The part that surprises people

There is no entrance fee

Continuing-care retirement communities across the Denver metro typically ask for an entrance fee — often a six-figure sum — before you move in. Some refund part of it later. Some do not.

Morningside has none of that. There is no buy-in, no community fee, no endowment and no membership. You sign a lease, the way you would for any apartment.

Plus your first month’s rent. That is the complete cost of moving in.

No care costs, because there is no care. Morningside is independent living. There are no service packages, no levels of care and no fees that rise as your needs change. What that means.

Questions about the numbers?

The leasing office will walk you through the full lease, the deposit and anything else before you commit to anything.
