Sunrise at Flatirons

Just over half a mile from the Flatiron Crossing mall, Sunrise at Flatirons is a 114-bed senior community at 400 Summit Boulevard in Broomfield, Colorado. Independent living, assisted living and memory care are all offered here, and short-term stays let older adults experience the community with care in place or recover after surgery. Pets are welcome at the community, which has a garden and a courtyard of its own, and Interlocken Golf Course lies about half a mile from the building.

Personalized care is available at any hour of the day or night, with medication management and healthcare coordination through the CareConnect service among the supports offered to residents. An emergency response system is installed in each suite across the independent living, assisted living and memory care apartments. Memory care follows the Reminiscence program, designed for people living with more advanced Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, and Reminiscence residents follow a separate calendar of activities.

Short-term stays range from a trial stay with care to recovery after surgery, and they also serve as respite when a regular caregiver needs some time off. Fresh, chef-crafted meals are ordered through Tableside Dining, where tablets check menu choices against a resident's dietary needs, and special diets can be accommodated. Between meals, the bistro has grab-and-go snacks on hand all day, and the activity calendar mixes fitness classes, art and music, book and walking clubs, and movie and game nights.

Social hours, trivia socials and live entertainment appear on the calendar too, alongside hiking outings, a cinema club and spiritual services. Excursions head out to local attractions and entertainment, and scheduled transportation is part of the services the community provides. Shared spaces inside include a beauty salon, the bistro and common areas set up for socializing, and Wi-Fi is available to residents in the building.

A family engagement app links residents with their loved ones, and the grounds outside the building hold a garden and a courtyard. Independent living comes in one-bedroom and two-bedroom floor plans, assisted living adds a studio option to those two, and memory care offers studios, one-bedroom suites and companion suites. The community is arranged for older adults choosing independent living, for residents who benefit from personalized assisted living care and medication management, and for people living with dementia who are supported through Reminiscence memory care.

This is a private-pay community, and its monthly rates start at $5,000, with the room rate covering fresh cuisine, daily programs, housekeeping and trash removal. Care rates are added separately, and Reminiscence rates include the program fee and medications, so it is wise to confirm current figures with the community before a move. The community sits in the City and County of Broomfield, a short drive from Denver, with a Walmart Supercenter next door on Summit Boulevard and the Town of Superior starting just across Coalton Road.

AdventHealth Avista in Louisville is a little over 2 miles away by road, roughly a 6-minute drive, and UCHealth Broomfield Hospital is about three and a half miles from the building. Intermountain Health Good Samaritan Hospital in Lafayette is just over 5 miles away by road, and Walgreens and Safeway both sit within a mile on Coalton Road in Superior. For meals out, El Tapatio Mexican Restaurant is about a fifth of a mile down Summit Boulevard, and Flatiron Crossing adds Gordon Biersch, Red Robin and other restaurants about a third of a mile away.

Miners Park lies about six-tenths of a mile from the community, and Autrey Park in Superior, home to a disc golf course, is about seven-tenths of a mile from the building.
