Balfour Senior Living

Beautiful community, great staff, and great food. The community is by far the best in Denver. My parents loves it there!

If you are looking for the caring, best place to live, this is Balfour! After experiencing another alleged care center, thank goodness the doctor we see recommended Balfour. The living arrangements are perfect for all residents. I am thrilled with the staff and the excellent, caring executive in charge. So caring and so perfect! The best of the best for you or a loved one that will love the companionship, the food, the adventures, and the sincere care from everyone there. Simply fabulous for you or loved ones or anybody!

My mother lived at Balfour Retirement Community for the past 7 years and this is the best assisted living community in Colorado. The staff care about all the residents and treat them with the utmost respect and dignity. The management team is ultimately hands on when it comes to caring for the residents. Family members are treated great and Balfour Retirement Community is worth what they charge. The amenities are beautiful.

Wonderful Senior Living Community. I have had 2 family members living at Balfour Retirement Community and they both received excellent care. The Executive Director and his team are the most caring, compassionate and kind hearted individuals. I would highly recommend this skilled nursing and assisted living community for your loved one.

Balfour Cherrywood Village has let my mom get back a high quality of life, and she loves it there. She gets treated with respect, and the staff all work to make sure every resident there is individually cared for according to their unique needs and preferences. They've got tons of activities to participate in if my mom feels up for it, from games to keep her actively thinking and exercising to weekly painting classes and frequent live music performances. She's made lots of friends with both residents and staff members. It's been an invaluable community for me and my mom to be a part of while she has Alzheimer's. She's safe, well cared for, and she's a lot happier than I remember her being for many years before she moved there. She's not scared or stressed out anymore, and she can structure her day as she likes and enjoy life. The staff are all well trained. There's a wide range of residents there, from the beginnings of memory trouble through residents that need lots of help, so she will be able to stay there with a room she knows and staff that know her hopefully for a long time yet to come. I visited a lot of different memory care units between Boulder and Denver, and BCWV wasn't the cheapest, but it was the place where I thought she would fit the best and live her best life. She's grateful to be there, and tells me so often.

My mom loves it here. She really hated the idea of having to move to memory care after it became clear she could not live on her own, but, now that's she's settled in, she loves it at Balfour Cherrywood Village. She tells me about how much she enjoys the activities, exercise, painting class, and especially how delicious the food is. She's somewhere where she and I both feel she is safe and well cared for, and that peace of mind is invaluable. The staff at Balfour are awesome and helpful and they really help you feel like it's a big community working together to maintain a good quality of life for people who need help. Balfour lets me mom be as independent as she wants, and they try to cater to each individual's tastes and preferences. The staff usually know my mom by name, and my mom doesn't have any complaints beyond constantly misplacing her TV remote.

We recently admitted my mom to Balfour Cherrywood Village after her dementia made it impossible for her to continue to live safely by herself. Everyone at Balfour, and especially [name removed], went above and beyond to get my mom placed and comfortable. [Name removed] has been such a support for us as we're navigating this new world. I sat in with my mom yesterday for trivia and when I suggested we leave early to go out to lunch, she refused! Mom enjoys the activities and although she isn't sure why she is there, my family and I are confident and comfortable that she is in the right place and is being well cared for.

My parents, both in their 80s and with Alzheimer’s/dementia, are residents of Balfour Cherrywood Village. They have lived there very happily for over one year. There room is bright and spacious and always neat and clean. The staff is outstanding. From the front desk to the activity leaders to the care team my parents are treated with respect and kindness. They love their home and their Balfour Cherrywood Village community.

I would rate Balfour at Riverfront Park a 5 as it is a very nice place and my mother likes being there everything is clean and the staff is great with the residents. They have a lot of activities such as bingo and puzzle nights, that they encourage their residents to join in my mother likes going to several of them. There is a nice dining room and my mother seems to like the menu and socializing with everyone There is transportation offered to the residents for doctor appointments and shopping, but I still like taking my mother out to help her with her shopping. They also like to do field trips for the residents that want a day out. I would have no problem recommending Balfour at Riverfront Park to my friends and family.

This is a safe, good community, and my mother is doing very well since her move here. I know she is in good hands, the staff is great. They are taking good care of her, and her needs. The community, and her room are nice, and clean when I visit. They provide good meals, and nice activities offer for the residents. I would highly recommend this community, it is working out well for my family.

Great care and very nice facility - $$$$ - hopefully get what you pay for.

I am very impressed with this community and everything they have done for my mother and me. The staff is wonderful at all levels and stays in close communication with our family to give us important updates. They also really take the time to understand your loved one needs. I would say be prepared for a good amount of paperwork on the front end but it's for a good reason and that is to build a profile on your loved one's and understand their needs better. The facility is great; it is always clean when I go to visit. The activities are diverse and fun and the food is good quality with a menu of many options. They are caring for my mother very well and I would highly recommend this community.

This is the best place my Mom visited.

This is the country club of assisted living, it's pretty upscale and very nice. It's also country club pricing. It is a beautiful community.

Mom has been there less than a week but already feels comfortable and at home. The staff made the transition easy and gave her a warm welcome. I think she will be content there.

On the positive note - the residents do not have to wear masks. They receive very friendly care from the staff and they seem to genuinely care. He has ben able to keep a lot of his independence. They also have a men's club as well which is nice and a lot of activities as well. They do have an app and they comminute to the families on all the activities your loved one will participate in. Sometimes they have photos as well. You can also send messages and cards through the app. They have a personal car service that he is able to pay to take him down and back to whenever he wants to go or they are able to order an Uber for him too. He is in a very big studio and it works out great for him. On the downside from what I understand the transition was a bit tough. They did not do his laundry for a couple of weeks when he first moved in because they did not know they were supposed to be doing it. There have been some communication issues, they do get resolved when brought up but they do have to be addressed. The employees are wonderful but I do think they are mad they have to wear masks every day and it slows them down. There was some inconsistencies on the mask policy as well but those seem to have been dropped. They staff really have been great and they bend over backwards. Overall it is a wonderful place, especially if you are independent. There are just some things they could improve on.

I liked this community when we visited. It is beautiful and they offer some great amenities. The community is clean and the people I met were nice. This community was just a little more expensive that what we were looking for.

I am celebrating my one week anniversary at Balfour at Riverfront Park in Denver. In this short time I have been welcomed by staff and residents alike. They all remember my name and are happy to remind me of theirs. The neighborhood is very vibrant, almost more like San Francisco than Denver. All ages are visible near the parks and people watching from benches or outdoor cafes is very pleasant. My dog is welcomed in the entry area and any public space where food is not available. Coffee or tea is a;ways available, If I want to take a some to my apartment, the concierge is wiling to hold his leash while I grab a cup to go. The services and amenities are exactly as described. I couldn't be happier. I thank Sandy from A Place For Mom for finding this location for me.

Friendly and professional staff, good food, 24/7 care stand out. Amenities are outstanding. Rooms remind me of extended stay hotels, like Renaissance Inn and Hyatt House.

Staff are great -- caring, friendly and skilled. The facility is very clean, light and free of odors. Room housekeeping is good, though thorough bathroom cleaning requires a special request. Communication with family is excellent at all levels, from staff to administration to doctor's and dental providers. Move-in was a breeze, and the food is very good, with a broad selection at every meal. The dining room is light and appealing. I would recommend Balfour Retirement Community to others.
