The community has 55 beds, so staff and residents may have more opportunity to get to know one another closely. Room and unit choices include studios, one bedroom layouts, and two bedroom layouts. A two bedroom option can suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion.

Residents can use a salon and spa, resident gardens, and four outdoor courtyards, creating on site options for personal care and time outdoors.

Frequently Asked Questions about Independent Living in Colorado

What is independent living?

Independent living communities are residential settings for active older adults — typically with private apartments or cottages, shared amenities (dining, fitness, activities), and no built-in medical care.

How many independent living communities are listed on this page?

This page features 234 independent living communities in Colorado. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right independent living community 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 independent living communities 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.
