If I could give The Granville 10 stars, it wouldn't be enough!…read moreI was the sole caregiver for my Grandmother for almost 5 years when it proved to be just too much for me to handle. The reason why I hadn't gotten her into her own "apartment" or facility, is because of what my mind thought an assisted living facility was going to be. I didn't want my Grandmother to be in a place that wasn't well maintained, or where the staff were abusive in any way etc etc. All the horror stories that one hears about pertaining to elder care facilities. Well, The Granville is ANYTHING but! From the second we toured the location right before the pandemic, I was put at ease. The residents seemed happy, the entire place was decorated just beautifully and extremely clean, and the staff was just so nice! It really felt like home! The help and expertise that they provided to me in getting my Grandmother approved was also a Godsend, because all of the paperwork can be tricky for someone not familiar! My Grandmother's apartment was just so lovely too! She was able to decorate it how she wanted, and there is a little kitchenette area with a fridge and microwave so she can have her favorite snacks. She has been there over a year now and I couldn't have asked for a better location to have provided the utmost care during the pandemic. They even took the necessary precautions one week ahead of time before the Government shut everything down. To accommodate all the residents who now were unfortunately unable to leave their rooms, must have been such an undertaking!! But the staff still made my Grandmother and the other residents not feel neglected and forgotten about. Making little crafts and spending a little more time with the residents so they didn't feel so alone during this scary time. They went above and beyond making sure everyone was kept safe and stayed healthy and just did an incredible job and am so grateful to everyone at The Granville. I could go on and on about the staff being just perfect and everything I could have ever hoped for, for my Grandmother. If you have a loved one and you are feeling apprehensive about locating a place where you can rest easy at night knowing they're being cared for properly and with respect, then look no further. My Grandmother absolutely LOVES living at The Granville! She has made friends, still has her independence and adores the staff! I am eternally grateful for finding the Granville and cannot thank Sara, Joe, Kathy, Jamie, Mary and the rest of the entire staff for providing this location and the care that they give to someone that means SO much to me!

My father has been a resident at the Granville for 3 years and it has been an absolutely wonderful…read moreplace for him to live. He was in a couple of other facilities that were below par before we found the Granville. From the moment we walked in, we felt that this was home. Sara, the executive director helped us with the transition paperwork and made it totally painless. The employees really make you feel like they are part of the extended family. Joe, Donna, Alicia, are just a few of the great "family" members that always have a friendly smile. I could go on and on about all of the wonderful things about the Granville. Since dad moved in I have had to move about 60 miles away and I would love to have him closer, but I haven't found any other facility that can match the Granville. For me, the drive is more than worth it to have him live here. The Granville is always clean, the employees are warm and friendly, activities are available, the meals nutritious, meds are accurate and the apartments wonderful. Since dad has lived here they have spent money on capital improvements to keep the facility in top shape and comfortable for their residence. I would and have highly recommended the Granville to anyone that is needing a place to LIVE and add to their extended "family"!

My mother died this past February. She would have been at AOH 5 years this month. I wanted to write…read morethis review to say how appreciative I have been with the loving care Mom received. There was, of course, staff turnover during those 5 years, but I never saw anyone that didn't hold Mom and the other residents in highest regard and treat them all with dignity. A beautiful example is when I let a prior staff member know Mom was near the end of her life, that person came back to visit her and give her one final hug. Times were turbulent during the pandemic, but with imaginative ideas, family members were able to continue to connect with loved ones. There were video calls, window visits, outdoor visits, and after vaccination, in person visits once again. Due to the vigilance of the people at AOH, Covid didn't find its way into Mom's house until omicron, at which time everyone was vaccinated. Mom tested positive, but was never symptomatic; her body gave up some weeks later but it wasn't due to the coronavirus. Mom was content and happy at Applewood - and I will be eternally grateful for everyone who took such good care of her.

I'm writing from the perspective of line staff employee.

In the past year I have seen: A woman I love become coherent one to two days per month. I came in on my day off to chat with her. The "ladies of Upham" reenact high school with all the hilarious drama. Petting zoo, visiting singer, aquarium visit, park visits, coffee shop outings, visiting guitarist/humorist, visiting pianist, high school carolers, fishing trip, and bowling alley outing for the residents, families and staff. A wonderfully sweet and kooky 92-year-old woman make a full recovery after coming down with the flu. A man go through a scare where his pulse dropped and his face turned blue, only to be perfectly fine the next day. A woman who said to me, "quick, go get the chickens before the plane lands, they can't go to Australia." There is a high turnover rate in EVERY caregiving company; this job is listed as the #1 most stressful job by msn for a reason! In other companies we are told "side hugs only" and that "no, we can't do this or that because it is too expensive." At Applewood, from the top down, they care about people. I try my best to treat my residents like close family. I feel supported and am happy to work here. Please feel free to come by and ask to speak to me if you'd like, I'm at the newest location on Garrison street in Arvada.

The food is good, there are always activities and outings, and it's always clean and never smells like pee (the ultimate test of a nursing home). Inside, it's brightly lit and airy with lots of windows and carpeted floors. But really, what's most amazing is the staff. They are incredibly kind, patient and dedicated. My father was initially very difficult to care for - belligerent and obnoxious. They treated him with total compassion, and eventually, once we got his medication right, he became a staff favorite. Stacie Naslund runs the place - she and her staff are absolute stars. I never once questioned my decision to place my father there, and I'm so grateful to everyone who works there. My father passed away peacefully in his room under the care of an excellent hospice team, and I felt fully supported and that he was truly cared for the entire time.

Our agent set up a tour of the facility, during which Ryland showed us the respite room that was available. The next morning we elected to reserve the room and our agent sent in all paperwork and his patient chart. However, upon learning that my father had a history of mental illness, Ryland called and asked me a million questions and asked if he could meet him, to which I agreed. Multiple hours passed then Ryland sent a sheepish email to my agent saying that a resident's family had coincidently reserved the respite room while he was supposed to be meeting my dad but was "held-up". Does he really think I'm that stupid? Given the highly unlikely chance this was true, I asked if he could get him into an apartment, to which he replied "no". He explained that family has first priority, even though we were waiting on him to finalize the deal. I then emailed Carrie, the executive director, asking for clarification. She perpetuated the same implausible story of how the room was reserved. I then emailed her back, asking what options they had for apartments. If this story was true, wouldn't they take some accountability and try to work out a solution? No response to multiple emails. Just tell me the real reason why you won't accept him. Shame on you both!
