Concordia On the Lake sits in Littleton, Colorado, beside Johnson Lake and near the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, and this community started in 1999 and serves people aged 62 and older in a peaceful, scenic place with 217 total residences that include three apartment buildings and 22 cottage homes, where over 250 residents live. The apartments come in one- and two-bedroom options, from 648 up to 1,219 square feet, some with a den or office space and even a gas fireplace, and each has its own patio or deck along with a full kitchen, washer and dryer, and heating or cooling you control yourself, while the free-standing cottages offer larger floor plans up to 2,120 square feet with special features like granite countertops, walk-in closets, and upgraded baths. Residents can bring their own furniture and some personal items into unfurnished apartments, which helps them make the space their own, and if you want to bring a pet, you may do so with a fee and some restrictions, with one dog or cat allowed per home. Concordia On the Lake is a non-smoking community with a refundable reservation deposit and services such as bi-monthly housekeeping, snow removal, full maintenance, and utilities like gas, electric, water, and trash included, plus cable TV and internet, though residents arrange renters insurance themselves.
Concordia On the Lake focuses on independent and active retirement living, so you'll find a strong spirit of community in things like shared puzzles, day trips, group adventures, theater outings, and social meals, as well as wellness programs led by health professionals who help residents stay fit and informed. Residents enjoy walking paths around the lake and grounds, raised gardens, landscaped views, and regular visits to nearby cafes, shops, and a public library, and there are off-campus van excursions to concerts, museums, ball games, art galleries, shopping, and area restaurants. They've also got a 3,000 square foot event center, a theater room with a big screen TV, billiards rooms, woodworking shop, guest suite, and a beauty salon, and within the apartment buildings you'll find community kitchens, private dining, cozy spaces with fireplaces, and libraries. There's a fitness room and organized exercise classes, too, and on-site activities fill up the calendar with movies, educational talks, parties, and games, while a full-time Community Life Director makes sure there are always new programs.
Nearby Swedish Healthpark and an emergency room offer easy access to healthcare, and pharmacies and physicians are close as well, which makes getting medical help or prescriptions simpler when you need them. Residents have safe apartment and cottage homes, with security and friendly staff who get praise for being helpful, caring, and joyful, and the management team, led by Mr. Butch Wilson, Owner/Manager, takes care of day-to-day business and resident needs. Some apartments and cottages look out over the lake or mountains, and private patios or decks make outdoor relaxation easy, while homes come with washer/dryer units and well-equipped kitchens so residents can cook what they want in their own place. The meals in the community dining area get good reviews for nutrition and taste, and there are always new opportunities for socializing, whether through resident groups or organized cultural outings.
Concordia On the Lake supports aging in place by offering a range of independent living, assisted living, and memory care services, along with senior apartments for active adults 62 and older, and options include carefree living for those who require little to no help as well as tailored care for those who need assistance with daily activities or who have dementia or Alzheimer's.
