Overview of Brookdale Meridian Englewood

Brookdale Meridian Englewood is a continuing care retirement community in Englewood, Colorado, offering independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living adds help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock.

Having several care levels can suit a resident whose needs grow over time, because moving to another level does not require leaving the community. The community has 45 beds, creating a smaller setting where staff and residents can get to know each other. Housing includes one bedroom and two bedroom options, with a two bedroom layout potentially suiting a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion, while a one bedroom layout provides a single private space. The starting price is $4,370, giving a family an initial figure for budgeting a move, and Renee Bogard serves as the administrator.

Residents have access to a fitness center, pool, salon and spa, and landscaped outdoor spaces. These provide places for exercise, personal grooming, and time outdoors on the property. Brookdale HealthPlus® includes personalized preventive care, support for chronic condition management, and continued care coordination with a dedicated RN Care Manager.

Rehabilitation services and short term rehab support a temporary stay focused on recovery. Respite care provides a short stay for a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. The dining program includes menu choices and opportunities for resident feedback and suggestions, allowing residents to have input into what is served.

Arts and crafts, gardening, and social events give residents activities to take part in. A Walk Score of 75 out of 100 means the area is very walkable, with most errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently. Pets are allowed, so residents may have pets while living in the community.

Overview of The Carillon at Belleview Station

Denver’s Belleview Station corridor, tucked between Cherry Hills Village and Greenwood Village, is home to a 207-bed high-rise called The Carillon. It’s not a single-purpose building. Assisted living, independent living, and memory care all operate under one roof at 4855 Niagara St, which means a resident’s care level can shift without a change of address.

The neighborhood itself scores a 63 on Walk Score, moderately walkable territory where some errands are doable on foot but a car still helps for the rest. Inside, residents pick from studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units. Transportation services are available for residents who’ve stopped driving, and there’s a dedicated fitness and recreation offering for those who want to stay active rather than sedentary.

Pets are allowed here, a detail that carries real weight for residents unwilling to part with a companion animal as part of a move. The community operates on private pay, worth flagging early for families building out a financial plan. Ownership and administration are both handled at the local level: a Colorado-based operating entity holds the property, with an on-site administrator managing daily operations.

Put together, this is a building designed around continuity. A resident who starts in independent living and later needs memory care doesn’t have to leave the community to get it. For families who’d rather solve that transition once, in a familiar building with a familiar staff, that structural feature is the one worth paying attention to.

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 424 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.
