Overview of Rigden Farm Senior Living

Spectrum Senior Living runs Rigden Farm Senior Living out of the Rigden Farm neighborhood in Fort Collins, Colorado, a moderately walkable stretch (Walk Score 62) about 4.7 miles from the city center. Some daily errands are walkable from here; others will need a car. For an independent living community, that’s a reasonable position on the scale.
