About The Courtyards at Mountain View
The Courtyards at Mountain View is a senior living community at 8101 East Mississippi Avenue in east Denver, operated by Pegasus Senior Living. It offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care in one three-story building near the Denver, Aurora, and Glendale lines, so a resident can move in independently and add support over time without leaving the community. Care here runs the full range, from light help for active independent residents to hands-on assisted living and a secured memory care neighborhood.
Day-to-day support covers medication management and help with bathing, dressing, and daily routines, with physical, occupational, and speech therapy available on site. Memory care follows Pegasus's Connections program, a structured, evidence-based approach that pairs music, movement, and life-story work with specially trained staff and a secure floor plan. Daily life centers on restaurant-style dining with chef-prepared meals served on a flexible all-day schedule, accommodating diabetic, vegetarian, gluten-free, and other diets, with a weekly happy hour in the on-site pub.
The building adds a movie theater, a piano lounge with a fireplace, a beauty salon and barber shop, a fitness center, a game room with billiards, a library, and a country store, with a private courtyard, fountains, garden beds, and walking paths outside. The Courtyards fits families who want all three care levels in one place, with a structured memory care program and on-site therapy, in a convenient east Denver setting.
It is private pay and does not accept Medicaid, and it welcomes cats and dogs with prior approval, including visiting family pets. The location is easy for visiting and errands, just west of Interstate 225 on Mississippi Avenue, minutes from Cherry Creek and a short drive to King Soopers, Walmart, and Target.

Advisor Insight on
The Courtyards at Mountain View
The Courtyards works well for a family that wants all three care levels in one east Denver building, with a structured Connections memory care program and on-site therapy. The dining draws steady praise, and it is private pay; for memory care, it is worth asking about evening and overnight staffing on tour.
- Best for:
- Families who want independent, assisted, and memory care on one campus, with a structured memory care program and restaurant-style dining.
- Consider if:
- Medicaid coverage is not part of the offering here, and families wanting a small residential home will find this a larger, full-service building.
- Ask on tour:
- Ask how memory care is staffed in the evenings and overnight, how moves between care levels are priced, and what all-day dining covers.
- Comparison:
- Many east Denver communities offer one or two care levels; The Courtyards runs all three with a structured memory care program.
