There's no point in specifics, except to say only the cheapest cuts of meat seem to be served. The GM doesn't attend the Food Committee meeting any more, showing she has little time and/or interest in the Committee's thoughts, wishes or suggestions. She does hear complaints from residents which seem to go in one ear and out the other. So aside from some cosmetic improvements and some shuffling of staff around, it's difficult to see what she's doing besides protecting the chief cook. At this rate Mackenzie Place continues to slide down the star constellation. We are still paying a whole lot of money, and I rely on King Soopers and Trader Joe's for decent, good food. Thank heavens I like to cook. Over & out.

One star, and that's generous. My father lived here as a Medicaid/PACE resident, and the billing…read moreoffice never once got it right, not for lack of us trying. Months of private-pay invoices after his PACE enrollment took effect. Charges for personal care services PACE already pays for. A corporate billing representative once told us, mid-dispute, that internal notes showed a plan to discharge him while a state investigation was still open. We eventually got Colorado's HCPF to formally investigate. Their finding: Brookdale failed to accept PACE payment as payment in full and attempted to bill for services already covered. Not our word for it, the state's. Then this fall, months after issuing us an Executive-Director-approved credit that zeroed the account, they quietly reversed it and sent us a bill for the same amount with no explanation at all. If you have a parent on Medicaid or PACE, save yourself the year of documentation we've had to keep and go somewhere else. The whole situation was and continues to be exhausting and insane. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

My Dad died at this facility. He had open heart surgery two weeks earlier in Denver and had…read morerecently been released from ICU. After a few days, he was discharged from the hospital and moved to the Suites Fort Collins for rehab. It is likely that he was discharged too earlier, but I don't think this was the right kind of facility for someone with heart disease like my Dad. Firstly, he needed to be monitored at all times and a lot of the time he was left unattended, like he was just on vacation. There is no permanent doctor at this facility, but my Dad was still in a very weakened state. The physical therapists and occupational therapist pushed him too hard and weren't listening to what he was saying. They were most concerned with the incision where the surgery took place, but didn't have much experience with a more complex elderly person with serious cardiological issues. On Friday, he was very frustrated that his concerns were being ignored and he complained that his condition had worsened since he left the hospital, where he had been making progress. He was already able to walk with a walker and assistance. The following day, we went to see him. When we arrived the staff was running around frantically. We approached my Dad's room and he was lying on the floor. Apparently, the staff had just discovered him. We heard them say, "Call 911," and they were trying to revive him, but it was too late. We don't even know how long he was there before they found him. Someone in my Dad's state needed to be monitored at all times. I blame the hospital partly for releasing him to soon and to the wrong type of facility, but the staff at The Suites, Fort Collins was simply too negligent and inexperienced.

I cannot say enough about Rigden Farm. My Dad was extremely apprehensive about relocating from…read moreSouthern Colorado to Fort Collins. He had been in his home for over 30 years and just couldn't wrap his head around the idea of moving. I called Rigden Farm and spoke to Kathy. She was extremely informative and answered all of my questions. She made me feel so comfortable about scheduling a tour. Kathy explained that she is off on Mondays and that Dad and I would be touring with Kirstyn. Dad and I arrived a little early and Kirstyn was just finishing with someone else. The receptionist was so friendly, showed us to the sitting room and offered a beverage. Kirstyn built a great rapport with Dad, she wasn't afraid to laugh and smile. The community is absolutely beautiful. The 2 bedroom apartment my Dad chose is large, bright, and more than enough space. Dad particularly liked the gym and the ability to walk down the hall for fitness classes. Everyone we've met along this journey has been fantastic. Angie took the time to answer all of Dads question during lease signing. She knew residents by name and shared many smiles. Since moving in Dad seems to be more himself. He is relaxed, eating well, and socializing. I wish he would've moved a few years ago.

Staff consistently went "above and beyond" to provide skilled/compassionate care/support. I always enjoyed eating with Mom and her friends in the dining room, as the food was great, schedule was flexible, and the atmosphere never felt institutional. Entertainment/recreational opportunities were always varied and fun. I especially appreciated the in-house (but separately-contracted) physical/occupational therapy and home health aide services. I am a RN so I saw, personally and professionally, how well this place operates. I hope I can find a home as wonderful as this when I am older!
