Overview

How does a retirement with fewer chores and more adventures sound? It’s maintenance-free living at its best, and you’ve earned it! We’ll take care of the chores while you focus on what you want to do. Here at Brookdale Meridian Lakewood, a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in Lakewood, Colorado, we offer independent living and skilled nursing. If you need skilled nursing care while recovering from surgery, no problem. Want to let someone else do the cooking and dishes? Now, you can.  

By definition, a CCRC, or continuing care retirement community, is a senior living community that provides multiple levels of care at one campus. So what does that mean for you?  That means you’ll have the care you need if you or your spouse need more care later with independent living and skilled nursing right here. And we’re a rental CCRC. That means you’ll pay a monthly rental fee based on the level of care and services you need—with no buy-in fee.

Start your morning with a stroll on our walking paths through a 10-acre campus with scenic views. Skip the lines at the big movie complexes and catch your next matinee on campus at our on-site theater. And don’t forget to book your next hair appointment at our on-site salon.

Brookdale Meridian Lakewood Reviews

    I picked Brookdale Meridian Lakewood after touring eight facilities. It was the cleanest, most affordable, and had the best care staff to patient ratio. I was initially impressed with how kind the staff was during the visit. My sister lived her final weeks at Brookdale. The care staff was responsive and helpful and they treated my sister with dignity and respect while she was in hospice care. My sister's pain was well managed and she was as comfortable as possible until the end. I can't sing their praises enough and I never felt I made a poor decision in choosing Brookdale.

    My experience with Brookdale Lakewood has been nothing short of amazing. From the moment we first walked in, the atmosphere felt clean, warm, and inviting—just like home. The facility offers so many activities for the residents, fostering a wonderful sense of community and connection. The staff is truly exceptional. They are gracious, caring, and go above and beyond to ensure every resident feels safe and cared for. They took such good care of my dad, not only looking after his physical needs but also making sure he felt valued and respected. What really stood out was how personal their care was—they took the time to get to know him as an individual. He knew the staff by name, and they knew him, which gave him a deep sense of comfort and belonging. Knowing he was in such a supportive and compassionate environment gave our family peace of mind. I can't recommend Brookdale Meridian Lakewood highly enough for anyone seeking a place where their loved one will be safe, honored, and genuinely cared for.

    I've been wanting to write this review for years. In the winter of 2019- 2020, my loved one was in hospice at this Brookdale. The rooms were large and clean. The staff and medical team was kind, helpful, and professional. They took very good care of my loved one. Despite the unfortunate circumstances, it was one of the better medical experiences I have had in many. many years. I will always be grateful to the staff and medical providers there.

    This place has been the most wonderful gift to our family, knowing our mother is happy & cared for on so many levels. The people who work here are compassionate and perceptive, from the dining room staff to the front desk, the activities folks to the maintenance staff, all the way up to the director; we have had incredible experiences interacting with everyone. They provide a welcoming helpful warm atmosphere for residents. They really care about the people who live there and strive to make it a place that is not only safe, but it's also a place that feels like home. EXCELLENT place to live and blessed to have found it!
