11 Independent Living Communities in Lakewood, Colorado

Communication is very much a problem. Took almost 2 years before anyone addressed a care plan. At first care conference they gave 14 days only to have a 30 day discharge on very sparse reasoning that you can't contest. Didn't feel there was effort put into the support. The solution wasn't to try and resolve and support, it was to move to increased care.

My mom is at Lakewood Estates, and it's a very bright and very open place. It has a lot of positive energy, and they have a fantastic staff. They have a big beauty salon, religious services to choose from, a small exercise area, an arts-and-crafts area, pool tables, and theater rooms. It has a lot of amenities and social avenues. It's homey, and I think they do a very good job at trying to keep it comfortable.

I visited Lakewood Estates. The staff members were nice and thorough. The apartments were pretty nice. The kitchens were non-existent, and that was my only issue with it because my mom likes to cook. They showed me an exercise room, a community meeting room, a library, a church, and a cafeteria. I did not eat there, but the menu looked good. The facility looked nice, clean, and maintained.

The staff at The Courtyard at Lakewood seemed friendly, but the rooms were small. They were between 800 and 900 square feet, and we're looking for something a little bit larger for independent living. They offer exercise classes.

For my needs, Brookdale Green Mountain was very nice, but it wasn't a fit. The staff member was very nice, but we both realized very quickly that it was not going to be the right fit. He showed me around, and he showed me a room, which was like a hospital room. It was not cozy at all. I saw a bunch of people who were in wheelchairs, and there wasn't a whole lot going on. The place was clean and seemed well managed; however, it didn't smell good.
