ACOYA Cherry Creek

Independent living and assisted living share an address at ACOYA Cherry Creek, 301 South Harrison Street in Denver. Stellar Senior Living operates the community. Having both care levels in the same building means a resident who moves in on their own can add daily help later without leaving familiar surroundings. That can spare a couple or a single parent a second move at a harder time.

Full board is included, with 3 meals a day plus snacks served restaurant style. Linen and housekeeping services take care of chores, and trained staff are available 24 hours a day, which gives assisted living residents help with daily tasks when they need it. Scheduled transportation handles appointments and outings, which matters for residents who have given up driving. Ask how rides are scheduled and whether longer trips cost extra.

On site, residents have a fitness center, a movie theater and a salon and barber shop, along with daily activities and social events. For medical care, University of Colorado Hospital is among the hospitals in the wider area, and the Park Hill Branch Denver Public Library is an option for residents who like to read or attend programs.

Families should ask how assisted living services are added and priced for an independent living resident, and what the base rate covers at each level. Looking at other options through senior living in Denver helps set expectations before a tour. Ask for pricing in writing for both care levels, and ask how a move from independent to assisted living is decided.
