a home for life collaboration

Live to assist is the very best facility for caring for a loved one anywhere on the planet. The staff is always available and well trained for any type of person. We relocated my father from Arkansas and he instantly adjusted to all the friendly staff and residents. The owners are available and ready to assist when needed. I also have two friends who entrusted Live to Assist with their mothers. Both ladies thrived and made it their home. One family felt so secure with the care given to their loved one, that they moved to South Carolina and left their family member in the loving, capable hands of the staff of Live to Assist! I have worked with seniors and presently do hospice work in Northern Colorado. I wish I had the words to express the beauty of Live to Assist. Please feel free to contact me for more information.

Monarch Greens is a beautiful home offering assisted living, located in a really nice, quiet, peaceful neighborhood near Fort Collins Country Club. I have known the owners Erin and MeLisa for many years. They are both caring, fun, kind, trustworthy, good people. They have always been really amazing to work with. I highly recommend them for anyone who needs a peaceful, comfortable place to call home. - 3/02/2020 

The owners and staff are very caring, and I see that they love what they do. The residents are happy living there. A beautiful space and place. Has a nice garden and view of the mountains. - 3/05/2020 

I am biased, but this is an amazing home filled with wonderful people, pets and activities. It is the best place to live when it comes to assisted living in Fort Collins! - 7/19/2018 

My mom is 93 years old and recently moved from independent living to Seneca House Assisted Living. She has been a resident now for 5 months. I have been very pleased with the staff interactions with mom and the communication with her doctors office. Seneca House is a smaller assisted living arrangement that has the feel of a family living arrangement vs the big box commercial arrangement. - 12/20/2018 

Turnberry Place ispne of the nicest Assisted Living Places around. I compare it to others where I have had family members and friends reside. The smaller home arrangement is one of the things that makes Turnberry different from the others. Because of the size, the residents get more one-on-one personal care, it gives the residents a chance to socialize and make friendships, and they are able to plan activities both in-house and in the community. Rachael, the owner, is the best and she hires a staff that really cares about the residents. Could not be happier with an Assisted Living facility. - 2/11/2020 

The staff really take a good care of my mother. Make sure that she takes her pills. Give her homemade meals. Have her play card games and puzzles too. Let her sit in the common room so she can watch tv. Or outside to enjoy the breeze and look at the gardens. They allow dogs and cats too. 🐶🐱 - 5/28/2019 

Friendly staff, caring, personable and helpful. No strange or stagnate aroma's. My friends mother is their and I often visit her. - 10/24/2016 

Extremely caring staff. A beautiful, clean, spacious home near the Front Range Community College. One of the best residential assisted living options in Fort Collins. - 11/25/2020

We were so grateful to have found Live to Assist for my dear elderly mother. After having experienced two large assisted living facilities and two other home-based assisted living facilities, we were able to make a fair comparison. Live to Assist offers the best care on a daily basis that my mother has ever received.

The staff is patient, loving, and attentive to her needs. They are willing to take time to visit with her, to massage her aging, arthritic hands, to simply sit and talk and share stories while drinking coffee or milk and eating cookies.

This is so important for my mother because she wants to feel significant. It has fascinated me how the staff can anticipate my mother's needs ahead of time and meet those needs effectively.

Having nutritious and delicious food choices was also important because my mother loves food and loves the social time meals provide. Most of the time when I am visiting, I catch either the beginning of a meal or the end, so I am careful to observe what is being served. I have seen near gourmet meals like organic chicken breast wrapped around asparagus, roasts, meatloaf, potatoes, beets, squash, homemade pies, cakes, and cookies. My mother's favorite meal is breakfast. She is allowed to order as if she were in a restaurant. Most of the time it is eggs, sausage, toast, cereal, french toast, coffee or all of the above. It's really impressive how the staff accommodates the needs of the residents.

As an adult child overseeing the care of an elderly parent, we are often more concerned about the ambiance of a facility than the genuine care, but I have found that my mother, being the resident, values the care and attention above all else. The staff is sensitive to the needs of the residents and are quick to accept changes in mood, behavior and attitudes. We love the homey feeling of Live to Assist and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a home for their aging family member.

When my 88 year old sister (who has rheumatoid arthritis ) could no longer stay in her own home, we discovered Seneca House. She has lived there for 8 months and we are so pleased with the facilities, the staff, and her quality of care. I am so grateful to know that there are caring people looking out for her day and night...such peace of mind for her and for me! It is clear that patient care is the top priority for the owners and the house managers. - 1/13/2020 

Seneca House is such an amazing family run assisted living. Greg and his staff are so caring and family oriented. I love the setup of the home with such great views and amenities such as a pool. I will be moving in there when I'm a little older. - 9/16/2020 

This was the perfect place for our mother to be at home during the last months of her earthly life. The owners, Todd and Cheri were over the top in doing whatever they could to make things comfortable and workable for Mom's unique situation and the care-takers and staff were the same. The facility is so comfortable and homey that Mom and all of us as family felt very comfortable there. The small number of residents meant better individualized care and it gives Terry Lake Assisted Living a family environment rather than an institutional feel. They were able to give a higher level of care than most facilities in this category which persuaded doctors to allow Mom to be at Terry Lake rather than a large skilled-nursing facility as they first recommended. That meant a lower cost, more comfortable and loving place for Mom to live. We had a number of extended family who are medical professionals that visited and were extremely impressed with the care and the facility as well. It was a win-win for us all the way around. - 2/06/2020 

My Mother moved from her home where she was living by herself and into Seneca House May 2019 .It was a very difficult transition for my Mother moving from her home. The folks at Seneca House bent over backwards helping her to adjust. They would also spend time with us on the phone or in person brainstorming new ideas to help her adjust. The staff at Seneca House treat their clients as if they are family. My Mother has said numerous times the staff will pass by her,stop and chat or just pat her shoulder. If my Mother suddenly starts craving a certain food, the staff incorporate it into her meals. If there is a concern the staff calls us immediately to relay what is going on. My Mother loves her group of "friends" and loves to share what they are up to each day. We visited several assisted living places in Fort Collins before deciding on Seneca House. It has a feel of a home and not some large facility she would get lost in plus the ratio of staff to clients can not be found anywhere else! - 3/10/2020 

I recently worked here. I was hired to do one on one care for a client. The home is beautiful and clean. The caregivers are amazing so kind to visitors and the clients that live there. The atmosphere is probably the best that I have ever seen. I do one on one care in a lot of facility's, hospitals, and assisted living homes. Beautiful job Terry Lake!!! - 9/13/2020

Monarch Greens is a fantastic choice for assisted living homes- the staff takes great care of residents, and the owners take great care of the staff! Care is extremely personalized, and meals are freshly cooked, to produce the best home away from home. Would put my own parents here and would recommend to all. - 3/06/2020 

The staff at Turnberry Place have been awesome. They have took care of my father for the past 2 years in a honest, caring and familial way. They have always been open to communicating with me through the good and the bad times. I view the residents and staff at Turnberry as extended family and couldn't be happier with our choice to have my dad move there. - 11/05/2020 

Seneca House sounds like a great place. I just spoke to Greg at Seneca House on behalf of my mother-in-law, who is in need of an increased level of care. I would take her over there today if I could. Unfortunately, Greg and I determined that this particular residence, as fantastic as it sounds, is not a good match for Mom. I really appreciated the honest assessment and the time Greg spent on the phone with me. He obviously works very hard to ensure the best care setting for everyone. - 12/04/2019
