About Brookdale Tamarac Square

The Retirement of Your Dreams Tucked in a neighborhood just minutes from bustling downtown Denver, Colorado, the beautiful grounds of our independent living community invite residents to exchange the burdens of home maintenance for the care-free lifestyle of a dream retirement. If you’re itching to drop the hedge clippers and plan your day with all the freedom in the world, this might just be the place for you too.  When someone else takes care of the household chores like cooking, cleaning and maintaining the yard, you’re suddenly free to spend your day as you please. Without the burdens of everyday tasks, you have the opportunity to build the retirement of your dreams from the ground up. What would that look like for you?  Perhaps it means filling your calendar with social gatherings like happy hours and excursions into the city to enjoy restaurants, local boutiques or live concerts. It may look like staying on campus and indulging in creative pursuits like jewelry making, knitting and flower arranging. Or maybe you want to push the limits of physical fitness, engaging in upper and lower body workouts, yoga and Tai Chi.  No matter how you want to design your retirement, you can find ample opportunities here to rekindle former interests or pursue new ones in the company of the greatest men and women you could ever hope to meet.  Enjoy a vast number of amenities and services, including but not limited to:  •Restaurant-style meals served in a private dining room •Spacious accommodations designed to feel and function like a home •Dedicated care team available on campus 24 hours a day, seven days a week •Personalized care plans tailored to meet your needs •Extensive community calendar with enriching activities, programs and events? With all the comforts of home and none of the responsibilities, you’re free to live life as you wish. Our dedicated care team is available on campus 24 hours a day, seven days a week in case you need us. We’re happy to help with managing day-to-day tasks and personal matters, or we can take a more hands-off approach. No matter what you prefer, we’re always available in case of an emergency.

Great independent living option

5 for all. My mom loves Brookdale. She is so much more active now but doesn't feel forced into anything. Their food is amazing. Tons of activities. Staff is wonderful and feels like a small family. We are thrilled with our choice.
