Choosing where to spend your retirement is a big decision, and knowing what to ask can help you find a place that fits your lifestyle, budget, and future needs.
From levels of care and pricing to residences and activities, learn the most important questions to ask senior living communities, and how San Marino Retirement Community in Westminster, CO, compares.
Lifestyle & Care Options
- Do you offer independent living?
- What levels of care are available?
- If my needs change, can I transition between levels of care?
San Marino offers Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care. Independent Living residents enjoy convenient amenities, and have the option to transition to our various levels of care in the future if needed. Seniors can also join our community as Assisted Living or Memory Care residents.
Our full continuum of care provides residents with the peace of mind of knowing that, should their needs evolve, care will always be available to meet them where they are.
Pricing Structure
- What pricing model does your community use?
- What is included in my monthly rent?
- What is the difference between à la carte and all-inclusive pricing?
San Marino Retirement Community uses a flexible rental model with no substantial entrance fees. Monthly rent includes our resort-style amenities, utilities, and housekeeping and laundry services, with additional care services added only if and when they are needed. Support is offered through a flexible à la carte model, allowing you to track your expenses and budget for care. Unlike all-inclusive pricing, which bundles care services into one fixed monthly fee, à la carte lets you pay only for the support you actually use.
Residences
- What types of residences are available? Studios? Apartments? Homes?
- Do residences come with parking? What about storage?
- Who takes care of home maintenance?
Residents at San Marino Retirement Community can choose from apartments, villas, or patio homes:
- The Estates, one- and two-bedroom apartments with balconies.
- The Villas, offered in four unique layouts, including studio, one-, and two-bedroom options.
- Patio Homes, located in a serene courtyard, all with two bedrooms, garages, and ample yard space.
Home upkeep is easy at San Marino, because we handle it for you. With apartment maintenance and bills included, you can enjoy a carefree lifestyle where everything you need is right outside your front door.
Activities and Outings

- What is there to do in the surrounding area?
- Are there scheduled transportation services?

Community Experiences
- Can I sample a meal at the community?
- Can I speak with current residents about their experience?
- What is the staff-to-resident ratio? What qualifications does staff have?
- What is the community’s policy on visitors and overnight stays?
- What is the move-in process like?
There are many questions that are best answered in person, so visiting each community you’re considering is important. See for yourself how residents enjoy their time, sample the cuisine, and get a feel for the staff and atmosphere. Sharing a meal in the dining room or chatting with current residents can reveal more than any brochure, while asking the important questions will help you feel confident in your decision. Bring a list of questions to ask when visiting retirement communities, and take notes so you can compare your options afterward.
