Recent reviews of Independent Living in Fort Collins, CO
5 / 5.0

The staff has been great they are very helpful, the place is clean and the food is very good. My mom has had nothing but positive thing to say. When my mom was sick they brought her meals to her apartment and called me every day to give me up dates

5 / 5.0

My dad said, "I'll take it", after touring the facility and finding they had a room available. After a little over two months there, he has nothing but positive things to say about the facility, the people, the staff, the food, and the social opportunities. He is happy!

5 / 5.0

We picked it because my mom felt comfortable there and since she was treating it a bit like a vacation, it was kind of like a cruise ship mixed with a nice apartment building because of all the activities they had for her.
