Located
next to the beautiful Flatirons mountains in Boulder, CO, Golden West is
an innovative, non-profit senior resident community created to provide
a secure, maintenance-free environment for persons 62 years or older. The
three building complex, which was constructed in 1965, is set on extensive
grounds with beautiful mature landscaping, and is home to over 300 residents.
Many of our seniors live active lifestyles,
so our convenient location enhances a busy schedule of outside trips, shopping
and entertainment. There is also a fun-filled calendar of social gatherings
and programs planned by our professional staff. Residents, staff and volunteers
conduct many classes such as Sit and Be Fit, Fit Ball, World Affairs, Literature
Studies, Spanish, Creative Writing, Computer Training, and Ceramics, to
name a few.
Our residents enjoy many pleasant attractive
common areas in and around the buildings, including a comfortably furnished
penthouse with its own kitchen and deck. There is an activity room for
crafts or a game of pool, a well-stocked library, a full service beauty
salon, laundry rooms, a guestroom, and a gift shop. Two attractively landscaped
parks provide a pleasant area for relaxing or visiting with friends. Our
beautifully decorated dining room is the focal point of many social functions.
Other outstanding features include
cable and closed circuit TV, a wellness center, and four computers available
for games or connections to the Internet. There is ample parking available,
and the public bus system stops outside our front door entrance.
