What families are saying

We’ve gathered and summarized real family reviews from across the internet for you. Contact a Seniorly representative for details.
Reviews of Balfour Longmont are mixed but lean positive, with many residents and families praising the attractive, clean, upscale environment, spacious common areas, amenities, activities, dining, and integration of independent living, assisted living, and memory care. Several reviewers describe the community as vibrant, well managed, and welcoming, with excellent food, music, social opportunities, exercise facilities, a pool, library, theater, and pet-friendly features. Many families express deep gratitude for staff members who provided compassionate, respectful, and personalized care, especially during difficult transitions, illness, hospice, and bereavement. Leadership is frequently credited with creating a culture of caring, and specific employees are praised for patience, kindness, responsiveness, and helping new residents adjust. The facility is often described as expensive, with some reviewers considering the price reasonable and others citing high rent, deposits, or inadequate value. Tours generally impressed visitors, although some found apartments small and felt the community emphasized luxury more than care. A significant minority report serious concerns, particularly in memory care: delayed responses to call buttons and phone messages, understaffing, poor communication, inadequate attention to hygiene and medical needs, residents entering rooms, and medication errors. One detailed account alleges severe neglect, including untreated pressure sores, prolonged exposure to urine and feces, inappropriate placement in memory care, and an unrecognized narcotic prescription. Other negative reviews characterize management as unprofessional, promise-keeping as poor, and the environment as noisy or unfriendly. Overall, Balfour is widely admired for its facilities, activities, food, and many caring employees, but reviews suggest that staffing, communication, clinical oversight, and consistency of care—especially in memory care—can vary substantially.
