Columbine Commons Assisted Living sits over in Windsor, Colorado, and operates from 8:00 in the morning until 5:00 in the evening every day of the week, providing several levels of care like assisted living, independent living, skilled nursing, and memory care for those with Alzheimer's and related concerns, and the place sits inside a two-story building with sixty assisted living apartments offered in six floor plans, with sizes ranging from 321 up to 437 square feet, private bathrooms with walk-in showers and benches, walk-in closets, kitchenettes, and air conditioning, and it's pet-friendly too, so folks can bring their pets along for companionship. Around the grounds, you'll find landscaped courtyards, walking paths, gardens, park access, outdoor sculptures, and a central courtyard where residents spend time relaxing, exercising, having outdoor meals, or working through physical therapy on ramps, paths, and stairs designed for fitness and recovery.
Inside, there's a fitness room, spa, wellness area, community room, library, arts and activity rooms, game spaces, and even a music program, and meals come from professional chefs working in restaurant-style dining, with options for all-day meals and staff able to handle dietary needs like diabetes or allergies, plus the place accepts Medicare. Each apartment has cable TV, Wi-Fi, phone service, and private bathrooms, and guests can stay in guest rooms. Folks get laundry and housekeeping, move-in help, and scheduled transportation rides to appointments, errands, or community outings, so they don't have to worry about travel. The staff keeps an active calendar full of daily activities, outings, fitness classes, movie nights, and even resident-run initiatives for socializing and staying busy, and devotional activities are offered for spiritual support, and chaplains are on hand for those who need them.
The facility has a 30-bed skilled nursing area for peaceful recovery or longer-term stays and does provide respite care if the main caregiver needs a break, offering therapy, infusion, nursing, and home care, with on-site pharmacy services at Centre Pharmacy for fast medication. Residents get care tailored to their needs, including help with bathing, dressing, mobility, and medication management, all handled by Personal Care Providers around the clock and nurses on duty 12-16 hours a day with a 24-hour emergency call system. Columbine Commons offers memory care with programs suited for those needing extra help with memory support, and the staff works closely with local hospitals like Banner and UCHealth for medical support and skilled nursing.
Many residents like the community's easy pace, the safe and comfortable rooms, reliable staffing, the central location near clinics, and the chance for fitness or leisure time outdoors. Every apartment has modern features, like large windows for natural light, walk-in closets for storage, and private bathrooms for privacy. Residents enjoy maintenance-free living, plenty of organized events, and a strong focus on social engagement, with common spaces built for making friends and a caring approach to individual needs, so folks can really feel at home while still getting the support they need.
