The Courtyard at Lakewood | Sky Active Living

The Courtyard at Lakewood, run by Sky Active Living, sits at 7100 W. 13th Avenue in Lakewood, Colorado, about five miles west of downtown Denver, close to places like the Denver Botanical Gardens and Confluence Park, and people there get to live in an active and welcoming environment that tries to help them stay connected, healthy, and supported every day, because this community offers both independent and assisted living, plus memory care services and nursing help, with apartments sized from studios to one- and two-bedroom units, measuring between 471 and 685 square feet, and folks can choose from 22 floor plans, with many apartments offering balconies or patios, walk-in closets, modern kitchens with stainless appliances, and washers and dryers nearby in the hallway. There's weekly housekeeping, laundry services offered at a small fee for those who want help, and community spaces like a dining room with a chef cooking homestyle meals, a library with a coffee bar, a cozy lounge, a beauty salon, a fireplace room, and a fitness center with recumbent bikes and weights, so staying busy can come easily. Residents like the clean and large apartments, the pet-friendly policies, and the friendly staff who help folks live as independently as they can, even though assisted living and third-party in-home care can be brought in for extra support when needed. The Courtyard at Lakewood keeps its building, a three-floor property, modern and accessible with safety features like emergency support buttons and walk-in showers with grab bars, which is helpful for lots of folks as they age, and there's a busy calendar of daily activities like art classes, reading clubs, yoga, brain games, walking groups, and social events that seem to make each day a little bit different and, importantly, less lonely. Residents also use scheduled transportation to appointments or trips out, and there are group outings to places around Denver, for some fresh air and a change of scenery, which probably helps people feel more connected and less isolated. With room rates starting at $1,950 monthly, the facility's reviewed highly for its active, warm atmosphere, and people mention enjoying the variety of programs, like music, community meals, and outdoor gardens for walking, while awards like Best of Senior Living reflect that many folks value what's offered there, so it's a well-regarded choice for seniors who don't want to deal with home upkeep but aren't looking for anything fancy, just a solid place with some comforts, friends, and steady help when it's needed.
