“Colorful Colorado,” as it is often called by the locals, is home to gorgeous natural landscapes, ranging from the Great Plains in the east to the majestic Rocky Mountains, which tower over much of the state. Denver, known as the Mile High City, is the state’s capital and offers all of the comforts and conveniences of a major metropolitan city. Outside of its more urban areas, Colorado is a mountainous paradise filled with beautiful sights to see and explore – an excellent retirement setting with endless opportunities for activity.
Currently, A Place for Mom partners with more than 180 independent living communities in Colorado. The median monthly cost of independent living in Colorado is about $2,400.
Independent Living
We thought it was a great value for the cost. We do wish there was a little more communication with us regarding all of her movements. She had fallen the day after thanksgiving in 2019, and she broke her sternum. She came back from that and had to go into assisted living. She had an episode where she passed out and they ended up putting her in memory care. We moved her each time, but it was never really made clear what the criteria's were for the movements. We didn't understand why she originally moved from independent living to assisted living. The regional director there was fantastic, the lady that ran the memory care was fantastic, and the lady that ran the medication distribution was fantastic.
Read moreMy husband and I have lived here for almost 2 years. I read the previous review about the Covid-19 related restrictions. All within Tri-County regulations. Unlike other Nursing home situations, our extended care has had very few Covid-19 cases. We are in independent living. The service is truly excellent. The menu for take out is extensive and varied with weekly and daily specials. When you call, ask for our 3 page menu! There are more choices and substitutions than almost any restaurant. Chef engages weekly with residents to hear comments. The Activities Department is truly creative and continually coming up with things to do that are fun and no risk. There are great walks on the grounds and a wonderful gulley/moraine adjacent. We have clubs and informal groups and a library with ever changing resources. COST: Before you choose a senior living facility, it is truly important to list ALL of your monthly costs and maintenance plans. We did and found we are SAVING money living here. The washer dryer in our unit was replaced in 24 hours with a fabulous LG pair. Appliance repairs happen same day. Snow is shoveled up to your door if you live in a cottage. The staff really care and like to know you personally. Our daughters did the tour at several places and campaigned heavily for Vi--we agree, best choice. We love the smaller community. AND, our dining room is open again for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner.
Read moreMy mom moved in to Pine Trails memory care six weeks ago. We expected it to be a really difficult adjustment and were pleasantly surprised to find how quickly she adjusted and flourished. She is wanting to be more active and enjoys when they have activities. The caregivers are gentle, kind and thorough with their care. I don’t worry about my mom having on clean clothes or if she is taking showers regularly. When I visit my mom now it is for enjoyment not to take care of her. The food is a little disappointing because they have to bring it upstairs from downstairs and sometimes can be cool. The activities department is a little weak but is increasing with the new hire. No place is perfect, but Pine Trails is the perfect place for my mom.
