Life is Good!

My husband and I moved into our apartment a year and a half ago and say each day we made the right decision. Even at 81 and 85, we are still physically and mentally active,. There’s more time and freedom to do what we want to do - cycle, hike, paint, read with lots of discussions - and not have to cook, clean, or worry about yard and house upkeep. The staff on all levels is friendly, capable, compassionate, and helpful. Ciel’s South Boulder location couldn’t be better. A full shopping center is across the street a…

Mom loves it at Ciel of Boulder.

My mom has lived at Ciel for the past year and she loves it there. The food is great and the friends she's made has brought so much joy to her life. And the courtyard out back is breathtaking with amazing views of the Flatirons.

A good fit for my dad

I would give it five across-the-board. My dad would ding them on food because he likes regular meat and potatoes, dishes, and they have a broader variety. My dad does not cook so I am very grateful for the two meals a day. It is a very nice community. Everyone has been very friendly and welcoming to my dad. Their activities and exercise program programs look great, but he has not participated yet.

Good facility, communication and facility

I've been here for nearly two years. It now feels like home. The dining is very good and the serving staff are very friendly. The activities are comprehensive and the community of seniors is interesting and supportive.

Great experience!

I’m happy to be coming back to this website to leave a review, because I spent quite a bit of time researching Boulder area senior living centers on this site when I was moving my mother from out of state last year. After visiting several options in Boulder we settled on Brookdale Meridian in South Boulder. We could not be happier! Mom has made great friends, enjoys the food, feel supported by the staff and has thoroughly enjoyed herself since moving in. It is a comfortable place with an upbeat social environment a…

Highly Recommended

Based on the experience I have had so far with Brookdale Meridian Boulder, I would recommend this community to others! IT is in a great location and overall a great community. However when it comes to the meals that are prepared, that could be improved.
