(BOULDER) January 24, 2012 — There are more than 38,000 assisted living communities nationwide and The Carillon at Boulder Creek has been named one of the best. The Boulder retirement community is one of three assisted living communities in Colorado — and one of 119 nationwide — to be named “Caring Stars” of 2012 by Caring.com, a leading online resource site for caregivers. Designation as a Caring Star is based on consumer ratings and reviews that recognize service excellence on Caring.com in 2011; The Carillon at Boulder Creek received a top rating of five stars.
“This honor shows us that we are doing exactly what we set out to do with each of our communities: positively impact the lives of our residents, families and employees, every day,” says Leisure Care President Tana Gall. “The Carillon at Boulder Creek offers a winning combination of senior services and wellness programs that support healthy, active lifestyles in a city lauded for its healthy, happy residents.”
The reviews of The Carillon at Boulder Creek that prompted the Caring Star designation highlight the fact that it has the ambiance, amenities and activities of a resort, and a prime location close to social and cultural activities. As one relative of a resident notes on Caring.com, “The location along the creek offers hiking and biking opportunities for more active residents as well as a pleasant, paved walkway which is wheelchair friendly… In addition, the Carillon provides daily activities for the residents and something at least every couple of months for the residents and their families. These events are always well thought out.”
Managed by Seattle-based Leisure Care, The Carillon at Boulder Creek is one of Boulder’s newest retirement communities; it opened in fall 2010 after extensive renovations. It provides a combination of independent and assisted living services. Like many other Leisure Care communities, The Carillon at Boulder Creek features Leisure Care’s signature health and fitness program PrimeFit℠, as well as Brain Fitness, which is designed to improve memory, attention and communication abilities.
The Caring Stars of 2012 is the first annual ranking of assisted living communities by Caring.com. See the full list here.
