I cannot say enough about Rigden Farm. My Dad was extremely apprehensive about relocating from…read moreSouthern Colorado to Fort Collins. He had been in his home for over 30 years and just couldn't wrap his head around the idea of moving. I called Rigden Farm and spoke to Kathy. She was extremely informative and answered all of my questions. She made me feel so comfortable about scheduling a tour. Kathy explained that she is off on Mondays and that Dad and I would be touring with Kirstyn. Dad and I arrived a little early and Kirstyn was just finishing with someone else. The receptionist was so friendly, showed us to the sitting room and offered a beverage. Kirstyn built a great rapport with Dad, she wasn't afraid to laugh and smile. The community is absolutely beautiful. The 2 bedroom apartment my Dad chose is large, bright, and more than enough space. Dad particularly liked the gym and the ability to walk down the hall for fitness classes. Everyone we've met along this journey has been fantastic. Angie took the time to answer all of Dads question during lease signing. She knew residents by name and shared many smiles. Since moving in Dad seems to be more himself. He is relaxed, eating well, and socializing. I wish he would've moved a few years ago.

My mother lived in her RFSL apartment for six years until her recent death at age 91. It was a…read moretruly wonderful living experience for my mom and our family. Staff consistently went "above and beyond" to provide skilled/compassionate care/support. I always enjoyed eating with Mom and her friends in the dining room, as the food was great, schedule was flexible, and the atmosphere never felt institutional. Entertainment/recreational opportunities were always varied and fun. I especially appreciated the in-house (but separately-contracted) physical/occupational therapy and home health aide services. I am a RN so I saw, personally and professionally, how well this place operates. I hope I can find a home as wonderful as this when I am older!

My sister received skilled nursing care at Riverbend for several weeks earlier this year. Although…read morethere were a few issues with the transition from the hospital to Riverbend, staff was responsive in resolving them. The entire staff - management, nursing, housekeeping, etc. - were all friendly, competent and compassionate. Many family members from all over the U.S. visited my sister during her stay and staff was very accommodating about letting us use areas where this large group could gather, play games, visit and eat together. We were made to feel welcome at all times. Staff also helped us make transport arrangements when needed. My sister passed away shortly after leaving Riverbend and all of us were comforted by the loving care she received during this final stage of her life.

I would never recommend anyone leave their loved ones here ever! I wish I could give them zero…read morestars! My uncle stayed here for 2 weeks and was mistreated horribly by the staff! He is blind and has a broken knee, was in here for "rehab" and he would call us to let us know they would leave him on the toilet for more than 10 minutes even after he would call for help! This was proven to be true by his Dr who took pictures of the bruises behind his legs from sitting on the toilet for so long, as well as the bruises on his arms and rest of his body from staff not treating him properly! F**** this place how could anyone ever treat anyone like this, understaffed or not!

I am an employee at Broadview. I have been in Admissions for not quite a year now. I can honestly…read moresay I have not worked with a better group of caring individuals. Are we perfect? No. Do we address issues as they come up? Yes. I have been involved with Broadview for many years in many roles. The care and compassion from ALL is phenomenal. From the Administrator to front line staff to the kitchen staff to housekeeping staff it is a down home family atmosphere. I have worked with Broadview as a Hospice Rep, a Home Health rep and employee off and on with the company for 15+ years. To see the great things being done at Broadview makes my heart smile!

I absolutely love and highly recommend Fairacres Manor to anybody that is looking for a home-like…read moreenvironment for their loved one(s).. My sister has been a resident there for 3 years. Having previously been in at least 4 other nursing facilities in the Denver area, we have finally found a place with consistently loving, compassionate caregivers on every level. Laundry staff, cleaning, maintenance, receptionists, CNA's, RNs, MD's Physical and Occupational Therapists , Activity specialists and kitchen staff ( If I left anyone out, it was purely unintentional ).... Bottom line, ALL are AMAZING ! I can honestly say that , in 3 years, I have not noticed anything but kindness and compassion exuding from all staff members. From the care we have received, it is quite obvious that the staff are happy in their chosen professions. A clear example of how fun and special Fairacres is would be the myriad of activities available to those who want to partake. Angie Spencer , a long time employee and Director of Activities, has worked there for years. She puts her heart and soul into making as many days and special occasions as possible super fun. On Monday, for example, when I arrived, they were having a musical chairs type cake walk. It was so fun to watch and if you "landed on" the number that was called out, you won a delicious small bakery cake ! Two days later, I arrived to see my sister and it was " Karaoke Day " . The residents who participated loved it !! Angie had also decorated the resident hallways each day with symbols of various countries , like Mexico, Spain, France etc. The food that was served throughout the day aligned with the particular country that was being showcased. Every Friday, from noon til 5, residents , either male or female can get manicures while listening to " oldies" from their younger years. I literally could go on and on with Bingo, field trips , Wii bowling , volunteer bands and singing groups , dog shows , Valentine's parties etc etc etc. She and her team go out of their way to spread warmth and joy among the residents . It is really quite remarkable. From a medical standpoint, that level of care is also outstanding. The nurses, doctors , Nurse Practitioners and CNA's are all very knowledgeable and caring. I am a retired RN MS and so , please know , that my observations come from a very objective viewpoint. My hope for anyone who is looking for a loving "home" for their family members is that you find what I and many like me have found at Fairacres. I apologize for writing a " book" , I just feel very passionately about this wonderful facility !!!
