Balfour Littleton sits in Littleton, Colorado, where seniors can choose from studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, or semi-private rooms, and you'll find private and shared spaces that are all wheelchair accessible, and there's plenty of room to move around with wide hallways, common areas, and a secured outdoor courtyard so residents can get some fresh air or join in when there's a gardening group outside. The building has controlled access and a security gate, so only those who belong can come in, which helps make people feel safe, especially those using the memory care service, which is mainly for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and they really aim to protect residents who might become confused or want to wander. The licensed nurses and caregivers who are always on site keep an eye on everyone, help with medication, and provide care plans based on what each person needs, whether someone's there short-term for respite care, or they're planning to stay for a while, and if someone just needs a little help now and then, the assisted living service is available-they help with daily things like bathing, dressing, or getting meals.
Meals are planned by experienced chefs, and there's a main dining room, a Bistro with outdoor tables, Sunday brunches, and special dinners, while the kitchenettes in the apartments mean people aren't stuck eating in one place, and those who want vegetarian or diabetic meal plans can get those as well. There's a full schedule of activities every week, from yoga and chair yoga classes to book clubs, music sessions, and arts-and-crafts, with events and outings planned for anyone who wants to go off campus and see more of the area, plus a gym and a state-of-the-art fitness center, and if someone likes being outside, the community is surrounded by parks and open fields. Housekeeping staff clean apartments and do laundry each week, and residents can use the washers and dryers on every floor for free, while other services like haircuts, doctor visits, and housekeeping for private rooms are easy to arrange. Pets are allowed, though some rules apply, and both residents and their guests have parking, and there's transportation available to get to appointments, shopping, or to join group outings. High-speed internet and cable are included, and staff speak both English and Spanish, so communication is usually smooth. The community accepts people age 55 and over, and licensed nurses are on site or on call 24/7, with personal attention to keep people as independent as possible while still helping out where needed. Residents get emergency call buttons, daily check-ins, and access to a team who are known for being courteous and responsive. The atmosphere is much like a small neighborhood, with lots of social spaces, special programs, and care that's checked up on by a review group a couple times a year, so things stay safe, comfortable, and reliable.
