Village Cooperative is a senior living community that offers different types of housing like Senior Apartments, Care Homes, and Village Cooperative units, including assisted living, independent living, and senior apartments for older adults who want a community feel but may need help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, medication, or meal preparation, and some folks live there with live-in caregivers. People who live there get access to amenities like individually controlled heating and cooling, in-unit washers and dryers, walk-in closets, storage, and a full security building, plus underground heated parking with a car wash and a building that's three stories tall with 52 units built over the parking area. There's elevator access, wheelchair ramps, and accessible parking, so people with mobility needs get around easily, and the apartments are pet-friendly, but they also have features for daily comfort like a great room, a pub, a lobby/reading area, workshop, guest room, and even garden plots for folks who like to grow things or just look at them.
Village Cooperative has programs like JumpStart, which hosts events like summer picnics to help build a sense of community, and for families trying to gain more education and better career skills, there are supports in place. Residents have access to maintenance request systems, online rent payment, and a resident hub where they can connect with activities and other services. There are programs to help with housing costs, including the Housing Choice Voucher program, and for those with more complex health needs, therapeutic services get funded through grants, and the community provides diabetic care, ambulatory care, skilled nursing, and memory care, plus meal services and special help with incontinence.
Village Cooperative's governance comes from a Board of Commissioners and different committees, so decisions get made with a community focus; they're involved in affordable housing projects like Redtail Ponds and Mason Place, too. They work hand-in-hand with Fort Collins Police Services, and that partnership's earned recognition. People who live at Village Cooperative can participate in social, physical, and mental activities both on-site and off-site, including devotional events, volunteering, and hobbies, so everyone can find something to get involved in if they want to stay active or connected.
Besides the main site in Fort Collins, they've got locations either completed or coming up in Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, with addresses like 416 E Horsetooth Rd in Fort Collins, 1508 Merrill Avenue in Wausau, and several others in places like Leawood, Shawnee, Lenexa, Alexandria, and Red Wing among others, plus various sales offices. With standard features like 'while you're away' services for travelers and both indoor and outdoor common areas, Village Cooperative tries to create a maintenance-free life with a feeling of ownership and pride for older adults, while offering the care and supports people might need as they age, and the environment encourages everyone to keep up with their hobbies and friendships.
