The community is really good in a lot of ways. They are having a problem with hiring staff to serve the residents meals. The food is delivered cold to the residents. The community isn't able to accommodate dietary restrictions. The food really is not great at the community. The staff and residents are great to work with and are friendly. I'm glad I came here and not someplace else.
Read moreI have moved in to Westhaven Apartment Homes, and I really like it so far. I like that I can still maintain an independent lifestyle here, but that it is also a very active and social retirement facility. The staff is great, and they have a lot of activities like Bingo, movies, crafts, story time; there’s a gym, too. It’s an older building, but it’s clean, and they do a good job keeping it up. I also like that it is cost efficient, and I would recommend it to others looking to keep up an independent lifestyle.
Read moreI love it here at this community. It is wonderful, they have activities and the staff are very caring and responsive to the residents. I keep trying to get all of my friends to move in I like it here so much.

Public transportation in Denver is provided by the Regional Transportation District, which operates bus, rail, and light rail services throughout the county. A car may be necessary, however, to get around the city outside of the downtown area. There are a number of services in the city that offer senior transportation, including RTD SeniorRide, which picks up groups of ten or more people from a single destination to travel to select community events for a fee.
Denver is a major metropolitan area, and as such, offers many options for medical care. Top hospitals in the city include UC Health University of Colorado Hospital, Porter Adventist Hospital, and Sky Ridge Medical Center.
Known as “The Mile High City,” Denver has much to offer in the way of entertainment and recreation. The Denver Art Museum contains over 68,000 pieces and displays a stunning collection of Native American art, showcasing works from many different tribes of the North American regions. For a stroll through the city replete with shopping and people-watching, visit the 16th Street Mall — a pedestrian mall featuring hundreds of trees, thousands of flowers, and a pathway designed by renowned architect I.M. Pei. Train and history buffs can take a short trip outside the city to the town of Golden to visit the Colorado Railroad Museum, which features over 100 locomotives and cars, as well as photos and historic artifacts, on display in a setting reminiscent of an 1880s rail depot. Living in Denver also offers plenty of access to the great outdoors. If you’d like to take in some of Colorado’s natural beauty, start with the Denver Botanical Gardens, a 24-acre park conveniently located right within the city. Of course, no visit to Colorado would be complete without a trip to the famed Rocky Mountain National Park. Just a short drive outside the city, the park is a world-famous destination encompassing 415 square miles of awe-inspiring scenic beauty.
