    About Lakewood Estates | Sky Active Living

    Lakewood Estates | Sky Active Living sits at 8585 West Dakota Avenue in Lakewood, Colorado, right by the Rocky Mountains and east of Green Mountain, and you'll see a big, three-story building with well-kept grounds, an American flag at the entrance, and big windows bringing in lots of sunlight to the common areas. The place has a warm feeling with comfortable seating, fireplaces, and friendly staff who seem to know how to make residents feel comfortable, which can matter to folks who want a sense of community and safety in their retirement, and they do keep the place clean and inviting. Residents can choose from several apartment styles, including studios, one-bedrooms, or two-bedrooms ranging from 382 to 987 square feet, and many units have walk-in closets, individual thermostats, full kitchens, balconies or patios, washers and dryers, so you get independence while still having help around if you need it.

    The community focuses on independent living but also provides assisted living and memory care to support seniors who need help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or managing medicines, and there's emergency assistance through Lively Medical Alert Devices, which can be a comfort if someone gets hurt or needs help quickly. Legal protections are in place for residents from all identity groups, with guidelines supporting LGBTQ rights and keeping housing fair based on income and other factors. They offer scheduled transportation, housekeeping, linen services, and a range of meal options, including homemade food served in a nice dining room with neighbors, plus there's a bistro and private dining space too. Pets are allowed so you don't have to give up your companion animal, and activities are scheduled throughout the week-from exercise classes, walking groups, and brain games to art classes, movie nights in the community theater, and worship services in the chapel, with extra spaces like a beauty salon, fitness center, library, pool table, game room, and raised gardens for gardening.

    The whole setup is designed to let residents keep a routine, stay engaged, and keep connecting with each other, since a lot of folks look for neighbors to turn into friends at this stage in life, and there's usually something social or enriching going on, whether indoors or out along the walking paths. Common areas have couches, armchairs, and soft lighting for relaxing, and spaces like a TV lounge or library offer quiet spots for reading or catching up online. There's also spiritual support through devotional services and places to reflect. The staff handles chores like maintenance and household help so you can focus on what matters most to you, whether that's joining a group for yoga, walking the paths, learning something new in a class, or just enjoying peaceful surroundings. Utilities are included in the rent, and the team does its best to give each resident some flexibility and choices for how their day goes. Lakewood Estates connects residents to other senior resources through books, podcasts, and webinars, and with quick access to other assisted living care or health services if needed, it gives people options to age in place at their own pace, which makes life here as steady and easy as possible.
