In case you haven't heard, Colorado Springs has recently been named one of the top locations for retirement. There's lots of good reasons. This article will highlight a few. We'll also give you a run down on the options this city provides for senior living.

There is a good reason that America the Beautiful was written during a trip to our area: It's absolutely gorgeous! For one, the sky is the most beautiful sapphire blue you've ever seen. Fortunately, we average 247 days per year where can see these blue skies. And, you can also see Pike's Peak from almost anywhere in town. Within minutes, Colorado Springs residents can leave the city and be right in some of the most beautiful mountains in the world.

If you have a hankering for a big city, Denver is only a short drive away. But, you might be surprised to learn that Colorado Springs has all the things you want from a bigger city. It has all the arts, entertainment, shopping and recreation you could ask for, but with the charm of a smaller town.

Although we have four full seasons, our winters are regarded as mild by most standards. We get our share of snow, but it rarely stays around for more than a few days. It's usually followed by another stretch of blue skies and temperatures that will melt it all away. This mild weather allows for outdoor activities all year long.

We also have all the standard options for senior retirement facilities. We have a great assortment of independent living communities, assisted living facilities, and of course nursing homes or skilled nursing facilities.

If you're still active and mobile and not in need of assistance, you may be in the market for an independent living facility. The centers are ideal for the senior that is on the go and really only desires this for the community and camaraderie.

Assisted living facilities are for those seniors that require a step up in their care. They offer some of the same amenities as do independent living facilities, but also have round the clock caregivers to help with the needs of their residences. These facilities are for those that need assistance with their activities of daily living. Although these facilities don't provide medical care, they can help you coordinate your medical needs.

We also have an array of skilled nursing facilities, also known as nursing homes. These centers have registered nurses on staff 24 hours per day to help their residents with their rehab or other medical needs. These are a big step up from an assisted living facility.

Colorado Springs is a great place to retire. And, if your in the market for an assisted living center, I'd like to suggest Constant Care of Colorado springs. It's a great facility with a wonderful staff and similar folks ready to add to their family.
