Christian Living Communities

9570 S Kingston Ct. Suite 300, Englewood, CO 80112
Overview of Christian Living Communities

Christian Living Communities is a nonprofit senior living provider that has operated in Englewood, Colorado, since 1972. The campus is built around a faith-rooted approach and offers a complete continuum of care, covering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing alongside short-term rehab. The immediate area is car-dependent with a low walk score of 19, meaning visitors and residents will need a vehicle to handle any errands outside the property gates.

The daily routine features a resident-driven schedule supported by on-site amenities like fitness centers, swimming pools, libraries, a billiards room, movie theaters, and a beauty salon. Staff members manage daily health needs and specialized memory support while coordinating short-term rehabilitation therapies. This layout allows individuals to maintain their personal routines while having quick access to Greater Denver’s broader medical networks if a health change requires outside specialist visits.

Health department teams evaluate this multi-care campus through regular field inspections to confirm compliance with state licensing laws. This broad operational overview does not outline past citation patterns or recurring safety violations, so you can ask the executive director to go over their most recent state survey files with you when you visit.

Prospective residents can call the admissions desk to check on apartment openings, see what rehab spaces are free, or ask for the entry forms. The business office can walk you through the pricing structures for different care tiers, explain how they set up private or insurance-covered stays, and schedule an on-site tour of the campus.
