Creekside Assisted Living sits in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, tucked away in a quiet mountain spot next to a creek, right in the "banana belt" of Western Colorado where the deer and elk sometimes wander through the yard, and anyone living there will notice it's peaceful, away from the busy town and traffic. This place has small, home-like buildings, and the size can fit groups from as few as 6 people up to 32, depending on the layout, with options for private or shared suites, studios, and even two-bedroom units, all of which come furnished, offer private bathrooms, and some have kitchenettes, and folks who move in will find air conditioning, cable TV, phone, and internet in their rooms.
Staff at Creekside Assisted Living are always on hand, 24 hours a day, staying awake through the night so residents can get help anytime, whether they need help to get out of bed, to move to a wheelchair, or to manage medicines, with staff able to help with checking blood sugar and insulin for those with diabetes, plus standby assistance if walking is hard, or help with feeding if someone needs it. They offer special memory care for people with Alzheimer's as well as hospice care on-site, so if health needs change residents can stay where they're comfortable. There's a 24-hour call system for emergencies, and they watch over residents carefully while still letting folks enjoy their independence.
The community has a variety of meals cooked right there with organic ingredients, and three chef-prepared meals are offered every day, with the staff able to adjust the menu for allergies or diabetes diets, and mealtime happens in the dining room with an option to eat throughout the day, if residents prefer, and there's even complimentary transportation for outings or doctor visits if needed. Housekeeping, linen, and laundry services, including dry cleaning, are all included so no one has to worry about chores, and there's maintenance-free living so nobody needs to spend time on home repairs or upkeep.
Creekside Assisted Living holds events and activities inside and outside to bring residents together, encouraging movement and socializing through scheduled activities and things like movie nights, walking paths, a community garden, and indoor common areas, and it allows cats and dogs if someone wants to bring their pet along. The grounds, being right in the mountains, make the outdoor space especially nice, and it's not far to grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants, pharmacies, banks, and even other senior communities like Roaring Fork Senior Living and Sopris Lodge at Carbondale.
Older adults 55 and up can move in, with payment options available and different fees depending on the kind of care and room, and there's an estimated monthly fee for a studio room at $2,500, plus other community and respite fees based on care needs, which can be checked online along with floor plans and photos. Creekside Assisted Living is licensed by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, and it even helps with move-in coordination and gives guides to people who need to figure out which care fits best, including options from assisted living, independent living, memory care, respite care, to board and care home services. Residents can enjoy living in a small, supportive, mountain setting with attentive staff, private and shared living spaces, and a simple approach that's focused on comfort and daily support.
