Colorado agrees with us

Lakewood Estates has everything that an independent senior could ever need. Meals, laundry, house cleaning and so many activities. There are shuttles to get out and about town. There are so many active seniors in this facility! It's an older facility but it's kept clean.

Lakewood Estates is a hidden charmer. The staff is impeccable and very helpful -- particularly, [name removed].

I am convinced we found a place that will make my father happy.

Would recommend if they didn't serve meals so early

I would tell anyone looking that meal times are very early. I'm trying to adjust now but it's difficult for me.
