My mother went to Golden West for a while and even though it was a nice area, the meals were not served together, so it was less friendly. She was there for a couple of years. It has bigger apartments, but it's HUD subsidized, so it's less expensive. It's just is lacking in the meals department. The apartments are larger and they're nice, but most buildings were built in the '50s. Even though it's been kept up very well, the elevators were slow and things like that. It's beautiful, and you can be seven floors up and have an amazing view and it's inexpensive because it's HUD subsidized. Those would be good things if you were younger. She liked it a lot.

Golden West was very nice. They didn't have three meals a day, but they had a grill that you could pay to eat any meal. The rooms were smaller and darker. They didn't have as many activities either. Plus, there were more limits when you move in there. You had to be low-income to get in, and you had to prove your income. I wasn't that impressed with it.

The studio room that I saw at Golden West Senior Residence was clean, a pretty good size, and had a beautiful view. The kitchen was tiny, but that was OK. I saw a big sandwich board with the activities of the day, and it was always pretty filled up. The dining area was large and available most of the day. The food was OK, but it was not awesome. They have a library, a garden, a rooftop terrace, and lots of nice spaces.

The facility is great but there is very inadequate parking for handicap residents.If you do not bring a car, you will be alright. If you do bring a car, you may have days when there is no space to park in.

I moved in to Golden West last September. It was in the right place because my daughter is in Denver, and it was less expensive than a lot of others. It seemed friendly, so I’m happy. I am in a large studio unit, and I love it. The staff is terrific. I play bridge.

I visited my brother in Golden West, and it went great. The units are in excellent shape, the grounds are in good shape, and my brother seems really happy there. It is an excellent place, and the staff is excellent also. He has no complaints there whatsoever. He has a studio apartment. They have volunteers to do the grocery shopping if they needed it.
