Nellie Bechtel Gardens sits in a central part of Grand Junction, Colorado, and has twelve two-story buildings with a total of 96 senior apartments that come in either one or two-bedroom layouts, so there's usually something to fit most needs, and folks tend to like that the property's always well-kept with nice landscaping and walking areas. The community offers a clubhouse for tenant use where people gather for activities, both social and physical, which helps keep residents engaged, and that makes the place feel a bit warmer, especially since the staff have a reputation for being helpful and kind. Each apartment comes with its own electric range, refrigerator, and garbage disposal so doing your own cooking is easy, and every unit has washers and dryers located on the bottom floor of each building, so laundry isn't a worry.
The property is smoke-free and has controlled access features, with handicap accessibility as a standard, and there's an on-site property manager along with a resident service coordinator to help with concerns or needs, so residents can feel like there's support if anything comes up. Nellie Bechtel Gardens' units can participate in the Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance program, which offers rental help and makes the place available to seniors who need that extra support, and the lowest monthly price starts at $600.
Nutritious meals are prepared by chefs and meal planners, and people have access to help with activities of daily living if needed, with specific care programs for assisted living, memory care, and independent living, so there's a focus on meeting each person wherever they're at, all with features meant for comfort and safety. The rule is that the head of the household, co-head, or spouse must be 62 years of age or older for residency, and with an easy-to-get-to location close to shopping, restaurants, and medical services, many find it convenient. People often describe Nellie Bechtel Gardens as a friendly, safe, and comfortable place to live, and the community's picked up some recognition and awards for care and support, so that reputation isn't just talk. There's a brochure available for folks who want more detailed information about the apartments and specific offerings.
