Dear Staff at The Retreat at Church, Did you know that my mother called you her "Retreat Angels"? What an incredibly special experience I had with all of you while letting go of my dear precious mother. Each and everyone of you took time to love my mama and me. What a blessed and sacred experience we had together. Thank you and Bless you.

Dear Cindy, My father was very happy at The Retreat at Church Ranch and never asked to leave. For me, I am truly grateful that you trusted me and gave my father the chance to flourish as best he could under your loving care at your wonderful facility. I will forever be grateful to you and your staff. Thank you, dear lady, and God bless. In Peace,

Dear Retreat at Church Ranch, Our mother was so nervous and afraid to leave her home and move into your community. After just a few days, she didn't want to leave! She's made new friends, loves the staff that spend such wonderful time with her, and says the food and activities are something she looks forward to every day. Thanks for all the fantastic things you do for our Mom! Dear Cindy, You and your staff are just precious. We never dreamed our Mom and Dad would be living in a community that provides for them so well. The food, the…

To all the staff at The Retreat, Thank you for all the love and kindness you showed our mother over the nearly seven years that she lived a The Retreat. You will always have a warm spot in our hearts for being so caring and thoughtful. Thank you,

Cindy, Thank you so much for all you have done for our mom. Thank you for loving her and watching over her.

What I am truly thankful for is that my two sons and daughter know I'm so well cared for the rest of my life - this gives them each "a life of their own" with happiness. May God continue to bless our home!

To all the wonderful staff at The Retreat, All of you are so special! Every one of you works so hard to make The Retreat have a loving, caring, home atmosphere. Thank you for taking such great care of our father!

To all the Residents and Staff at The Retreat, We just wanted to send a note to thank all of you for making our Mother's life the past year and half an enjoyable one for her. She certainly felt at home at The Retreat. It made us secure knowing that she was among friends and that she was safe and comfortable there. The excellent staff made sure that all of her needs were taken care of. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and kindness and for taking those few moments to spend with her when you did. We appreciate it very much.

I have never seen a care facility with such loving people.

My mother lived at The Retreat for seven years. A friend told me what great care her grandmother received there. We are so happy we found such a lovely place for her to live. The staff and residents were so kind and caring right up to her last minute of her life. They became her family and mine also. I cannot express how much love and care she received from everyone. Thanks for taking such great care of her.❤️

The staff, management, food service are the best. THEY ARE TRULY SPECIAL! Mom stayed with them for four years and never voiced a negative comment. First thing I noticed was their wide variety of activities to engage their clients minds. Mom asked often, "How did you find this place?" Their care and cleanliness is exceptional, you are treated like family. They are always striving to improve the comfort of their seniors.

I moved my Mom in here about 5 years ago and couldn't be happier. They have taken great care of her. The facility is pretty small, which appealed to us and very comfortable. The price covers everything, so that's a plus and compared to other places we looked at, its totally worth it. The caregivers and staff are friendly and genuinely seem to like what they do and my mother has been happy there, which was not a given. She can be pretty difficult at times, but they are patient and loving and make it work. I would, without reservation,…

The Retreat At Church Ranch is full of kind residents and the most wonderful staff. The staff care so deeply about each individual resident and their families, and you can really feel that love and care. They think of all the details too, from entertaining live music (in non-pandemic days) to a beautiful outdoor garden that I absolutely LOVE taking a stroll through.

Deliver meds there...really nice facility. The staff is always so kind

The Retreat at Church Ranch is a rare gem. When I worked there, the activities were robust, the food was great, the residents and their families were happy!!

As a long time gerontologist and (retired) Vice President Academic Affairs with AARP, I became a professional acquaintance of the owners of The Retreat at Church Ranch. Their Care Model came to my attention professionally and I visited their lovely community on a number of occasions to see for myself what was going on there. What I found was a heartfelt and authentic orientation to the health and happiness of the residents and staff that created an uplifted, happy and positive aging experience. Their Care and Concern reports led to greatly reduced hospitalizations by catching illnesses early and preventing serious…

A truly lovely place for lovely people, love it💕

It has been my pleasure to work at The Retreat at Church Ranch and for Cindy Avery for the past 16 years. Though I am stepping away, I could not do so if I didn’t know the heart of the staff there. I saw as a co-worker as well as a customer, my mom and dad both lived there, the quality of every staff member there. These are the finest people I have ever known. Truly angels who walk earth.

If you were to make a list of every Assisted Living Center in Jefferson County this will be in the Top 3 every single time. A truly unique establishment.

My wife and I were talking about possibly moving our grandmother to another facility, and we love Retreat at Church Ranch. Unfortunately, we were unable to move her here due to her requiring a high level of care; however, we were so impressed with this place. The minute you walk into the facility you feel a sense of peace. The owners (who are very friendly and present in the care of their residents) have created an environment that is loving, welcoming, and feels more like home than a facility. Their staff are smiling, appear happy, and seem to genuinely care…
