Brookdale University Park

My mother-in-law lived at Brookdale for four years before her passing. She was a resident of both the independent living and the assisted living facilities. She loved living there and the staff was the most warm, friendly, caring and professional of any that I have ever encountered. The staff of the assisted living facility went way beyond anything that I could have wished for with her care. She was cared for in an extremely professional and caring manner, always with respect and dignity. Rosalie and her staff were the most amazing care team I have ever had the pleasure of working with. There was absolutely nothing they wouldn't do for my mother-in-law, and my appreciation for what they did can't be expressed in a short review. I would highly recommend the Brookdale facility, their assisted living care staff and all their support staff to anyone who may be looking for a facility to care for their loved ones. I believe if you need excellent care for a family member, you should highly consider the facility at Brookdale University Park.

My 96-year-old mother spent 12 years living at Brookdale University Park, first independently and then in assisted living (AL). The community was engaged and supportive, the staff helpful and caring. When mom arrived in AL she required extra help with mobility and extra attention to personal care. We never worried for a moment that her needs would be met, and always with a smile. This was especially true at the very end. Brookdale U.P. is a first-rate, well-run independent and assisted living community.

My Mom is 87 and has been at Brookdale University Park for almost 3 years. I can't express how well she has been taken care of. Rosalie heads up the group and she is wonderful. Whenever I have a question or there ate any issues, she is always available to my brother and I. She responds immediately if I have questions, and also keeps us informed. Rosalie and her staff are amazing and always keeps up with our Mom. Rosalie is very straight foreword and always responds to any inquiries we may have. My brother and I feel very supported by Roslies and staff, and feel very comfortable that our Mom is being well taken care of. I can't express enough how that makes us feel. If you had ten stars, I would gladly rate Rosalie and her staff there. We love where our Mom is, and how well she is taken care of and supported.

Brookdale has been a good fit for my dad for nearly nine years. He lived at the Tamarac facility until January 2025 at which time my family agreed that he needed a bit of supervision, and so we moved him to the assisted living section at University Park. University Park is a bright and cheery place and makes a good first impression. Dad is very comfortable in his studio apartment. There is a built-in desk area, a bathroom with walk-in shower, a refrigerator and two windows which overlook an outdoor sitting area. We were able to bring in a surprising amount of his furniture, including his double bed. He is just steps away from the dining room, and the food is more than ample. The staff are all cordial, and they treat Dad with respect. They come in daily to put on and take off his compression socks, and he gets weekly laundry service and a change of bedding. Dad takes part in a morning exercise program, and other activities are available. In nice weather, one staffer takes residents to an outdoor patio for a ball-toss game. Some residents enjoy watching television on a big screen TV in the lobby, and occasionally entertainment groups come to perform. The assisted living area—staff and residents—are very much a family. All work together for the common good. I frequently stop in and chat with the manager, who is always welcoming. Someone is available 24/7 in case emergency situations arise. All Dad needs to do is press the call button around his neck. In recent weeks, his health has declined, and so we decided to bring in hospice care, and Brookdale is fine with that. They work with several different hospice agencies here in Denver. Dad will be able to stay where he is, and hospice services will come to him. No relocation is necessary. We are all pleased that Dad is where he is. Thank you, Brookdale!

This is an Independent Living with Assisted Living apartment complex. We’ve been here ~8 months and there is a variety of activities so we’ve been making new friends. The staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable which is great as we’re new to Denver and Colorado. Food has been good and filling. 4 stars since something might get better.
