Vi at Highlands Ranch

Vi at Highlands Ranch is an upscale Type A continuing care retirement community located on 25 acres of sprawling hillside. Residents can enjoy more than 70 miles of trails in the backcountry, parks and bike trails, along with easy access to downtown Denver’s cultural and sporting attractions.

Recently recognized by CNN Money as one of “America’s Best Places to Live,” the city of Highlands Ranch is comprised of a 22,000-acre, master-planned community that was founded in 1981.

With a wide variety of distinctive amenities, fine dining, lifestyle activities, and a continuum of care, Vi at Highlands Ranch is committed to providing quality environments, services and programs to enrich the lives of older adults.

At Vi at Highlands Ranch your entrance fee and monthly fee include the cost of your home, chosen from one of our 30 one bedroom, one bedroom plus den, two bedroom, two bedroom plus den, or freestanding villa floor plans– many with extraordinary mountain views. And when you move into Vi as an Independent Living resident, care is a part of your residency agreement. Your monthly fees do not increase as a result of moving to our care center for Assisted Living, Memory Support or Skilled Nursing care services. Your only extra costs are for additional meals and ancillary items.

About Vi

The Vi family of communities consists of 10 continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) located in six states across the U.S. In 2012 we celebrated our 25th anniversary as a developer, owner and operator of residential communities for older adults. We also maintain a commitment to financial stability at all of our locations, and with our final construction loan paid off in 2011, all CCRCs are now free of third party debt.
