Recent reviews of Independent Living in Thornton, CO
Park Regency Thornton
5.0

The staff were exceptional, newer facility, close to my house, activities offered, they made my Mom feel like family and they cared about her. [name removed] was my main contact and she was so easy to work with and accommodated my Mom's requests. I feel there is something for everyone there. So many activities and spaces to meet and mingle. It felt like a home environment versus a facility. Being able to personalize the room with her things and decorate her door made my Mom happy. All staff members knew the residents my name.

Westhaven Apartment Homes in Lakewood, CO
4.0

I have moved in to Westhaven Apartment Homes, and I really like it so far. I like that I can still maintain an independent lifestyle here, but that it is also a very active and social retirement facility. The staff is great, and they have a lot of activities like Bingo, movies, crafts, story time; there’s a gym, too. It’s an older building, but it’s clean, and they do a good job keeping it up. I also like that it is cost efficient, and I would recommend it to others looking to keep up an independent lifestyle.

The Courtyards at Mountain View in Denver, CO
4.4

I like the size of community and the attention to all the residents and how quickly they came to recognize our loved one, to welcome her, and encourage her to get involved. They were very thoughtful during the height of the pandemic and even when they had to deliver meals they did a phenomenal job. They were so eager to get the dinning room set up correctly so the residents could come back and eat their meals comfortably. The executive director is so thoughtful an caring, and the entire staff team is amazing.
