Key Review Excerpts

My mom moved in March 2023 and passed away July 2023. When she moved in she was healthy and weighed 125 lbs when she passed she was 98 lbs. I contacted Colorado dept of health and they were cited for not monitoring dining nor contacting a family member.

Memory care family member · 2024☆☆☆☆

Inglenook answered every question without any pause, invited us each time we called tour, with no appointment necessary. Which is why we chose Inglenook.

Family member · 2021★★★★★

My father has lived at Inglenook for 5 years and his quality of life has increased as a result. He has developed friendships with other residents that give him more social contact.
