Bonaventure of Thornton

My mom moved in April 2019 to independent living. All the employees are so nice. They treat my mom like she is part of their family. Each and every employee from the director to the cleaning staff make my mom feel safe and cared for.

UPDATE: Never transition your parent from independent to the assisted living at Bonaventure with out spending a day on the assisted side in the hall on 1st, 2nd or 3rd floor. Also check if there caretakers and Q-maps are qualified or trained to do the job there asked. I moved my mom to the 2nd floor assisted living because she had a stroke and doctors said she would do better in familiar surroundings. I had heard the care was not good and understaffed but still made the decision to move her there. I was assured by Diego that she would have the best of care. The first week she was there went okay they had full staff and checked on my mom every 2 hours as promised. After that they lost lots of staff and did not hire any just pulled staff from memory care or had one again one employee for over 60 residents and would pull the maintenance manager to help transport residents to the kitchen. When my mom pushed her help button the caretaker could not get to her for 15-20 minutes. Again PLEASE do your research before moving your loved one there. I almost lost my mom twice due them being understaffed and not qualified help. I had a ring doorbell in her room so I was able to monitor if she got care or not.

I never write reviews, but felt I needed to share our experience with Bonaventure of Thornton. My sister and I were apprehensive to move our dad during the COVID pandemic, but honestly we could not have picked a better place. From day one the staff has been awesome and continues to show how much they truly care about our dad. This experience has given myself, my sister and our dad a sense of peace and confidence knowing we chose the right place. Dad has been there for a few months now and he continues to enjoy everyday. Thank you. Steve

My Mom moved into a beautiful two bedroom apartment in April 2019. She loves her apartment and the staff and has made a few friends. She's excited about the book club and enjoys the occasional live music. She also enjoyed the Sunday bus excursions until they were discontinued. Most everything has been satisfactory with the exception of the food. I've dined with her several times and both of us have been disappointed in the variety and quality of the food. Most seniors need and enjoy fresh, flavorful, nutritious and appetizing food with good presentation. I was impressed to see your advertisement for a Dining Services Manager with a goal to serve food comparable to a 5-star restaurant! Hope that happens soon along with hiring a new Activities Director! What is the time frame for filling these positions?
