The Worthington

The Worthington stands at 900 Worthington Circle in Fort Collins, one of several senior-care buildings grouped around Worthington Circle and Centre Avenue in Larimer County, within the 80526 ZIP code. At this independent living community, residents live in apartments of their own within a single building that also holds their shared spaces. Independent living is the care offered at The Worthington, and the older adults who live here keep their own private apartments under one roof with their neighbors.

A long-serving team works in the building, with much of the staff having been at The Worthington for a long time. The Worthington keeps a regular schedule of activities for residents, with the aim of keeping them active and social with one another. Shared spaces in the building include social areas as well as a dining room. One apartment at The Worthington has both a walk-in closet and an outdoor patio of its own.

The neighboring blocks hold other senior-care addresses, among them Centre Avenue Health and Rehab at 815 Centre Avenue, The Winslow at 909 Centre Avenue, and Mercer Commons, an assisted living residence about a fifth of a mile away at 900 Centre Avenue. Three parks lie within a mile of the building as well. Rolland Moore Park is under half a mile away, Woodwest Park is about half a mile off, and Creekside Park sits a little under a mile from the community.

The Worthington suits older adults who manage their own daily routines and want to stay in Fort Collins, with parks, pharmacies, grocery stores and restaurants all within about a mile of their apartment. It is a fit for people who want independent living with neighbors and staff close by in the same building, in place of a house of their own. UCHealth's Poudre Valley Hospital, a 264-bed short-term hospital at 1024 South Lemay Avenue, is a little over two miles from The Worthington in a straight line.

For emergency care, UCHealth Harmony Road ER at 4630 Snow Mesa Drive is about four miles away, and Banner Fort Collins Medical Center at 4700 Lady Moon Drive is about five miles from Worthington Circle. Like Poudre Valley Hospital, Banner Fort Collins Medical Center is a short-term hospital, while the UCHealth site on Snow Mesa Drive is a freestanding emergency department. Prescriptions can be filled at the Spring Creek location of Good Day Pharmacy at 2001 South Shields Street, about a third of a mile from the building, or at Walgreens at 1103 West Prospect Road, about seven tenths of a mile away.

For groceries, King Soopers at 2535 South College Avenue and Whole Foods Market at 2201 South College Avenue are each about three quarters of a mile from The Worthington. Restaurants sit closer than the grocery stores, with Pho Duy at 902 West Drake Road, Starbucks at 838 West Drake Road, and Tokyo Joe's and Gib's Bagels on South Shields Street, along with Simmer and Simply Thai, all about a third of a mile away.

The campus of Colorado State University lies roughly a mile north of Worthington Circle, and Transfort, the city bus service, has a stop at the corner of Centre and Worthington close to the building.
