My mother died this past February. She would have been at AOH 5 years this month. I wanted to write…read morethis review to say how appreciative I have been with the loving care Mom received. There was, of course, staff turnover during those 5 years, but I never saw anyone that didn't hold Mom and the other residents in highest regard and treat them all with dignity. A beautiful example is when I let a prior staff member know Mom was near the end of her life, that person came back to visit her and give her one final hug. Times were turbulent during the pandemic, but with imaginative ideas, family members were able to continue to connect with loved ones. There were video calls, window visits, outdoor visits, and after vaccination, in person visits once again. Due to the vigilance of the people at AOH, Covid didn't find its way into Mom's house until omicron, at which time everyone was vaccinated. Mom tested positive, but was never symptomatic; her body gave up some weeks later but it wasn't due to the coronavirus. Mom was content and happy at Applewood - and I will be eternally grateful for everyone who took such good care of her.

I'm writing from the perspective of line staff employee. I've worked in caregiving for various…read morecompanies (including PPCH, Roundup, and the non-profit United Counseling Service in Vermont) for the past decade or so, and Applewood blows them all out of the water. In the past year I have seen: A woman I love become coherent one to two days per month. I came in on my day off to chat with her. The "ladies of Upham" reenact high school with all the hilarious drama. Petting zoo, visiting singer, aquarium visit, park visits, coffee shop outings, visiting guitarist/humorist, visiting pianist, high school carolers, fishing trip, and bowling alley outing for the residents, families and staff. A wonderfully sweet and kooky 92-year-old woman make a full recovery after coming down with the flu. A man go through a scare where his pulse dropped and his face turned blue, only to be perfectly fine the next day. A woman who said to me, "quick, go get the chickens before the plane lands, they can't go to Australia." There is a high turnover rate in EVERY caregiving company; this job is listed as the #1 most stressful job by msn for a reason! In other companies we are told "side hugs only" and that "no, we can't do this or that because it is too expensive." At Applewood, from the top down, they care about people. I try my best to treat my residents like close family. I feel supported and am happy to work here. Please feel free to come by and ask to speak to me if you'd like, I'm at the newest location on Garrison street in Arvada.

I would give Tru Hospice a rating of 20, on a scale of 1 to 5 (excellent 5) !…read more Here's why: The first time I walked into the hospice floor, I felt such good energy that I knew he was in the right place! I walked in his room and a very sweet lady was holding his hand(s) and talking to kindly to him. I witnessed this while he was there. He enjoyed that! Soon I met the whole team. My first time there was so amazing, I told the doctor that if I every need to be in hospice away from home - I want to come there ! All the nurses/whole care team were kind and very experienced. My husband even had a mountain view! Daily they kept me up to date on everything, with loving compassion. He had a death doula a day or two before he passed. His last night on earth, he had the most beautiful woman (inside and out) who did a calming, relaxing Comfort Touch session. He was able to let go a few hours later. I was there in the room. It comforted me to ring the Himalayan salt bell or chime, as his body was wheeled out. I can't thank Tru Hospice enough for their kind, expert and compassionate care. Nancy Dutton 2. Early 2026 I started attending the Widows, Loss of Spouse Group at True Hospice in Lafayette. This became a haven for me, still is, being with other people who lost their spouse. We all understand what each other is going through. I will continue attending for a long time. The facilitators are so kind, gently guiding us as a group. I don't want to miss a group, it's so important to my well being. A big sigh for the help and relief I have received! Two other friends have attended this group. 3. Beaded Memories Class - A Life Changer for me was my First Beaded Memories Class in Februrary 2026. I was kind of lost or unsure of my future. Facilitataors compassionate and very helpful in creative activities. Other people and I arrived tired, sad - by the end of making our photo boxes with beads and pictures to store our memories, we were all smiling and happy ! We didn't want to leave the room. I discovered this class sparked and restored a part of me that was missing during the years of caregiving. It was so good to get back that creative, joyful part of me. I felt and still feel great hope and more direction in my future. Another friend now attends this class every time she can. I have attended 4 classes, each with a different craft to honor my loved one. Thank you for making this a year-round class of hope and joy. 4. Sound Healing class - I have attended and gained peace around the loss of my husband since starting these classes once a month in 2026. The teacher is so loving - love emanates from every cell of her body. She offers a wide range of sounds, plus her presence is beautiful inside and out. I go home calm and able to rest - removes restlessness I feel since my husband passed. 5. Mindful Meditation - I have been able to attend once in 2026. Very calming, and I went home with relaxation to sleep better. I have done a lot of mindful meditation for years on my own to help with anxiety of Loved One's health issues and then death, but will attend more in the future. 5. I am so grateful that the founders started this amazing organization Tru Hospice, which has made a huge difference in my grief journey ! I tell everyone about Tru Hospice, what they offer and how they have helped me. What I learn and feel in these classes pervades my life every day now. Such a relief! Yes, there's an ongoing journey still, but I look forward to the assistance these groups offer each time. 6. Also grateful for the generous sessions with Joan Hummel - we had a compassionate connection, fun and loving. She made a big difference in my grief journey. I will always have a warm spot in my heart for Joan. Her last session affected me for life - with my picking out of different hearts that reminded me of him! 7. A friend and I attended the annual ceremony honoring our loved ones passing at the Unity Church. We brought pictures and enjoyed all the heart-touching stories we heard. It thrilled both of us when Joan Hummel called out both of our loved ones' names. (refreshments were generous and delicious too). May you always bless grieving souls, 1. Nancy D.

Dr. Cade visited with us as a family, to talk about Stan's medical issues and explain their services. A nurse came to visit with him every few months and was available to answer any questions we had.

When Stan entered hospice care, he continued with the TruCare hospice team at Longmont United Hospital. The staff and volunteers were wonderful and provided excellent care and support to our whole family.

The employees in admissions at this place acted like the genuinely cared and wanted to help! 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!!!!!

My restaurant in Lafayette, CO is also a "dementia friendly" establishment. The team at Juniper Village have brought residents here to dine and I have seen the love and compassion they have for them. It is truly heartwarming. I know that I could count on this amazing group of care-givers should my own family ever need their assistance.

Mom has made new friends, which enhances her quality of life. I mostly interact with the staff that works directly with my Mom and they have been wonderful. There are many staff members that go above and beyond their day to day jobs to make sure that my concerns and those of my Mom are taken care of. As long as my Mom is content and happy, I am satisfied. I do worry about this industry as a whole, and have seen many things throughout the few places that she has lived and where I toured that concern me. That being said, Juniper Village is her home, and she is safe and comfortable here.

Everyone, from the administrative staff to the nurses, cnas, his social worker, physical therapy, and maintenance staff, show up every day and provide superior care for him. I appreciate that the medical staff are attuned to his needs, scheduling the healthcare appointments he requires and following through with his aftercare. They communicate frequently with me and keep me in the loop about his care. Equally as important is the wonderful atmosphere created by the warmth and genuine concern of the staff for each resident. In many ways some of them have begun to feel like family to us. We all hear terrible stories about nursing homes, but after four years I can say unequivocally that Skylake Post Acute is an excellent nursing facility. Doing this kind of work isn't easy - I believe it's a calling. And they do it very well.
