Recommend with strong reservations
The sales team were very friendly and solicitous until you moved in, only to disappear. The administrative staff were more businesslike and less than supportive. The caregivers were very helpful and kind. Make sure you understand that they can and will decide when you will have to move from assisted living to skilled nursing care, and pay much more, or force you to move to a different facility. My relative had to transfer from assisted living to skilled nursing in the same building (after just four months there) because the assisted living staff were not trained to handle the transfers and that doing so would endanger their safety. That's a reasonable concern, but it begs the question of why they didn't train the staff to care for aging residents and spare them the stress of moving, in the absence of advanced medical needs requiring skilled nursing care. Sunrise Senior Living had no such constraints and cared skillfully and compassionately for my relative in the same assisted living apartment until his death.

Staff are great -- caring, friendly and skilled. The facility is very clean, light and free of odors. Room housekeeping is good, though thorough bathroom cleaning requires a special request. Communication with family is excellent at all levels, from staff to administration to doctor's and dental providers. Move-in was a breeze, and the food is very good, with a broad selection at every meal. The dining room is light and appealing. I would recommend Balfour Retirement Community to others.

Our expectations were not met
During the short time our loved one was there, she was infected with covid from one of the workers. They quarantined her and pretty much ignored her. This is the most expensive community in the area so we expected much more from them.

Daughter of a former resident
My mother lived at Balfour Retirement Community for the past 7 years and this is the best assisted living community in Colorado. The staff care about all the residents and treat them with the utmost respect and dignity. The management team is ultimately hands on when it comes to caring for the residents. Family members are treated great and Balfour Retirement Community is worth what they charge. The amenities are beautiful.

Son of former residents
Wonderful Senior Living Community. I have had 2 family members living at Balfour Retirement Community and they both received excellent care. The Executive Director and his team are the most caring, compassionate and kind hearted individuals. I would highly recommend this skilled nursing and assisted living community for your loved one.

Not a caring community
The place may look good but the community lacks a lot. Overpaid managers at every level the current director does not care for his residents or employees. Its all about the bonuses they make.

Mom is In Good Hands
This is a safe, good community, and my mother is doing very well since her move here. I know she is in good hands, the staff is great. They are taking good care of her, and her needs. The community, and her room are nice, and clean when I visit. They provide good meals, and nice activities offer for the residents. I would highly recommend this community, it is working out well for my family.

Steer Clear of Balfour
We were very happy with Balfour when my parents moved into Independent Living over 3 years ago. Then the changes came, a percentage was sold to a Corporation. Staff that had been with Balfour from the beginning left. The food has completely gone down hill with few items being made from scratch. And worst of all, an unwilling and unqualified management not responding to complaints. I would steer clear of Balfour.

Be Prepared For A lot Of Paper Work
I am very impressed with this community and everything they have done for my mother and me. The staff is wonderful at all levels and stays in close communication with our family to give us important updates. They also really take the time to understand your loved one needs. I would say be prepared for a good amount of paperwork on the front end but it's for a good reason and that is to build a profile on your loved one's and understand their needs better. The facility is great; it is always clean when I go to visit. The activities are diverse and fun and the food is good quality with a menu of many options. They are caring for my mother very well and I would highly recommend this community.

Find a different place!!
They are all about the money they can make. Promised us a different type of apartment but did not have when we arrived. They say ANYTHING TO GET YOUR DEPOSIT! We settled for a temporary style room. 6 months later they STILL didn't have our apartment type, When they finally did, they charged us $2500 to transfer! We finally moved out but they charged us 2 extra months rent after we left. They charge extra for every little thing. We paid for internet but our room was too far from the router to get service. They never fixed it! DISGUSTED WITH OVERALL EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Food is good. But 2 of us couldn't eat all meals each month for the excessive prices they charged for meal plans

Great Skilled Nursing Care
Their skilled nursing, I thought, was really good but I realized that he was just getting weaker and more and more dependent on them and he was not in a good mood there. I think it's a super good program but it was not the place my husband needed to be.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Colorado regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Colorado regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored Balfour Retirement Community 7.2 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
