Review for The Belcaro

Overall experience was great! I would give 10 stars and under the circumstances we loved being here. We just couldn't participate as much due to [name removed] medical issues. But you doing just fine , thank you very much.

The Belcaro

The apartment manager is very personable and cares about each resident individually. I am very comfortable talking with her about concerns I have with my mom. She is understanding and willing to help in any way. She lives on the premises and her own mother lives at Belcaro. I am confident my mom is watched out for when I can't be there.

Outstanding

My husband and I moved into Belcaro last March. It is a group of independent living apartments for seniors in a lovely part of Colorado Springs. When we walked through the front door, we knew we were home. We are so happy!! We have a lovely 2 bedroom apartment. The building is very secure and immaculately kept. The outside grounds are lovely. The staff is attentive to all. The manager, is so kind and sensitive to all the residents needs. She is our advocate. She knows her residents and is loved by all. I can't rec

The perfect place for mom

My mom really loves the apartment! She doesn't even miss her previous home. All of her neighbors are extremely friendly. The manager is a terrific lady who treats every resident like one of her own parents. Belcaro is close to shopping, restaurants and CVS pharmacy, so Mom doesn't have to do a lot of traveling to get what she needs.

Critical

Beware of Skin Deep Appeal

Belcaro is on its way to becoming the nicest-looking geezer ghetto in a rapidly deteriorating neighborhood. The current mgr excels at renting rooms and throwing parties, but lacks essential skills for leading people (5 housekeepers hired/fired in 10 months), plans and paperwork. What is immediately convenient for her personally is what's always best for Belcaro. Mgr's whim outranks all medical privacy laws and disability rights. She has lost residents' support for the way she treats people who disagree with her pub
