Overview of Westhaven

Westhaven offers independent living in Denver, Colorado, for adults 62 and older. It is an apartment community with private living and community services rather than daily care, making it suitable for a resident who manages daily needs independently. Elkco manages Westhaven.

Residents can choose a one-bedroom apartment with a separate bedroom and living area. Pets are allowed, so residents may bring a pet when they move in. The setting supports an active daily routine, with a pool for swimming, a fitness center for exercise, a salon for personal grooming, and organized activities for scheduled programs.

Westhaven is in the Eiber neighborhood, where a Walk Score of 72 means most errands can be handled on foot. A resident who no longer drives can still get out independently.
