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.
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.
It is a blessing to have Mom so well cared for at the Assisted Living community here. Mom started in the Independent Community at Brookdale for three + years. As her needs changed, the transition was made so easy and we couldn't be more impressed by the staff and amenities. Mom seems years younger under their compassionate assistance. Thank you to Rosalie, Zee and the entire staff for all you do every day to make such a difference.
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.
We cannot say enough good things about Brookdale University Park. It was our mother's home the final 2-1/2 years of her life, first in her beautiful independent living apartment, with its view of both the Rockies and downtown Denver, and later, following a decline in her heath and physical capabilities, in a lovely assisted living studio apartment. We did not know what to expect when we moved her to assisted living, but we soon came to realize our mom was in the place she was supposed to be. Overseen by Rosalie Corral, the Health and Wellness Director, and Ana Ramirez, Rosalie's right-hand person, the entire AL staff and the housekeeping staff, provided excellent, personalized care and kind attention that demonstrated to use every day that our mom was being care for by people who treated her as they would want their own family member to be care for. On the afternoon our mom passed away, when we pushed her call button for the final time, every member of the AL staff who was available came to Mom's bedside. Rosalie had a job to do, but everyone else just came in to say their final goodbyes and to be there for us. There were many hugs and tears. It meant so much to us to know that our mom was so loved. Thank you Brookdale University Park.
