Rocky Mountain Assisted Living at Chestnut Hill in Highlands Ranch, CO

5.0
We moved our father in here back in 2008 and he was here for 6 years. They took great care of him and the staff including management were very accommodating. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a caring clean home.

We chose Highline Place and seemed very caring and qualified to care for my father-in-law after a difficult experience with another facility. Very kind and compassionate staff!

My husband with dementia spent his last month of life at this facility. My husband had private care as well as the facilities staff. There weren't enough staff to service these people. The staff were wonderful and accommodating.
