Allen Gardens - Denver, CO is a quiet senior living community for adults aged 55 and older, sitting on a green 1.4-acre site, and the place has 50 one-bedroom apartments that come with full kitchens including a stove, oven, refrigerator, microwave, and energy-efficient appliances, so residents have a chance to make their own meals if they like, and the apartments are roomy with walk-in closets, air conditioning, and paid heat and water, along with walk-out patios, picnic spots, BBQ grills, and easy building access with elevators and controlled entry for safety, plus there are security cameras residents can view and there's assigned parking for people who live there and plenty for visitors too, which keeps things easy for families who visit. The apartments are HUD Senior Housing Project 202, which means they're affordable and supportive for both seniors and people with disabilities, and the community is pet-friendly, allowing small pets, which is nice for folks who want to keep a companion animal, and the whole building is non-smoking.
The place offers assisted living, memory care, independent living, nursing home care, and in-home care, so different needs find a place here, and there's a professional leasing team who takes care of the building, with help from a full-time maintenance worker, a part-time service coordinator, and a part-time nurse, while a 24-hour emergency service brings peace of mind to families. Social activities happen regularly and there are programs for people to enjoy together, with a culture of friendliness and staff known for their kind approach that brings out smiles in both residents and visitors. Meals are nutritious, cooked by chefs and meal planners, and there's easy access to Sunday worship services at Shorter Church at 10:00 AM so people don't have to worry about transportation for that purpose. The apartments are available in affordable, market-rate, and luxury options, and they're roomy, modern, and designed for comfort with extra touches for seniors. Residents can use the laundry room on site, sit outdoors, and join pet-friendly or social events. The community gets positive review scores from residents and family members, with mentions of friendly staff, strong security, and thoughtful activity programs that try to keep people active socially, mentally, and emotionally. While Allen Gardens experienced a recent service disruption, information and help remain available through brochures and local advisors, and curious folks often say the atmosphere feels calm and welcoming.
