Paula Enrietto, PhD
Executive Director, Balfour Independent Living

You’ve had a magnificent life. Are you ready for more?

It’s been my privilege to work at Balfour for six years. I say privilege because my role as executive director has allowed me to help create a whole new generation of retirement living. It’s not like anything you’ve seen before. Our buildings were inspired by the famous lodges in our National Parks. They’re warm and inviting places with lots of stone and big timbers that you’ll be proud to bring your friends and family. In no time at all, it will feel like home.

Here you’ll find ample opportunity to live a healthy, engaged and fulfilling life. Our Life Enrichment department offers over 300 different programs every month. On a typical day, there’s Tai Chi, Healthy Living class, bridge, a concert with musicians from the University of Colorado School of Music or lectures on topics ranging from natural history to astronomy.

Living a good life also means enjoying good food. Our Culinary program has earned the kind of reviews usually reserved for some of Colorado’s finest restaurants. There are over 20 options available at lunch and dinner, plus daily specials prepared by our Executive Chef. Add a complimentary continental breakfast, High Tea every week and a Happy Hour every day, and you will never be without outstanding culinary experiences.

But if there’s one thing that makes us stand above the rest, it’s our incredible staff. They are committed to making your life here the best that it can be, from the 24 hour a day concierge service to housekeeping and the servers in our dining rooms.

It is our mission to create a gracious home with unforgettable opportunities for enjoyment and growth, and the secure feeling of knowing you have priority in Balfour’s continuum of care. My family has personally experienced this continuum and I can honestly say they received the very highest quality of care available.

At Balfour, seniority has is privileges. And I’d like to be the first to introduce you to them.
