Overview of Legacy Village of Castle Pines

Legacy Village, a 120-bed community offering independent living, assisted living, and memory care in Castle Pines, Colorado. That combination under one roof matters for families who want continuity: a resident can move from independent to assisted living or into memory care without leaving the community entirely.

Floor plans run from studios to two-bedroom units, which gives families some flexibility in how they set up a resident’s space. The Castle Pines address sits south of Denver in a quieter suburban corridor with a Walk Score of 15. This is a car-dependent area. Visiting family should plan to drive; so should anyone handling errands on a resident’s behalf.

Legacy Village operates on a private-pay basis and is not CMS-certified, so Medicare and Medicaid coverage tied to federal certification are not available. That is a structurally important fact for families building a financial plan. Costs here will be out-of-pocket or through long-term care insurance, and families should engage the community directly on pricing.

The administrator of record is Rachel Davenport Vandenheuvel.

What Legacy Village is is a mid-size, private-pay community positioned for families who want a continuum of care in one location and have the financial means to fund it privately. The physical setting is suburban and car-dependent, which suits a lifestyle where mobility is retained or where family can reliably provide transportation.
