Families here usually start by asking about Belmar, Green Mountain, Applewood, and we also tour in Bear Creek, Morrison edge, Wheat Ridge border. Referrals often reach us from St. Anthony Hospital and OrthoColorado Hospital. On the public side, Jefferson County Aging Well is the office most Lakewood families end up calling.

What do we notice about Lakewood communities?

Lakewood and the west side have more mid-priced assisted living than any other part of the metro. Good value if you are flexible on the building's age.
