Horrible facility

This facility never has adequate staff & management “[name removed]” brushes concerns off as if they don’t matter. I fear for my family member life and will soon be removing her from The Wellington at Arapaho when I find a safer place. Some days she doesn’t get her medicine. The care staff has a high turnover rate. The place looks old and outdated and smells even worse. Do NOT put your family member here. I can’t even publish this with my real name out of fear for my family member being treated differently.

sub-par food and lack of services

Residents routinely complain about the food. It is not cooked well, and it is often too tough for them to eat. Many times, there are not enough servers, and the wait time for meals is excessive. Many weeks there is no housekeeping service because they cannot retain staff. Hot water is not reliable and maintenance requests are not addressed in a timely manner.

Amazing

My mom had an absolutely amazing experience at The Wellington of Arapaho. From the moment she arrived, she was welcomed with warmth and kindness, making her feel like part of a community rather than just a resident. The staff was incredibly attentive, always going above and beyond to meet her needs, whether it was offering a helping hand or providing personalized care. The amenities were outstanding, with beautiful, spacious living areas, and the on-site activities were both engaging and fun, helping her build meaningful connections with fellow residents. What stood out most was the genuine sense of compassion and respect she felt every day, which made her time at The Wellington truly special. It wasn’t just a place to live—it was a place where she felt valued, cared for, and truly at home.

My mom has been very happy since she moved in. She’s lived here for 2 years and has nothing but great things to say about the activities and housekeeping. Every time we visit, the staff members seem genuine and upbeat. I’m glad we chose The Wellington for my mom.

My Uncle lives here and enjoys it. He likes being able to read the newspaper in the library and play poker. The community is the perfect size for him to go to meals and activities. Staff is polite and cares about him.

Amazing place to live

I was looking for a place for my dad to live out the rest of his years. I needed a place where he would be comfortable and well taken care of. And after my tour of the Wellington, I must say that I feel that this would be a perfect fit for him. The staff was very helpful and informative, and the facility was very nice and clean

Amazing food

The new chef has been making a lot of home cooked meals and my brother has been raving about how good the meals have been. Because the meals have been so good lately my brother has been going to the dining room more lately and socializing with friends.

Love the family atmosphere

My mom has been here about 3 years and has enjoyed it. The food has improved with the new culinary director and she has been eating in the dining room more often. I do not have to worry about her, residents and employees are always looking out for her knowing I live further away.

Well organized facility.

This is a well ran facility that made my loved one’s experience very comfortable. The staff is exceptional and informative. Our tour highlighted all of the things the Wellington had to offer. We were made to feel like we were a priority and did not feel rushed or pressured into making a decision we were not ready to make. We really appreciated that.

Great Place for Our Friend

My friend has been in The Wellington for almost a year. At the beginning, things were pretty disorganized and was difficult to get answers. A new director was hired and there has been tremendous improvements in all areas of care. The food service is much better and the staff is much more involved with the residents. It is a nice relaxing atmosphere for everyone.
