constantly, and the person steering the ship has spent a decade in the field. If someone needs memory care or is moving from independent living into assisted living, this operation has the capacity and structure to manage that transition without the institutional feel of a much larger facility.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Colorado

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Colorado?

Assisted living in Colorado supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Colorado?

Assisted living in Colorado is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Colorado Medicaid cover assisted living?

Colorado Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Colorado) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 455 assisted living facilities in Colorado. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Colorado?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Colorado, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Colorado?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
