Spring Creek Chalet sits behind Heidi's Chateau, off Sunnyside Rd, and you can find the sign and a red bench marking the driveway, and once you get up there, you'll see it's got a peaceful, Old World Chalet-style look set among 20 acres with gardens, a pond, walkways where folks stroll, a gazebo, and wide views of the San Juans, Grand Mesa, and Black Canyon so it's pretty scenic and quiet. The building has 26 identical, unfurnished apartments-mostly private one-bedroom units about 500 square feet with kitchenettes, walk-in showers with grab bars, private patios, en suite bathrooms, living rooms, and emergency pull-cord systems in every unit for safety, plus climate controls and things like cable TV and Wi-Fi so folks can keep up with the world if they want. Studios start at $3,200 per month for assisted living, and independent living fees start at $2,900, and there are semi-private and two-bedroom options as well, with a $3,000 security deposit and a community fee, and for those needing short-term help, there's a respite option too.
Spring Creek Chalet offers assisted living and independent living, both with an all-inclusive rent structure, and services that help seniors age in place, so if someone needs more support over time, help's there, and staff are around 24 hours a day, including awake staff and onsite homecare aides, plus they arrange for visiting therapists like podiatrists, physical and occupational therapists, and speech therapy. Seniors who need help with activities like bathing, dressing, and taking their medicine can find support, and for families looking for memory care, there's help for seniors with Alzheimer's or other types of memory loss, aiming to reduce confusion and keep folks secure. There's an activity program with things like exercise classes, Bible study, arts and crafts, music, games, outings, field trips, and more to keep people social, active, and involved, and those who enjoy green thumbs can join in tending vegetable and fruit gardens right on the property.
The place has indoor and outdoor common spaces like a family room, crafts room, library, living room, gardens, and entertainment venues, as well as a beautician onsite, devotional services both onsite and offsite, and pet-friendly rules for animal lovers, with home-cooked meals served three times a day-vegetarian options included-prepared by chefs and meal planners focusing on nutrition. There's weekly housekeeping, linen service, and laundry, plus transportation is provided in the monthly fee, including town rides and shopping trips, and if residents drive, there's parking and guest parking. Wi-Fi and cable TV are available in apartments. Safety's looked after with emergency systems, and the grounds are kept clean and calm to provide peace of mind.
Spring Creek Chalet's a family-owned operation that values letting people help themselves, and the staff get described as friendly, helpful, kind, and joyful, striving to make everyone feel at home whether they're new or have lived there a while. Visitors can come and stay for meals, and tours let folks see what daily life's like, meet the staff and residents, and check out the amenities and apartments. Overall, it's a naturally social, welcoming place for seniors wanting comfort, support, independence, and that extra peace of mind that comes from having all the little things taken care of while enjoying a good view and good meals.
