Resort-style senior living brings home the amenities of a vacation. From salons and spas to access to fitness trainers and nutritionists to first-class musical performances and thought- provoking lectures, the conveniences distinguishing a hotel-style senior living community are drawing those who want to spend their retirement years enjoying the best things in life.

In Boulder County, resortstyle senior living options include Frasier Senior Living,

Balfour Senior Living, Sunrise at FlatIrons and The Pearl at Boulder Creek (formerly The Carillon at Boulder Creek). Resort-style senior communities often feature comprehensive fitness programs, with perks such as an indoor track, gym, pool and daily aerobic, yoga and balance classes. At Frasier

Spas and hair salons, theaters, libraries, art studios and gardens also keep seniors active and engaged in resort-style senior living communities, as do a robust schedule of classes and outings. Many hotel-inspired senior living campuses include at least one chefled, seated restaurant, in addition to a pub or café. At The Pearl, for instance, the lead chef crafts monthly menus and holiday specials that reflect the nutritional and health preferences of the community.

Luxury senior living communities usually offer a range of supportive care, including independent and assisting living, memory care and skilled nursing care. Apartments tend to be roomier than the average senior living community, and in Boulder County, many feature balconies or patios with mountain or open space views.

Most senior living communities charge a monthly fee per level of care. Resort-style senior living can start around $5,000 per month for an independent living arrangement but varies based on included costs and amenities.

Spacious homes, great amenities, friendly staff, all-inclusive pricing and lovely neighbors in a safe, comfortable community. That’s our version of senior living.
