Golden West Senior Living in Boulder is an outstanding assisted living community in Boulder, Colorado. It is within alluring Boulder County which is part of the Centennial State.
Golden West was founded by the First Christian Church in 1965. Their efforts answered a need for senior housing in the Boulder area. Since then, the community has grown to include housing for independent and assisted living – The Towers and The Mezzanine. Golden West has led the way for outstanding living options in the Boulder area. Its strength is its people. Staff, service providers, and residents combine to create a vital and rewarding experience. With only three executive directors in its 50 years of existence, there is a caring and continuity that is consistently delivered and protectively preserved.
Determining a person’s needs before considering a move can ease the stress of a move for you and for your loved one. At first glance, it can be difficult to decide between independent and assisted living, but there are some important considerations for either senior living option.
For an older adult, key factors that influence this decision about the best type of housing are based on how well they can go about daily activities. This includes transportation, meal preparation, medication management, personal hygiene, house work and managing personal finances.
Independent living is for adults who like the features of a well-established community while maintaining their privacy and independence. In a community like Golden West, this means that things like onsite meal options, security and planned social activities are provided to residents to support continued independence.
Golden West is dedicated to the health and well-being of our residents. Maintaining a safe and secure environment is a top priority. There is controlled access to all the buildings. Resident access is through individual security cards. Guests must enter by “buzzing” the apartment they are visiting. Our security system also allows residents to alert staff to an emergency at any time of the night or day, and a daily check-in system is in place to ensure that residents are safe.
Assisted living is for older adults who need some support and assistance but not total care. This includes a routine schedule for medication management, mealtimes and basic healthcare, while maintaining a level of independence.
The Mezzanine’s specially trained caregivers provide services 24 hours per day, seven days a week. Our service package includes nurse-monitored medication programs, assistance with showers and laundry, wellness checks, three nutritious meals a day and an endless array of activities. Residents in assisted living receive one convenient monthly bill that covers rent, food, programs, utilities and our service package.
Getting together with other members of the community is rewarding. In addition to ongoing social interactions and daily routines, residents can participate in a wide range of programs, activities and events at our community. You might join others in games and conversation, or take part in resident council meetings, informational presentations, coffee and discussion groups, craft and exercise classes, bridge groups, writing groups and knitting groups. Even those who don’t consider themselves “joiners” will find themselves drawn into the action here at Golden West.
