The Retreat at Sunny Vista in Colorado Springs is excited and honored to be recognized by the Colorado Springs Gazette with the Gold award for best retirement community in it's annual Best of the Springs review. 

The Best of the Springs highlights the best entrepreneurs, small business owners and community service providers in Colorado Springs. 

The Best of the Springs awards are broken down into six categories: arts and entertainment, city life and recreation, family and health, food and drink, services and professionals, and shopping. 

According to Rich Vincent of the Gazette, the paper encourages wide participation in the voting process with over 15,000 voters offering their local wisdom.

Comments about the retreat included: "Beautiful Community, compassionate and caring staff," and "a great atmosphere with a great team."

We are honored to have so many supporters of our community and to be included in the Best of Colorado Springs.

COVID-19 has led to a lot of restrictions for our residents including visitations and group activities. At the Retreat we have continued to get creative and find ways to keep our residents active, healthy and engaged. Our Life Enrichment Director, Pamela Cooper, was interviewed by KKTV recently to share the many great things still happening in our assisted living and memory support community.

​We were saddened to hear that over 100 residents will be forced to relocate now that Union Printers Home in Colorado Springs is being shut down.  Choosing the right senior living community can be difficult. We have put together a list of 21 questions to evaluate a senior living community. It might aid the seniors or their families in their search.

​We would also like to extend an invitation to those residents that are being displaced from their homes and their families to consider The Retreat at Sunny Vista.  We offer exceptional living options.

A senior resident of The Retreat at Sunny Vista was recently recognized in The Gazette. The article highlights his work with the FBI, and life in Mississippi battling the KKK.  He traveled to Mississippi in 1964 during the height of the struggle for equality in the south. As an FBI agent, he was sent to impose justice. His story also includes hearing Martin Luther King Jr. preach love and preaceful protest in front of the courthouse in Philadelphia, Mississippi.
