Open to Visitors with Precautions
With few limitations, visitation is now allowed for all residents at all times, while continuing to follow all Core Principles of COVID-19 infection prevention (CMS QSO-20-39-NH REVISED). Outdoor visitation is still preferred where possible, even in lower risk community conditions and even when residents and visitors are fully vaccinated* against COVID-19, because it generally poses the lowest risk of transmission due to space and air flow. Virtual visits using technology (e.g., iPad) are also available to all residents.read more

Proudly serving our local community since 1976, Cheyenne Place Independent Senior Living Community is nestled at the base of beautiful Cheyenne Mountain with a picturesque view of Pikes Peak. Independent Living is the preferred lifestyle for seniors who value their independence but would benefit from additional support to maintain it. Our communities are designed with the needs and preferences of the independent senior in mind; offering a variety of living options to fit the unique social and financial needs of our residents, from studios and roomy two-bedroom apartments to cottages and villas. These options motivate residents to maintain their independence and be the decision makers to engage in meaningful activities of their choosing.
Maintenance free living means our residents can focus on enjoying a wide array of social, educational and spiritual activities and entertainment. Our community offers a supportive, caring, experienced staff, a variety of delectable home cooked meals along with housekeeping and maintenance for the ultimate retirement experience. As part of our holistic approach to maximize quality of life, we are a pet friendly community.
Amenities include a resident library, beauty salon and a therapy gym with occupational, physical and speech therapy services, should the need arise. Residents also enjoy free transportation to scheduled medical and dental appointments as well as field trips to local businesses and events. We are also pleased to offer furnished accommodations for shorter stays for those that wish to try out our maintenance free lifestyle. A home here means exciting activities and entertainment all in the comfort of our community. You deserve to retire in style! We look forward to touring you in person or virtually to share the staycation awaits you! Follow us on Facebook for Resident Life experiences and find us on Google.
