She keeps my cousin, who relays the information, apprised of everything pertaining the care! Crystal communicates any changes, concerns or possible adjustments in her care. She even brought Nancy treats to help her gain weight when it dropped. This includes the well being, behavior, health, behavior, interests and activity of Aunt. She even plays silly games and has fun with he, adapting as Nancy advances in her dementia! It was terrifying putting Nancy in a nursing home, but Boulder Canyon has been the ideal place for her! Because of Crystal, we never worry about her. We know that she is receiving the best care possible! She quickly became happy there, but not at the very first. The nurse even coordinates with Crystal to provide regular status reports, as well!

My mother and I are truly blessed to have found this facility! I can sing the praises of their Life Engagement Coordinator, Crystal Caprio! She is the reason that I trust that the facility always has my mother's best interest at heart. Upon my unannounced visits, I have found her to be a ray of sunshine in a difficult situation. The staff on the wing is wonderful and notifies me of any situations that they want me to know about, even if she gets a bruise from bumping her arm! They are patient, caring and kind. Crystal regularly makes sure that I am informed of my mothers health, care, changes, decisions, attitude, activities, diet issues and mood!

Seniors are now subjected to a convoluted, ill conceived meal plan which gives you credits. This requires that you eat an entire meal including entree, appetizer and dessert. If you use you credit for dinner you go over for lunch allowing Kisic to overcharge for food you didn't want anyway. There is no transparency in the billing for meals. The billing department is virtually unavailable for questions. I'm losing confidence in this place!

I went to take a tour and spoke with a few employees who all gave me some advice to get my dad out quicker from the other place. Needless to say I was stressed and wanted to get my dad moved and so I followed the advice. Well it was horrible advice that made my dad lose his insurance approval for any place! I left messages, emails for both the ladies that gave me advice and also copied upper management into the emails to ask for additional advice since I listened to them. I guess I should not be surprised they went radio silent and I haven't heard back from anyone. I honestly would have been ok with just an apology!!!!!

Frasier Meadows is a complex for the aging peoples yo, with all the amenities and niceties…read more So since I know a nurse here quite well, let me give you the skinny: Frasier Meadows is not a nursing home, as many people may think, meaning you don't walk in and immediately wish you hadn't; instead, It is a retirement community, with independent living, assisted living, and a health care center. How it works, usually, is old folks who don't want to (or can't) live on their own any longer move into one of the apartments in independent living, then, as they become older and/or more frail, they can move into assisted living. And from assisted living they can move into the health care center. Independent living consists of three main buildings, Frasier Central, Frasier North, and Frasier South. Each building has four floors and about 100 or so apartments. The people who live there drive cars, have pets, and pretty much do anything you would do in your home, with the exception of having a little extra assistance, such as laundry and activities, if needed. The assisted living building is the former health care center. It is one floor with around 100 rooms. The people who live here are generally more frail, need assistance with meals and laundry; basic every day things that we all do. It is the middle ground in Frasier, people here are not yet totally dependent on others, but not totally independent either. The health care center building sits in the middle, is three years old, and quite possibly the nicest of its type in the state. People who live here are either from independent living, working with rehab, or from assisted living, needing total care, or from the outside community needing rehab. The prices are not cheap. Most people who live here have made some money in their day. Prices range from $1,300 to $3,300 per month in Independent living. There is also an option to buy an apartment for $85,000 for a "deluxe" studio to $550,000 for a two bedroom. Assisted living prices range from $2,700 t0 $7,700 per month. Health care center fees are around $200 a day for a bed in the skilled nursing section. Mind you, all these prices vary based on whether or not you are a member of the community, and to become a member it is a hefty $31,000-$64,000, nonrefundable. Damn! A rich-ass manor, indeed. Now Frasier Meadows itself is a non-profit, church related company that owns two other communities in Colorado. So yeah, definitely not cheap, but as I said before, this is one of the best, if not THE best retirement communities in the state. Frasier also accepts medicare and medicaid insurance, which might help lower the costs somewhat. Still, you get what you pay for, and if you are aging and have some dough this place is pretty sweet: they have tons and tons of different rooms and amenities, such as barber, library, history room, Boulder over-look, etc. If your parents are aging and you have some dough and want them to be will taken care of, this place will definitely do the trick. All of course for about 2x the amount of money I make in a year.

The place was good on paper: it was fresh, breezy and well-appointed, with a private room with a view. We ignored the sign outside that said: "Help wanted, will train," a red flag for staffing issues. In fact, no one told us about staffing ratios, how frequently they'd check on him, how often he'd get a shower, or whether they'd cut his ragged toenails - and we were in such a panic to find a place that we didn't think to ask.

Beware! Kaitlyn the Care Coordinator promised us the moon when she came to our home to have us…read moresign up for services. I am blind and have a crippled foot; my husband was having total knee replacement surgery. She came to our home for 2 weeks at 5 hours per week and did meal prep, light housekeeping as we had requested. It should be noted that Skilled Nursing was not required pre-operative. The next 4 weeks leading up to knee surgery, she assigned 2 women who were not able to do the job. Post operative care was non-existent. Kaitlyn told us we were asking for too much...She wanted us to have one-on-one interaction in the same room with the caregivers. I am severely immunocompromised! They charged us 300 dollars for a sign up fee and haven't "found" another caregiver for us because it's "too hard" for them and they don't want to "burn out " their caregivers. They also promised rides to the doctor's office during the caregiver's duty hours, but, when I asked for a ride to an appointment, Kaitlyn said the caregiver doesn't have a car. We were not asking for anything unreasonable; masks, social distancing; we did not need lifting, touching or administration of infusions preoperatively. Cook, clean, take you to medical appointments. We were promised a rate of 34 dollars for one patient and discovered that Kaitlyn changed the fee to two patients at 44 dollars an hour. The worst thing was that we had no help for my husband after his surgery! They neither provide dignity nor care.
