Overview of The Gardens at St. Elizabeth

Operated by Chi Living Communities, The Gardens at St. Elizabeth is a 105-bed senior living community in Denver’s Highland neighborhood. Administered by Christopher Miller, the high-rise building at 2835 W 32nd Ave near Colorado Boulevard offers private room accommodations, serving the Denver area for three decades.

The community occupies one of Denver’s most walkable neighborhoods, with a Walk Score of 88. Almost all daily errands and essential services are accessible on foot, so it’s an ideal location for occupants and families valuing walkability and proximity to neighborhood amenities without needing frequent car travel. The private room housing model lets occupants personalize their living space and maintain privacy while benefiting from community services and social activities offered on-site.

As a high-rise setting, The Gardens at St. Elizabeth is an urban senior living option distinct from traditional campus-style communities. This configuration suits those who like a more compact, vertically organized living environment with direct access to surrounding Denver neighborhoods.

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.
