Highland Trail | Sky Active Living sits in Broomfield, Colorado, right near Stearns Lake and not far from Denver, where the mountain views really catch the eye and the whole place feels peaceful with its quiet, suburban atmosphere, so if you're looking for fresh air, pretty landscaping, and somewhere calm, this spot checks all those boxes. The community offers several types of care and living arrangements, including independent living, assisted living, memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, nursing home services, adult day care, and home care that residents can arrange from outside providers, giving everyone quite a bit of choice for both care and daily routines.
Apartments come in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, with sizes ranging from 405 to 568 square feet, and you'll find homes with kitchenettes, walk-in tubs, some with patios or balconies, individual thermostats, washers and dryers in select units, and emergency call systems, so there's a sense of security and independence for folks wanting to tend to their own needs. Some apartments have nice features like walk-in closets and cable wiring too, and community housekeeping, linen changes, and laundry for linens are all included, along with apartment maintenance. Utilities, like heat and electricity, come bundled into the rent, which helps with budgeting, and rates start around $1,900 per month, which is on the affordable side for the area.
Highland Trail has both the indoor and outdoor spaces people seem to look for, with a craftsman-style common area, a welcoming lobby, a salon for haircuts or barber services, and multiple lounges with comfy chairs, a piano, big TVs, and fireplaces, just right for visiting with others or reading a paper. There's a dining hall where people gather for chef-prepared, homemade meals and community dining experiences, and the staff can handle dietary needs. The game room's got tables for cards and puzzles, there's a business center if you need a computer, and bright rooms throughout make it pleasant to spend time indoors, especially with all the natural light they get. The fitness center comes with basic cardio equipment, and wellness programs offer things like yoga, walking clubs, strength exercises, balance activities, and even mindfulness and meditation, so there's no shortage of ways to keep moving, and the community's always looking to add more, with residents often suggesting new activities.
Outdoor walking paths, raised gardens, and patios give plenty of space for being outside, and nature parks like Broomfield Commons are nearby for excursions. The transportation service, both scheduled trips and local rides, make it easier to get to appointments, run errands, or visit with family, and there's parking for both residents and guests. Pets are allowed for those who want to bring along a companion animal, which many seniors appreciate for company. For those who need memory support or higher levels of care, the community organizes specialized programs, offers respite care, adult day care, and can modify apartments for accessibility, and emergency help is easy to reach with Lively Medical Alert Devices provided in each apartment.
Highland Trail's friendly staff and attentive servers have a reputation for being nice and helpful, and the overall atmosphere feels welcoming and active, whether it's for socials in the dining hall, group outings, or just sitting with neighbors in the lobby or community rooms. Residents can invite family for meals or overnight stays, and staff help with VA benefits paperwork when needed. The community features a chapel, library, bistro, concierge desk, private dining space for family gatherings, and a schedule jam-packed with clubs, art classes, brain games, and special events, all designed for residents to enjoy life at their own pace and stay engaged, but there's always room for more activities if residents want to suggest something new. This place belongs to the Sky Active Living group, which has similar senior living facilities across states like Colorado, New Mexico, South Dakota, and Wyoming, and they work with other experienced housing operators to make sure communities are kept up and residents have what they need to thrive.
