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. I've worked in caregiving for various…read morecompanies (including PPCH, Roundup, and the non-profit United Counseling Service in Vermont) for the past decade or so, and Applewood blows them all out of the water. 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.

Staff have no working phones on a regular basis ( due to not paying the phone bill), do not show up in time (4-5 hours late), leave cleaning supplies all over, will lock themselves in the bathroom for up to an hour "cleaning" and walk out with nothing cleaned. Threw away a working appliance without permission or any logical reason to do so. Staff were told that all the no call no shows of hours were causing a decline in health and remedy was needed and the reasons was "well we are not coming then today since you said that." They decided the appropriate remedy to neglect of an at risk adult is more neglect to tech a lesson to not speak up about neglect. They hired one administrative employee that was so verbally abusive witnesses filed a police report that person is no longer with the company but the issues are persisting. They freely celebrate neglect of clients by the staff they hire and if anyone says hey, we actually need to d are providers to show up, they they say they will cancel hours for mentioning no call no shows of schedule hours impact the people they are supposed to be caring for. One caregiver is so sloppy we came to our loved one's home with dirty dishes in the dish drainer with food all on them. Things were half done and we had to step in and clean up all the messes this person left. There is no management of this company. It's staffed by mean girls being mean and caregivers that do whatever the hell they what because no one is giving oversight. One time they sent many texted to our sick and disabled loved one arguing a week is 8 days long not 7 days long. No one understood the point. Poorly managed and operated company.

The home care service I was using at the time referred me to Phil Hotaling and what a blessing that was! Phil helped me understand so many issues when it came to being in assisted living and what was and what was not provided. He arranged visits with different homes and together we toured each one. He guided me through the questions and issues pertinent to each home. I selected a wonderful place for Mom! The assisted living home has room for 8 residents and is run by a fantastic couple who live there with their two children. Mom is happy there and I'm happy she is well taken care of by loving caring people. I would never have found this place on my own without Phil's help. Thank you Phil for your help, your guidance and just your wonderful heart and caring about your clients and their family. I would never have made it through this last year with Mom and then Dad needing care all on top of two knee replacement surgeries!

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"!
