Covenant Living of Colorado sits out by the hills, and the thing is, folks can choose from lots of housing options like studio, one- or two-bedroom apartments, condos, patio homes, and duplexes, most with views that really let you see a good bit of Colorado, and what some might like about the place is how they've worked to build a community that feels safe and familiar, with friendly staff and neighbors who usually say hello, where you might see people gardening or talking on the walking paths or soaking in the Jacuzzi or heated pool, and they do offer both independent living and assisted living, as well as a full nursing home section called The Village Care and Rehabilitation Center along with memory care for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, which means there's someone around day and night for help with daily things like taking medicine, moving around, or meals, and if your needs change, you don't have to move out because they've got a whole range of care right there, being what they call a Continuing Care Retirement Community, or CCRC, with medical folks on hand and therapies like physical, occupational, and speech, plus special support for people with memory or more complex health issues.
There's a library, a health club, a woodworking shop, an arts and media center where you'll find painting classes, a computer center, and plenty of spaces for activities or religious services, so on any given week you'll see everything from volunteer groups and brain games to Pilates or yoga outside, swimming, and even billiards or painting, and if you want to join devotional activities, they make room for that with chapels and visiting clergy, since they try to adjust things for all faiths, and for those who need it there's diabetic care, incontinence care, hospice, and even help with managing medicine, and you'll see amenities like underground parking for when winter comes, washers and dryers in many of the apartments, wall-to-wall carpet, window shades, private mailboxes, plus cable TV, telephones, humidifiers, and the option for housekeeping when folks want a break from chores.
Meals get served in a main dining room, with more casual options like the bistro café, and for those who still like to cook, there are full kitchens available, but there's also laundry and common areas both inside and out, good for meeting up or just sitting with neighbors, and sometimes residents end up at social gatherings, classes, or volunteer events, which keep things lively, and you do have scheduled rides to places around town, so if you need to get to a doctor, hospital, pharmacy, or maybe enjoy a meal out at the nearby restaurants or coffee shops around the college town, you're covered, and the staff tries to keep everyone included with programs called Your Day Your Way and LifeConnect® meant to pay attention to individual routines, so everybody isn't pushed into the same old schedule.
If you're caring for someone and need help for a little while, they've got respite stays, and if you're trying to keep active, there's skiing, hiking, cross-training, swimming, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and paved walking paths, plus nicely managed gardens and religious programs, and the environment stays bright, clean, and comfortable, with a good range of social and cultural programs and plenty for people who like to volunteer, relax in a sauna, or even fiddle in the woodworking shop. Covenant Living of Colorado is managed by the Covenant Retirement Communities group, who run over 15 similar places, and there's always someone on the team looking after the details, including a Director of Community Data and staff ready to help families figure things out before moving in. Their Seniorly community score stands at 7.9, so they're known for doing things at a good standard, and while it's a higher-end place, it mainly aims to offer what residents really need, focusing on care, safety, and plenty of choices in both activity and rest.
