Testimonials
FROM A RESIDENT: Steven came to the Barth hotel in September 2023 through the assistance of a veteran’s day center. He has been homeless off and on for 40 years since he left the Navy. While in the Navy, Steven loaded and unloaded in shipping and receiving. Stationed in Africa, he has been around the world 4 times. Born in Pennsylvania, he relocated to Colorado after the Navy. He has worked many jobs in his life, carpentry, painting cars, warehouse.
He loves the Barth because it is affordable. He has met so many nice people here. He likes the location because it gives him access to the bus and transit system. He also like to read the bible. His motto is "Worry doesn’t solve anything".
FROM A FAMILY: Watching television, listening to the news, or reading the newspaper we can get the feeling that the world is going sour on us, that good is outweighed by bad. My family and I have just had an experience that helps us know good people are, indeed, among us and doing good things. Recently my mother passed away. The last place she called home was Mesa Vista Assisted Living in Parachute. My brother and I were able to relax and not worry about her well-being while she lived at Mesa Vista. The directors and staff at Mesa Vista treated my aging, sometimes cranky (OK, sometimes very cranky) mother with respect. She was able to keep her dignity during a time what was very hard for her, during a time when she was losing control of most things in her life. It took a little time, but they won her over, and she felt peace in the last home she had.
When her time came to move along, the staff treated my family with the same kindness they had shown my mother. It is beyond refreshing to have experienced the joy, love, concern and care given by the people who work at Mesa Vista Assisted Living.
I highly encourage anyone who has an aging parent that needs a home to go and visit. Be prepared for something the world needs more of--old, fashioned, tender care.
FROM A RESIDENT: Mary came to live at Park Hill Assisted Living in May of 2010. A Denver native, she was living in Golden with friends, but it was becoming very expensive. She was finding it difficult to cook for herself as the grocery store was far away. Her friends at Well Power helped her find a home at Park Hill. Mary’s favorite thing about living at Park Hill are the tall trees out front of the building and her ability to walk to the nearby park. She loves barbecue pork sandwiches and potato salad and is happy she does not have to shop and prepare her meals.
FROM A FAMILY: Cinnamon Park was a wonderful find of a hidden treasure for my 91 year old mother-in-law after she had been recovering in a nursing home from a fall. She was living in a senior independent living apartment and was unable to return to independent living. Thankfully we were able to get her into Cinnamon Park Assisted living when she was released from the nursing home. We moved a few of her special things from her previous apartment. She has made some good friends and they go on walks together enjoying the beautiful flowers, birds, squirrels in the park. She loves the social activities, trips, games, exercise and yoga classes they offer. The meals are good and the staff is amazing. They are very friendly and professional in their care. I no longer worry about her falling, forgetting to take her meds or being all alone. I can drop by and visit her as often as I like and attend some special family activities. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a place for their elderly mother or father.
FROM A RESIDENT: Kathryn recently celebrated her 100th birthday. She has lived at Madison House since 2003. She enjoys the community and activities at Madison House. Retired from nursing and a career in social work, she is a huge Bronco fan and enjoys watching the games with her friends.
FROM A RESIDENT: Barb has lived at the Olin Hotel, an independent living community, since 2017. She was homeless for a year and now shares her apartment with her cat and dog. She loves the friends she has made at the Olin and especially likes the holiday dinners in the newly renovated community kitchen.
