Brookdale Skyline is a continuing care retirement community set against the scenic backdrop of Pikes Peak and the Rocky Mountains in Colorado Springs. The community creates an inviting environment by combining the natural beauty of its surroundings with a vibrant, engaging lifestyle tailored for seniors. Nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood across from Bear Creek Nature Center, Brookdale Skyline offers residents the best of both worlds: the tranquility of a mountain resort close to nature and the convenience of an urban retreat with nearby access to dining, shopping, museums, and other urban amenities. Residents can enjoy outdoor activities year-round such as hiking, golfing, or exploring local attractions like the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College or the historic district of Old Colorado City.
Life at Brookdale Skyline is defined by a variety of personalized care options. The community stands out as a rental CCRC, offering four levels of care on one campus: independent living, assisted living, memory care, as well as skilled nursing and rehabilitation services. This approach means that residents can continue to live on the same campus with increasing support as their needs change, enjoying the familiarity of their surroundings and the continued company of friends. A selection of more than a dozen floor plans ensures that residents can choose the layout that best suits their preference, from one-story garden homes with attached garages and private patios to studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments.
The daily life and amenities at Brookdale Skyline are designed to encourage not just comfort, but also creativity, social engagement, and wellness. Residents have access to numerous activities, including the Creative Crafters Club, mindfulness yoga classes, storytelling circles, line dancing, and Aqua Joints classes. Social opportunities abound with weekly Coffee and Conversation gatherings, book clubs, cooking demonstrations, and happy hours. There is also scheduled transportation to local destinations such as Park Meadows Mall or nearby stores, ensuring that errands and outings are convenient and accessible. For those preferring to stay within the community, features such as an on-site bank and ATM add to the ease and practicality of daily living.
Dining at Brookdale Skyline promises an exceptional experience each day, with thoughtfully prepared meals, changing menus, and attentive staff contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. Housekeeping services and a Personal Solutions program make independent living even more convenient by offering delivery of essential personal items such as hygiene products and healthcare supplies directly to residents’ doors, all in discreet packaging and with simple billing to the monthly statement.
Personalized health and wellness are central to the mission of Brookdale Skyline. The Brookdale HealthPlus program, available exclusively in select communities including this one, ensures clinical care coordination with an RN Care Manager overseeing residents’ medical needs. This program facilitates appointment scheduling and communication with healthcare providers and supports on-site preventive care such as screenings, vaccination clinics, and annual wellness visits. Technology at Brookdale Skyline is used to monitor changes in resident condition, ensuring that the care team can respond quickly to any physical, clinical, or dietary needs.
For those experiencing the early stages of Alzheimer’s or dementia, Brookdale Skyline offers the Crossings program, a unique support system bridging the gap between assisted living and memory care. The memory care program itself is deeply rooted in a person-centered philosophy, designed to nurture identity and foster engagement even as needs evolve. Skilled nursing is available for both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care, providing 24/7 licensed nursing support in a compassionate environment.
Brookdale Skyline is a vibrant, inclusive community that fosters both independence and support, allowing residents to make the most of their retirement years in a setting that truly feels like home. With engaging amenities, compassionate care, and a beautiful natural environment, it provides a unique combination of resort-style living and peace of mind.
