Parkwood Estates, part of the Sky Active Living collection, sits on beautiful grounds and offers independent living for seniors who want an active and supportive place to call home, and you'll notice the small-town atmosphere as soon as you walk through the lobby doors, but you still get all the big city amenities. The community offers studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments that are roomy, updated, and easy to get around in, with modern kitchens that have full-size refrigerators, sinks, and lots of cabinets, as well as walk-in tubs, accessible showers with grab bars, and plenty of natural light, and many apartments even include a balcony or patio for enjoying some fresh air or time with a pet. Residents don't have to worry about most utilities or maintenance because these are covered in a single monthly fee, and weekly housekeeping and linen services keep apartments tidy and comfortable, so life's a little easier.
Meals come home-cooked and served in a bright community dining room three times a day, and the place feels like a real home since everyone-residents and staff-are friendly and welcoming according to people who live there. The homelike setting extends through the common areas, which are bright, clean, and cheerful, and you can always find somewhere to read or visit with friends, whether that's the well-stocked library, game room, fitness center, or any of the indoor and outdoor sitting spaces. There's a salon and barbershop right on site for personal care, and you can bring your own pet for company in these spacious apartments.
Parkwood Estates encourages a social, active lifestyle with all kinds of programs, including wellness and exercise classes, art and computer sessions, gardening, group outings, and social events like birthday or holiday parties. If you want quiet time or spiritual support, you can find that too with weekly devotional services, both on and off site, and there's transportation available for going to appointments or local attractions like parks, museums, cafes, or medical offices such as Prospect Medical Plaza. The location makes it easy to visit places like Fort Collins Museum of Discovery or nearby parks, which is handy for hobbies or just getting outside for a walk with neighbors or a pet.
Residents who might need extra help can arrange for personal care services through third-party providers like Brightstar Care, which lets people "age in place" and stay as long as they want in a familiar community. The apartments are easy to manage for seniors who want independence, and there are Lively Medical Alert Devices and 24-hour emergency help available for peace of mind. The facility's focus stays on independence, so for those who need more hands-on help each day, there are "à la carte" care options, but these do come with extra costs. Everyone who lives here gets structured activities, transportation, housekeeping, meals, and access to a variety of bright indoor and outdoor community spots, with plenty of hobbies, educational programs, and chances for friendships.
Parkwood Estates is known for a welcoming community and friendly staff, and it's part of a network of Sky Active Living communities across Colorado and the region. The environment's made for seniors who want to stay busy, safe, and comfortable, with both independence and support as needed, and apartments are available for both men and women, with some separate accommodations for women. Room rates for some communities in the network start around $1,900 a month. Residents stay engaged through group activities, shared meals, community events, and relaxing in sunlit seating areas or raised garden beds, and it's easy to make friends or just enjoy a quiet afternoon. Overall, Parkwood Estates offers a simple way to enjoy retirement in a vibrant, homey setting.
