Top 4 Reasons Why You Should Choose Assisted Living in Longmont, CO

Did you know that Longmont, Colorado was recently ranked #8 out of 59 Colorado cities competing for the best city for seniors? Longmont achieves this rank based on its safety, affordability, and abundance of things to keep seniors busy. With a population of approximately 90,000, choosing assisted living in Longmont offers a variety of benefits. The city’s close-knit community with a small-town feel plus the community-wide emphasis on healthy living inspires engagement and happiness for those in their later years. ​

1. Longmont is the Epitome of a Walkable City

Bross Street Assisted Living is located just 4 blocks from the Main Street Corridor in Downtown Longmont, which spans a grid between 1st Avenue and Longs Peak Avenue. This corridor has been designed specifically for pedestrians and features wide, tree-lined streets, speckled with gardens and benches to take in the view.

By selecting assisted living in Longmont, you will benefit immensely from its walkable layout. You will be able to feel the heritage as you walk through dozens of buildings that date back to the early 1900s. These diverse structures now house more than 300 businesses and organizations including restaurants, breweries, retail shops, art galleries, theaters, music venues, event spaces, and entertainment options. The phrase “I’m bored” will easily evaporate from your vocabulary!

2. Longmont Has Tons of Activities for Seniors

One of the benefits of assisted living in Longmont (specifically at a facility like Bross Street) is being so close to the city center. Because of our proximity to this hub of activity, we are able to offer an abundance of community opportunities for our residents to participate in.

Our residents at Bross Street enjoy these highlights:
  • The SilverSneakers® Fitness Program is Longmont's program to help senior citizens stay active. We encourage our residents to sign up and get access to various group fitness classes located around Longmont.
  • The 2nd Friday program includes gallery openings, promotions, and activities that take place throughout the Downtown District, just blocks from Bross Street.
  • The Senior Services Center, located at 910 Longs Peak Ave (at the base of the Creative Arts District) offers more than 200 classes every quarter. With classes ranging from watercolor painting, to partner dance lessons, to foreign language practice, there is something for everyone!
The Interactive Map of Creative Venues allows you to plan your adventure from a computer or smartphone. It gives information and links for all the creative venues lining the streets of the Longmont Creative Arts District. This makes it easy to find out specific classes, products, or services offered, the opening hours, and the exact location of each place. ​

3. Longmont’s Proximity to Downtown Denver

Located approximately 45 minutes from downtown Denver, Colorado, you can easily get your “Big City” fix anytime you want! You can just hop on 1-25 South for a quick 35 miles and you’re right in downtown Denver. If you want to take public transportation, there are a variety of options to Denver and DIA as well, including busses, trains, and shuttles. The Green Ride even provides a senior discount!
​

Perhaps you have relatives flying in from other states? The trip they will make from the Denver International Airport to Longmont is just 42 miles via I-25S and E470S. If you want to meet them in Downtown Denver for a day at the Art Museum or a picnic by the Platte River, it is an easy day trip for you both.

4. Longmont Boasts 247 Days of Sunshine Per Year

Longmont, Colorado boasts an average of 247 days of sunshine each year - more than Miami beach or San Diego! Basking in the sunlight (with proper precautions of course) can offer a variety of health benefits. The most talked about one is the increased release of serotonin, a major mood boosting hormone in your brain. In addition to treating depression, sunlight treatment can also fight off anxiety. As you are making this significant change in your life, by deciding on assisted living in Longmont, you have the added benefit of the sunshine to help stabilize your mood through this transition.
​

Exposure to sunshine can benefit your health as you age in other ways as well. Increased intake of Vitamin D promotes bone health, something very important to keep up with as we age. Consistent, short amounts of sun exposure on a regular schedule can even prevent certain types of cancer, treat rheumatoid arthritis, and help heal certain types of skin conditions.

I love that you talked about how the area will be walkable when it comes to choosing an assisted living place in Longmont. I hope there is a place like that here in Fauquier County, Virginia, too. It's to ensure that the environment will be nice for my grandmother, since she loves the outdoors ever since she was younger.
