Frasier, located at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, offers an exceptional Boulder setting, close to everywhere you’d like to be, with an enriching lifestyle and an involved community. Boulder is recognized as one of America’s best-educated, most active, happiest, and healthiest communities. It is a top travel and recreation destination with an average of 300 sunny days each year.

Frasier is affiliated with the Mountain Sky United Methodist Conference (formerly the Rocky Mountain Conference of the United Methodist Church) on twenty acres of land donated by Mr. Elmer Frasier. Since then, 300 apartments, 38 assisted living apartments, a 54-bed skilled nursing facility, multiple dining venues, and an award-winning wellness center comprise Frasier. As a not-for-profit organization founded upon the principle of service, Frasier endeavors to provide tangible benefits both to our residents and to the greater Boulder community. While these social accountability efforts focus on caring for seniors, we are proud of our partnerships with diverse organizations that work to improve the community in areas such as health, wellness, service, and leadership.

Earlier this month, we hosted our annual Holiday Artisan Fair with 40 incredible local vendors, festive snacks, hot cocoa, and handmade pottery from our very own resident pottery studio! It was a wonderful treat for residents, team members, family, and friends, just in time for the holidays.

Faces of Frasier: Resident Edition! Meet Penny, a resident who has built a rhythm here over the past five years. You can find her helping in our history room, meeting weekly with her friends for Friday happy hour, and teaching our women’s and men’s Tai Chi Cha classes, which always have perfect attendance.

Quick Q&A with Penny:
Q: If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
A: To know everything. I’d like to be like a Yoda, the wise one.

Q: If you had a time machine, would you go to the past or the future?
A: The future. I would love to see where my grandkids are 20 years from now. The past is the past, I don’t live with regrets.

Q: If you gave a TED Talk, what would it be about?
A: I’d talk about Tai Chi Cha, its only 19 movements, it really works on balance, and its meditation too. When I started out, it was just something to do to make friends. But now, it's really very important that I do it every day. It grounds me, it calms me, it gives me the feeling that there’s something out there bigger than me.

See you next time with more residents who are always putting a smile on your face!

Join us for this month’s Active Minds presentation: The Nutcracker Suite!
Every holiday season, Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker is performed countless times around the world, especially in North America. Although instantly successful when it premiered in 1892, the complete ballet didn’t become widely popular for decades. We’ll touch on the story, many classic pieces such as March of the Toy Soldiers, and look at how The Nutcracker has inspired other composers.

-Friday, December 12th
-10:30 a.m.
-The Canyons Center Movie Theater at Frasier
-Free & open to all – no sign-up required!

Food insecurity continues to weigh heavily on many in Boulder County, and Frasier team members stepped up to make a meaningful impact. Recently, our Culture Committee organized a food drive benefiting Sister Carmen Community Center (). And the response was inspiring! More than 640 pounds of food, along with monetary contributions, were donated to support our fellow neighbors in need. Sister Carmen, a non-religious nonprofit, provides food and essential services to individuals and families facing hardship.

Our Culture Committee, made up of dedicated Frasier team members, plans monthly engagement activities rooted in our values, often extending their reach beyond our campus. Earlier this year, they hosted a school supply drive, and now, through this food drive, they’re helping local families every day needs.

We’re incredibly grateful to our staff for their generosity and commitment to serving others. Their kindness continues to strengthen our community, one act at a time.

We had a wonderful time celebrating team member Kathryn Aronson’s retirement. Kathryn, our fantastic community life coordinator, has been part of Frasier for more than 27 years! Her passion for serving residents and her fun, free-spirited style have brightened our community every step of the way.

Cheers to Kathryn as she heads into her next chapter! We’ll miss her joyful energy.

Faces of Frasier: Team Member Edition! Say hi to Sam, an Activities Coordinator in The Meadows who is known for her great laugh. She plans calendars full of unique experiences and engaging traditions for our assisted living, memory support, and day program residents. Sam claims, “I have the best job at Frasier, if we can dream it, we can do it!”

Quick Q&A with Sam:
Q: If you could eat only one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
A: Watermelon! It’s sweet, it’s hydrating, and just refreshing. We eat it with salt on it, maybe it’s a Midwest thing.

Q: If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
A: Time travel. I think about our residents with memory loss. I would just love to spend a day with them and see them in their glory, doing professions that they are still so proud of --like teaching in a classroom, being CFOs, we have one woman who was a fashion designer!

Q: Do you have a favorite Frasier memory?
A: Gosh, so many! My absolute favorite is the community holiday sing-along. Everybody is in Mayme’s, and we are all singing together, no matter what your faith is, or your background. Everyone comes together and sings. It’s my favorite.

See you next time with more people who bring advocacy and creativity to Frasier!

Our residents in independent living, assisted living, and our skilled nursing community (including memory support, respite, and rehabilitation care) reflect the diverse and eclectic population of our well-known university town, which is home to the Boulder campus of the University of Colorado. Frasier was founded by the Rocky Mountain Conference of the United Methodist Church. The groundbreaking was held on June 8, 1958, on twenty acres of land contributed by Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Frasier, and we welcomed our first residents in April 1960. Subsequently, 300 independent living apartments, 38 assisted living apartments, a skilled nursing center, an arts and education center, and an award-winning wellness center have been constructed on the campus. As a not-for-profit organization founded upon the principle of service, Frasier endeavors to provide tangible benefits both to our residents and to the greater Boulder community.
