Recent reviews for independent living in Big Elk Meadows

Bethesda Gardens Loveland

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!

Brookdale North Loveland

4.6
I would tell others that the staff here really bonds with the residents, always going the extra mile for them. I would say that the staff majors in caring. The facility offers 3 different sizes of rooms depending on what you may need. The cable is available, but not much else.

Brookdale North Boulder

4.9
My mom loves it there. Friendly and supportive staff. Smaller community feel. Tons of activities and a warm welcoming environment. I would recommend this facility to others.
