About Us

Rosemark at Mayfair Park Senior Living Management

At Ascent Senior Living Communities, we have deep roots in Colorado, and operating first-class senior living communities in Colorado is our sole focus. We are more than Colorado-based. We are 100% Colorado-present. Every community we develop and manage is in the state of Colorado. Our founders’ 40+ years of combined professional backgrounds provide the backbone of our operation. You’ll often find us walking through our communities, working with our teams and interacting with residents. We want our residents to feel at home where they live.

We hold ourselves to a higher calling.

We are invested in creating first-class senior living for residents and their families, and in hiring and retaining the best associates in the business—and we believe we do it all exceptionally well.

We also invite families to be part of each community, finding innovative ways to link the generations whether through sharing a meal, participating in holiday traditions, celebrating birthdays or anniversaries, or simply enjoying time together as a family.

Management

We are here with you.

We at Ascent Living Communities operate five senior living communities in Colorado. We provide only the best in independent living, assisted living and memory care, catering to your needs and desires. Our communities have varying amenities, including life enrichment activities, fitness opportunities, fine dining and daily entertainment, as well as proximity to shopping, restaurants, movies, and more.

Should you require more help with some of your daily activities, we can be that resource for you. In our assisted living, you will still enjoy considerable independence, but you can be confident that we can help you with anything you need. In addition, we also provide memory care services. You or a loved one may be suffering from memory loss, or be at a particular stage of memory impairment. Our caring communities provide around-the-clock care, and we handle everything that needs to be done, regardless of the stage of memory loss.


Safety of Residents and Families

With Colorado-based management, Rosemark at Mayfair Park Assisted Living and Memory Care can provide greater oversight over safety standards within our senior care community. We want everyone—our residents, their families, our prospective residents and visitors from outside the community—to feel safe and at ease. We will continuously monitor and upgrade our safety guidelines for the protection of each person’s wellbeing.

Just a few aspects of our enhanced safety regimen:

Frequent cleaning of high-touch surfaces with state-of-the-art cleaning products

24-hour care staff available for extensive oversight of residents

Hand sanitizers located throughout the community

State-of-the-art emergency response system in all residences and key common areas

24-hour emergency response system and safety protocols
