This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine score. It is not a government rating. A dash means we do not publish a grade for that facility: either its public record is too thin to be fair, or we hold nothing for it at all.

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.
