Many people ask the question, “How would I benefit from Assisted Living?”
At Columbine Commons our philosophy is that each person is an individual and we welcome you like family. When you have worked a long life, you deserve to have someone take responsibility for the burden of everyday things so you can enjoy retirement.
We provide three chef-prepared meals a day in our dining room. Our staff takes care of your laundry and cleans your apartment for you. We provide a variety of activities daily for our residents to participate in. It is very comforting to know you can interact with people of your own generation who can relate to your life experiences.
