Independent Living in Broomfield, Colorado

Highland Trail was really nice, but the bedrooms were on the smaller side. The staff member was amazing and called us about the VA benefits that we could get. They had an exercise room and an office where you could use their computers.

My father was in Sunrise at Flatirons. It was pretty good, but they lied to us when they said he could use the gym. He had to have someone with him when he used the gym. They were really nice and it was a beautiful facility, but the con was we ended up having to pay for someone to be with my dad -- almost like a babysitter -- during his last week. It was really stressful and they did not really help us out. They told us he had to leave because they did not want to move him into memory care, which I respected. However, they weren’t helpful at all, and it was really disappointing.

Broomfield Skilled Nursing was nice, and we didn't have any complaints at all. My mom said the food wasn't anything great, but it was acceptable. She had a good room to herself. They did a lot of rehab, bingo, and cards. They had a dining room where they all encouraged the residents to eat every day.

We visited Highland Trail. The staff was less friendly, more business-like, and not quite as accommodating. They have the same amenities as other places, like a big TV with lots of fairly comfortable chairs and different denominations that do some services in the chapel room. It is a nice thing that they have there. The place was very nice. There were one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms, too.

We really like Sunrise at FlatIrons. It has both independent and assisted living. Once the parents are not able to continue with independent living, we only have to move across the hall to the assisted living part. They have rooms where you can do activities and a full range of activities available. The independent living spaces have one-bedrooms or two-bedrooms with living area. The assisted living spaces are like studios where you have two rooms joined by a hall. They also have a kitchenette with a small refrigerator and a microwave.
