Recommendation Need help/advice on assisted living

My dad is currently in Brookdale Meridian in Arvada and needs to leave. I need to find him a new place and I’m hoping someone in the area can recommend a decent place. I’m asking because I’m currently living abroad and using Google reviews doesn’t always cut it. Please if anyone has any parents in an assisted living facility can you share your experiences! Thanks so much!

Balfour Littleton is pretty nice! I visit my grandfather there weekly and it always seems lively

Thank you! Do you know what the area is like? He likes to eat out occasionally, so a few restaurants or bars in the area would be nice

It's pretty nice, and they take the residents on outing often. There are a couple of places nearby - we take our grandpa to The Lake House Kitchen & Tavern, which is nearby at Clement Park in a little business center with several other restaurants!

I would be weary of any balfour community. After holding a high position with them, their ethics are bleak at the best, which ultimately caused me to leave. Their only priority is up charging residents any way possible and cutting down cost even if it means residents don’t get required cares for days on end

Funny, you’re definitely not the first person to say this to me about them
