Senior Living In Colorado Springs

By Christian March


In case you haven't heard, Colorado Springs has recently been named one of the top locations for retirement. There's lots of good reasons. This article will highlight a few. We'll also give you a run down on the options this city provides for senior living.

There is a good reason that America the Beautiful was written during a trip to our area: It's absolutely gorgeous! For one, the sky is the most beautiful sapphire blue you've ever seen. Fortunately, we average 247 days per year where can see these blue skies. And, you can also see Pike's Peak from almost anywhere in town. Within minutes, Colorado Springs residents can leave the city and be right in some of the most beautiful mountains in the world.

Although we're a mid-sized city, we have all the things you might need need from a city; shopping, recreation, entertainment and arts. But, if you need a larger city, Denver is less than an hour away. And, there is an outlet mall between the two cities.

Although we have four full seasons, our winters are regarded as mild by most standards. We get our share of snow, but it rarely stays around for more than a few days. It's usually followed by another stretch of blue skies and temperatures that will melt it all away. This mild weather allows for outdoor activities all year long.

Colorado also has great options for senior living facilities. We have some of each of the common options; independent living communities, assisted living facilities, and also skilled nursing facilities AKA nursing homes.

Independent living facilities are for seniors that do not require assistance, but prefer to live in a community that is sensitive to their needs and lifestyle. The facilities are generally apartment style living or free standing apartments. They offer club houses and activities for their residents.

What if you can't quite manage on your won, but don't need a medical caregiver around all the time. Maybe you just need some help with a few of the regular things you need to do on a regular basis. It might be that an assisted living center is your best option. They provide a facility and caregiver to help you with just that. They can also help you with some of the organizing you need to get through a week.

Colorado Springs also has terrific nursing homes. These are for those residents that require more serious medical attention than can be provided by the other senior living facilities. These facilities have a caregiver on staff 24/7 and are prepared to offer medical assistance as needed.

If you do select Colorado Springs as your destination of choice, and are in need of an assisted living facility, I'd like to suggest Constant Care of Colorado Springs. It's a wonderful facility with a caring staff and a family environment. You'll be glad you visited.
