Westhaven Apartment Homes sits in the Eiber neighborhood of Lakewood, CO, where folks aged 62 and over live in a quiet part of town that's friendly and close to everything you need, stores for groceries, restaurants, and places to have fun, and if someone wants to get around without driving, there's public transportation and the light rail nearby, with a walk score of 68 and transit score of 52, so you can get most places pretty easily. The building is a smoke-free place, and every apartment gets good natural light, open kitchen plans, and plenty of closet space, plus they're all air-conditioned, and for people who need it, there are accessible floor plans, apartments with bath tubs in each unit, and wheelchair-friendly showers, which helps folks who might have trouble getting in and out of the bath.
The apartments all come with basics like garbage disposals, and the whole building is made for adults 55 and older, but mostly for people 62 and up, so you won't find kids running around, mostly just folks looking for a nice, steady place to live. There's a strong sense of community because the layout and the staff encourage people to spend time together, whether it's through organized activities like Bingo, crafts, movies, or story time. The place offers social activities, a game room, social events, fitness salon, and health and wellness programs, plus laundry facilities, and there are plenty of common areas inside, so folks can meet and talk or share a meal if they want. The community's got indoor common rooms, and you get mountain and city views from some spots, which is nice for folks who like to watch the seasons.
Westhaven supports different needs with care options like assisted living, independent living, memory care, and nursing, so people can stay as their needs change, and pets are allowed, especially dogs, which is good for residents who want to bring a companion along. The staff is friendly, always around, and takes care of things quickly and properly, and there's a system so no one gets locked out if they forget their key, plus security is tight, with police patrols, night watch, and controlled entry. Westhaven also organizes devotional activities and services off-site for those seeking spiritual growth, so if that's important, it's something to consider.
The area is somewhat walkable, and you can get to shopping, recreation, and entertainment with little trouble, whether you're on foot or using the available transportation options. The building isn't huge, just a two-unit apartment setup, but the units are roomy, covering areas from 574 to over 68,000 square feet altogether, and if anyone needs help with access due to disability, the place handles that too. All in all, Westhaven Apartment Homes is a senior apartment community with features and support made for people as they get older, offering safety, comfort, and room for both quiet living and social engagement, and whether someone needs more care or just a simple independent setup, they usually find what they need.
