Highland Trail

Each resident at Highland Trail receives a Lively medical alert device, a service that comes with independent living at this community on West 136th Avenue in Broomfield, Colorado. Apartments are offered as studios, one-bedroom plans and two-bedroom plans, and residents who have a pet are welcome to bring it along when they move in. The community provides the device so that support is available to each resident if and when it is needed.

Housekeeping and linen service are provided once a week at Highland Trail, and the community looks after maintenance in the apartments. Scheduled transportation is available for trips around the local area as well as for medical appointments. Cable and WiFi are provided, and concierge service is offered in the building. Any resident may arrange for an outside provider of care services to visit the apartment, whether that support begins at move-in or is added at a later point.

Three meals a day are served in the dining room at Highland Trail, with options to choose from, and the cooking served there is homestyle. A bistro and a private dining room are part of the community as well. The activity program is organized around mind, body, spirit and social life, with brain games, reading clubs and art classes chosen to support thinking and learning, and yoga, walking groups and strength training on the fitness side.

Meditation and nature walks are on the calendar as well, alongside the classes and clubs. Highland Trail also has a learning center, a library and puzzle room, a game room, a large-screen TV lounge and a chapel. Studios at Highland Trail include a sleeping alcove, a living and dining space, a kitchenette and one bathroom, and a patio is available in some of them. One-bedroom apartments include a kitchenette as well, alongside their separate bedroom.

The two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments have a primary bedroom measuring 13 feet 8 inches by 11 feet 8 inches and a guest bedroom measuring 12 feet 4 inches by 11 feet 8 inches, and some of these plans have a full kitchen and a private balcony. Raised gardens and walking paths are part of the grounds outside the building. An atrium, a multipurpose room, a beauty salon and a fitness center are among the shared spaces inside.

Highland Trail suits older adults who want an apartment of their own in an independent living setting, with housekeeping, linens and apartment upkeep handled by the community. It also suits residents who plan to bring a pet with them, and people who enjoy a calendar that mixes learning, fitness and art with quieter pursuits such as meditation. It can also suit residents who would rather use scheduled transportation for errands and medical appointments, and those who want a chapel, a library and a beauty salon on site.

The Broomfield Community Center is close to Highland Trail, and residents can get there on a free shuttle service. Broomfield Commons Park and its walking trails are a walk away from the building, and the Broomfield Commons Dog Park is about a 4-minute drive. Broomfield Plaza is less than 3 miles from the community, and Taboche Winery, local shopping and dining, museums, golf, places of worship and movie theaters are all in the surrounding area.
