What’s the best senior living community or facility in the Denver metro area? There isn’t one.
Not because Denver doesn’t have some of the best senior communities and facilities in the country, with literally hundreds to choose from, because we do. But because “best” is different for every senior. The key is to figure out what “best” means for you.
What’s important for you to have in your new home? Below are some criteria you might want to consider when weighing your different senior living options:
_____ Cost
_____ Location
_____ Levels of care offered (e.g. independent living, assisted living, memory care)
_____ Services provided (e.g. assistance with dressing, bathing, medications, incontinence)
_____ Types of units (e.g. private rooms, shared rooms, studios, 1-bedrooms, 2-bedrooms)
_____ Size of facility or community (how many residents live there)
_____ Meal plans and dining options
_____ Amenities
_____ Activities
_____ Transportation (individual transportation and group transportation)
_____ Pet policies
_____ Smoking policies
_____ Religious affiliation
_____ Secured environment
_____ Lease terms
_____ Accepts Medicaid
_____ Structure of the community (how many units are independent living, how many are assisted living, how many are memory care, and where the units are located within the facility or complex)
As a recommendation: Identify your top criteria that are “must haves,” and maybe even throw in some “it sure would be nice to haves,” too. Then do research on senior communities and facilities in the Denver metro area (this website is a great place to start) and make a short list of 3-5 places you’d like to visit.
Once you’ve visited a few communities or facilities throughout Denver, you might find that your priorities have shifted. Something you didn’t initially feel was important has suddenly become very important. Or something you thought you couldn’t live without might seem less crucial. If need be, make another short list of places to visit, based on your new criteria.
