About The Argyle
The Argyle is a nonprofit senior community at 4115 West 38th Avenue in the Berkeley neighborhood of northwest Denver, offering assisted living and independent living. Run by the Ladies Relief Society of Denver, a charitable society that has cared for the city's seniors since 1874, it pairs a long affordability mission with a recently renovated building, and it is known for keeping costs reachable for older adults of modest means.
Assisted living fills 137 private studio apartments, each with a private bath, and a separate independent-living building, originally a 1981 affordable-housing project, adds about 50 apartments. Day-to-day care covers help with bathing, dressing, medication, and daily routines, billed by the support a resident actually needs, with a pendant emergency system at move-in and around-the-clock front-desk staffing.
There is no memory care here; the focus is assisted living and independent living. Daily life centers on communal dining in two dining rooms, with three meals a day and a light-fare menu for residents who would rather have a soup, salad, or burger, overseen by a dining director who has been with the community for about twenty years. The calendar runs every day, with yoga and chair yoga, bingo, movies, art and painting classes, educational sessions, live music, and day trips, alongside a game room, a library, an exercise room, a beauty salon, and a garden.
The Argyle fits families who need affordable, established assisted living or independent living, especially those drawn to a nonprofit with a genuine charitable mission. It works with InnovAge to help Medicaid-eligible residents, though it does not bill Medicaid directly, and pets are welcome to visit rather than live in the building. The Society's history of caring for those who cannot pay runs through the place.
The Berkeley and Highlands setting is a lively one, steps from the Tennyson Street arts district with its galleries and restaurants, near Berkeley and Rocky Mountain lakes, with Lutheran Hospital about ten to fifteen minutes west and Interstate 70 close for getting around. Operated by the nonprofit Ladies Relief Society of Denver since 1874, with a building rebuilt in 1990 and renovated in 2023 and 2024, The Argyle pairs more than 150 years of charitable mission with affordable assisted living and independent living in a walkable northwest Denver neighborhood.

I have lived nearby since 2012 and I have a job where I work with older adults. The Argyle has always held a special place for many reasons. It's not easy to be non-profit and offer care for low-income and Innovage recipients the margins are already tight. But alas, The Argyle…
