Rio Grande

Seniors’ quality of life is built into every detail of The Rio Grande’s design for an independent lifestyle. The design goal was to enhance the quality of life for seniors by creating an environment that stimulates both mind and body.

The design and layout of the building is intended to encourage seniors to venture out of their rooms and enjoy the company of others. An unparalleled range of high quality amenities encourages whole mind and body health. Unique to comparable facilities, each unit features a private deck or patio and a kitchenette with a full size refrigerator. The stunning views of the mountains and city lights are captured by the design and layout of the building with many of the units and activity areas positioned to maximize the views. Many of our outdoor recreation areas were placed adjacent to the park to take full advantage of the open space views while encouraging exercise. Additional shared covered patios and seating areas allow seniors to enjoy the climate and views in comfort. To preserve the view of adjacent neighbors, we increased the setbacks from homes and added one-story retirement cottages as a buffer.
