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.
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 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.
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 mom moved to Brookdale in December 2022 after my dad passed away. We initially moved her into the independent living part of the building, and because of some cognitive issues have transitioned to her to assisted living earlier this year. These have been certainly difficult times, and difficult transitions, however, the care at Brookdale has been extraordinary. Many of these facilities have high turnover rates because of how difficult this job is; we’ve seen the same faces throughout our entire state in the independent side, and especially now through the assisted-living side of care. For the latter, the consistency is so important, particularly with memory care and issues of physical mobility. I’m amazed at how many of the staff know, not just my mom‘s name, but that of our family when we come to see her. They’ve always been kind, and tend to her as if they were part of her family. Forbanybody who is looking for a great facility with great people for these difficult times, I would encourage you to consider Brookdale University Park.
