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.

The building is three stories with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floor plans. It’s pet-friendly. Residents have access to transportation services and fitness and recreation facilities on-site. Sonja Guy is the Executive Director.

Rigden Farm is classified as independent living and is not a CMS-certified provider of Medicare or Medicaid. Colorado licenses independent living communities through its own state regulatory framework, separate from the federal certification system that applies to skilled nursing and nursing home facilities. Families expecting to apply Medicare or Medicaid benefits toward a skilled nursing stay would need to look elsewhere; this is a private-pay independent living setting.

Rigden Farm fits the profile of a mid-size independent living option in a residential Fort Collins neighborhood: a branded Spectrum community with flexible unit sizes, pet accommodations, and on-site transportation, geared toward adults who want a structured living environment without clinical-level care.
