Golden Spike Apartments is a senior living community that gives people aged 62 and older, along with mobility-impaired individuals, a place to live that's safe and comfortable, and the building is wheelchair-friendly, with elevators and apartments that have accessible features, smoke detectors, and resident-controlled entry, and people can feel secure with secured entry and emergency call services, and if something breaks, there's 24-hour emergency maintenance and on-site management staff who are around to help out, so you don't usually have to wait too long for repairs or answers to questions. The apartments come with one or two bedrooms, and they've got their own heating and air conditioning controls, so it's easy to stay comfortable, and the kitchens are fully stocked with a refrigerator, stove, and microwave, making it simple for residents to look after themselves, while laundry facilities are shared in the building. For those who like to be active or spend time with others, there's a gym, a pool table, a library, a community room, and on the 12th floor, a penthouse space with views of the Denver skyline and the mountains, which gives a nice place for get-togethers or quiet moments. The community supports a range of needs, offering independent living, assisted living, and memory care for seniors with dementia, along with community-wide care and support, all run by a trained staff and resident services and activities coordinators, so while the details on specific services or activities aren't mentioned, the staff do aim to help people live as well as possible. The offices are open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the team is known for being professional and friendly, and folks can get in touch by phone, text, or email or use an online form for questions. TTY/TDD service is available at 711 for those who need it. Golden Spike Apartments follows equal housing rules, welcoming seniors and those with disabilities, and the apartments are meant to be affordable and accessible.
Bedbugs rampant, drugs, neglect, unsafe
I live here and I'm alarmed. Bedbugs are rampant, residents openly use drugs and alcohol (I found a crack pipe by the elevator), and security systems are often shut down or unpatrolled. One tiny elevator serves ~200 people while the other is usually out for repair; fire-escape doors are left unlocked and the building is in disrepair despite nonstop construction. Management has been threatening and retaliatory with empty promises and evictions; a few staff try hard, and there have been some improvements under new management, but I still don't feel safe or cared for.
