The Manor on Marston Lake sits in a peaceful spot by Marston Lake in Littleton, Colorado, where many of the rooms have decks or balconies looking out over the water and there's a gentle quiet to the place, with views that go on forever and nice areas outside for walking or just sitting and watching the sun come up, and it has a lot of trees around and plenty of places to sit with friends or just be by yourself. This locally owned facility works as a Limited Liability Company with Mr. Brandon Ropp, the owner, serving as the main contact along with Mr. Michael McQuinn helping in management, and people often say the staff are friendly, helpful, and really put a lot of effort into caring for residents. The community has 54 units in total, with 45 apartments for Assisted Living and 9 separate units in the Memory Care Cottage added in 2015, plus the building itself was put up back in 1999 so everything's on the newer side.
The Manor on Marston Lake provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, and they've arranged services so older folks get help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication, but can still keep their independence in many ways, and the staff pay attention around the clock, with an emergency call system where everyone gets a pendant, and there's always someone available throughout the day and night, and people in Memory Care have a secured area for their safety, while Assisted Living residents have more freedom inside and outside the building. Many people mention the activities they offer, like local outings, live music, movie nights, shopping trips, Bible study, and events in Littleton or places like Red Rocks Park and The Denver Zoo, and the staff plan things to match what the residents want or are able to do, so no one needs to feel left out, and there's a strong idea in this place where residents can take part in leading or even volunteering around the community if they want.
The Manor has several kinds of rooms including studios, 1-bedrooms, suites, and special Lakeview rooms, all with private bathrooms, so people can keep their own space and have a bit of privacy, and daily chores like housekeeping, laundry, and even maintenance get handled by staff, which makes it easier to relax and not worry about little things building up, and the kitchen serves varied meals that keep in mind people's different diets and preferences, making sure nutrients and flavors get balanced, and snacks are always available. They have both independent living and assisted care, so if someone can do most things themselves but needs a hand now and then or just wants some company, that can work, and if people need more hands-on help-maybe because of memory issues, mild cognitive impairment, or even hospice-they offer that at different levels, and there are nurses, outside health agencies, and doctors, dentists, or therapists who can visit as needed.
Some extra features at The Manor on Marston Lake include a full-service hair salon, in-house massage therapy, aroma therapy, internet and cable TV, scheduled group transportation, and well-lit spaces for hobbies or reading, and the staff keep the ratio at 1-to-10 in Assisted Living and 1-to-4 in Memory Care, which means someone tends to be nearby when needed. There's a non-smoking policy, and the lease terms are month-to-month with 30 days' notice, so families don't have to sign long contracts, and they don't accept Medicaid. Supplies for things like incontinence care are brought in by the resident or family, and medication support, including special requests, is available for an extra fee. The Memory Care Cottage is locked for safety, with programs to reduce confusion and support memory needs, while Assisted Living is open, airy, and easy to move around.
Reviews from residents and families often speak about the high level of kindness, the sense of community, and the good variety of activities that keep folks connected and active, though it's not perfect and sometimes there are minor issues, but overall people seem happy with the staff and care. The facility has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, though it isn't officially accredited, and the management team keeps a steady hand on daily business to give both comfort and security. People can tour the facility, either in person or virtually, and everything is set up to be straightforward, with care levels adjusting as needs change over time.
