I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My father was in Sunrise at Flatirons. It was pretty good, but they lied to us when they said he could use the gym. He had to have someone with him when he used the gym. They were really nice and it was a beautiful facility, but the con was we ended up having to pay for someone to be with my dad -- almost like a babysitter -- during his last week. It was really stressful and they did not really help us out. They told us he had to leave because they did not want to move him into memory care, which I respected. However, they weren’t helpful at all, and it was really disappointing.

Broomfield Skilled Nursing was nice, and we didn't have any complaints at all. My mom said the food wasn't anything great, but it was acceptable. She had a good room to herself. They did a lot of rehab, bingo, and cards. They had a dining room where they all encouraged the residents to eat every day.

We really like Sunrise at FlatIrons. It has both independent and assisted living. Once the parents are not able to continue with independent living, we only have to move across the hall to the assisted living part. They have rooms where you can do activities and a full range of activities available. The independent living spaces have one-bedrooms or two-bedrooms with living area. The assisted living spaces are like studios where you have two rooms joined by a hall. They also have a kitchenette with a small refrigerator and a microwave.

Everybody at Sunrise at FlatIrons was very nice. The facility was extremely nice as well. They showed me what they had available at the time. They had all the options for furnished rooms or unfurnished ones. The staff member who showed me around was very nice and answered any questions that I had. It was just very expensive.

Highland Trail was very nice. The apartment was very clean, spacious, and very easy to move in. The dining area was very nicely set up and pretty; it's a place where I would be very happy to eat. They had a very nice common area, and there were people in the waiting room getting ready, sitting, and visiting. There was a piano in there, too. They had a library and another big room where they could play games or have meetings.

Sunrise at FlatIrons was very nice. The independent living area was beautiful. The rooms were not that large at 950 square feet. They looked beautiful and had garages available, but you would pay extra for those. The food was delicious, and they had a beautiful dining room. The people were very friendly.

The staff at Highland Trail, facilities and amenities were very nice. The rooms were nice but pretty small. They had lots of activities. The day was pretty full. They had exercise, yoga, board games, and clubs. We saw the menu, but we were not there at a mealtime. The facility was very clean. It just was not what we were looking for.

My mother is in Highland Trail. It has a very homey feel and is very family oriented. The rooms are very clean and the staff is very willing to help out with anything you need them to do during the course of the day. The food is good. They have a lot of musical people come in, plus have arts and crafts, games, and puzzles.

Other Financial Assistance Programs for Assisted Living

Old Age Pension
Broomfield residents ages 60 and older may be eligible to receive financial support and medical benefits through Colorado’s Old Age Pension program

To receive OAP, applicants may also need to apply for Social Security benefits. Individuals over age 65 must apply if they earn less than the maximum SSI limit of $771. 

OAP payments combined with other income sources, such as Social Security, may total up to $809 per month.

To apply for OAP, Broomfield County residents can complete an online application or call (720) 887-2295. 

Veterans Aid and Attendance
The federal Veterans Aid and Attendance program may provide eligible Broomfield veterans or their surviving spouses with financial compensation in addition to their monthly pension.

Elderlife Financial Bridge Loans
A specific type of loan known as a bridge loan may provide Broomfield seniors of any age with a short-term solution to pay for care in an assisted living facility. Offered through Elderlife Financial, these loans offer a line of credit with distribution for up to 12 months and can be used for room and board at a senior living facility of one’s choice, moving costs or other related fees. 

Because these low-interest loans are only meant to last up to one year, seniors interested in applying should have a long-term financial plan in place. To make their approval determination, Elderlife uses financial data including the combined credit scores of all co-applicants as well as the individual’s income and asset information.

With its simple application, the loan approval process can be completed in as little as 24 hours. Individuals can apply online or call Elderlife at (888) 228-4500.
