Seems good fit
This is an independent facility, they have no medical staff. I describe it as an apartment for seniors either amenities.
[name removed] was extremely helpful in considering this facility. Had a great tour, offered lots of room options. They have a large variety of room sizes/styles. Have studio, 1 & 2 bedroom rooms & very few are like others due to the shape of the building. Even the balconies sizes vary.
Mom has been there a month & thus far seems that this facility offers what Mom was looking for.

Outstanding Staff, Residents and Community.
Holiday Highland Trail is a great place. My parents did ok there. I'm sad to say my parents passed away within 30 days of each other over a month ago. It's a great community and wonderful staff and residents. We would 100% recommend this community to other families.

Clean facilities, terrible experience. Save your money!
My parents moved a couple of months ago. That place is a total mess. Management was kind of awful to my parents. The food was horrible and never served what they said they were going to.

Best experience at Highland Trail
The best part of Highland Trail is the staff!! They should be commended for their patience and friendly service every day! They are always willing to provide a helping hand or an ear to listen. They are constantly coming up with new and exciting new activities and events. [name removed] and her team are the best in Broomfield!

Great place overall for my parents
It's overall a great place to be. The food, however, is not reliable in quality or what they post, which is extremely frustrating. Overall, I would recommend to other families.

Think twice
My mom really likes the residents here, but overall it hasn't been a good experience. We will probably be moving her soon. Yes the facility has a lovely atmosphere and is in a nice neighborhood, but there are issues that are concerning. They are so short staffed. The staff they do have is sharing duties (housekeeping, dining, etc) just to keep things going. They never answer the phone in the kitchen for take out/delivery orders. That's a huge issue for us right now, mom is quarantined and cannot leave her room. We've tried to call and order food several times and get no answer. I finally called the main facility phone number and asked why no one has checked on her or brought her food. Their response was that they can't go into her apartment while she's quarantined. I understand that, but she still has to eat and should be checked on, why aren't they at least leaving food outside of her door for her? There's no kitchen in the resident units, so it's not like she could make her own. Not to mention, the food is horrendous. So many of the other residents have said that also. When my sister brought her back from the ER, she was told that they were in the middle of dining and couldn't clear an elevator for her. She's sick, but had to wait in the car until dining was complete and all residents had left the dining area before she could get to her room. I would not recommend them to family and friends.

My review of Highland Trail
This community was just really expensive for my loved one and on top of that the food was horrible. We heard a lot of complaints about the food in this community from others also. Just because people are old does not mean that they do not want good food and will just eat whatever.

friendly, accommodating and wonderful so far
everyone at Highland seems to be very friendly and helpful. they've allowed my dog to move in with me; they offer self sufficient accommodations for my dog to go outside in a safe environment without a leash. I do think it's expensive, but the benefits and amenities offered are tremendous. I have not found anything wrong with this community so far and have already shared my experience with others. I'm excited to be moving in soon!

I encourage others to come join us at Highland Trail. The friendliness and love that is given and felt here stand out to me. There are options to choose from for meals.
Some of the activities available include: exercising, outside entertainment, bridge, chess, and more to keep us engaged.

Our Tour Experience
We thought Highland Trail was very nice. The people were super nice. It just wasn’t our type of environment. The décor just seemed more traditional/formal. And it was pretty pricey. But if that's your type of place - the location was nice, the facility was clean, the people were friendly. It seemed like a good place.

A very nice facility, with day to day conveniences
Highland Trial has had a decently high number of turnovers with the staff which is why that rating for a 4 out of 5, we just have not met with the new staff members and do not know they as well. Our loved one is also not the big into socializing, but they do offer activities. What we have seen of the activities they seem very appropriate, well planned and very consistent. Highland Trail is a very beautiful facility, and in a great part of town which is a huge plus. Within 3-4 miles there is shopping, and medical facilities.

Well maintained facility
We chose Highland Trail because it was extremely clean, the people were nice, and the facility itself is very well maintained. The apartment sizes here are good. The meals that they serve are high in starch so they could use improvement there. Overall it is a well run facility and I would definitely recommend them.

Best Decision I've Made in a While
I'd tell people to come on in. You'll enjoy it. They have plenty to do, and you can be as active or inactive as you want to be. Right now we keep to ourselves a bit. We like to read and watch TV, but we also enjoy visiting with the neighbors. It's not a perfect place, but almost. This is the best managed facility we've lived in. The staff are very helpful. Housekeeping comes by once a week if we need anything done, but right now we take care of everything the way we want to. They give us three meals a day, and it's pretty darn good. I like the quantity and the variety. They have alternates if you don't like some of the options. I think today we had five different things we could choose from. So I'd say they do a fine job. To start with when we moved in, I didn't think it would be enough food. But I've come to find it really is enough. And I'm a complainer, so if anything was wrong, I would be complaining. Compared to where we've came from, Highland Trail is outstanding. We got everything we wanted and needed, and we feel it's fairly priced.
