The Inn at Greenwood Village sits in a quiet spot among mature trees in Greenwood Village, Colorado, just a few miles from medical centers and not too far from downtown Denver, and it's got a warm, inviting lobby with a fireplace where residents can catch kitchen aromas or just sit and relax, and the whole place tries to create a friendly, family-like atmosphere with staff helping right from when folks move in. The community offers assisted living services for people over 55 who want some help with daily things like bathing, dressing, and taking medicine, but staff tries to give everyone as much independence as possible and tailors care to what each person needs, and you can see the effort in how they quickly spot changes in someone's health or abilities and adapt their help if needed. The Inn has several types of comfortable apartments, like studio, one-, or two-bedroom, with features for easy living like wood-style floors, kitchens, laundry, and patios or balconies, and they take care of things like lawn care, snow shoveling, and repairs so residents don't have to worry about that.
Meals play a big role here, because chefs cook up nutritious and tasty food with lots of menu options-restaurant-style dining in a nice dining room or easy meals in the bistro-and they honor special diets, like low-salt or low-sugar, and even offer grab-and-go lunches and guest meals, not to mention that folks can eat in their rooms if they prefer. Residents find nice touches like a cafe, library, movie room, sunroom, and outside areas with butterfly and hummingbird gardens, plus raised gardening beds for those who want to keep their hands in the dirt, and there's Wi-Fi all around for anyone wanting to be online. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services run each week, and there's a beauty salon and barbershop right inside the building, along with grocery shopping, dry cleaning, and even concierge support that make things easier and more convenient for everyone.
Help is never far away, and staff can assist with almost anything, including scheduling transport for medical appointments or shopping or outings, and they've got a shuttle six days a week, but the property sits close enough to bus lines too if anyone wants to get out and about on their own. There are a lot of activities and programs-like exercise classes, education groups, outings, and events aimed at keeping folks social and active-and they encourage people to get involved to stay connected, meet new friends, and enjoy their time. People will also find space for spiritual needs because devotional services happen both onsite and offsite, and there's special support if someone needs respite or hospice care.
The community tries to keep things safe and comfortable, with emergency services close at hand, assistive devices available, and accessible bathrooms-wheelchair showers and full tubs are options. The Inn also tries to involve families and caregivers through tools like a My Account dashboard to manage information and contact staff in an emergency. Residents benefit from resources, whether they need help from the Affordable Care Act, aging and disability services, or health library information, and there's an effort to connect folks to wider support like mental health resources, disaster support, or elder abuse prevention if needed. While some awards mention good care here, the biggest draw for many residents seems to be the feeling of being at home, the mix of help with freedom, and life in the kind of welcoming surroundings that make it as easy as possible for people to stay independent, healthy, social, and comfortable as they age.
