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. Since 1960, Frasier has provided exceptional quality services to seniors. As a not-for-profit Life Plan community, the needs of our residents always come first. Our residents in independent living, assisted living, memory support, and our skilled nursing center (including respite and rehabilitation care) reflect the diverse and eclectic population of our well-known university town, which is home to the University of Colorado. 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.

Faces of Frasier: Resident Edition! Meet Jan, who has been a part of the Frasier community for just under a year. Shaped by a family of entrepreneurs, physicists, and artists, Jan learned early the importance of finding meaningful work. With a background in law, banking, and ministry, she has spent her life learning and building thoughtful connections.

Quick Q&A with Jan:
Q: If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?
A: I would go back to New Zealand. The environment and the people are wonderful, I like the fact that there are more sheep than people. The year we were there, they were filming the Hobbit!

Q: If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
A: The ability to read minds. Communication is so central to so much of what we do, and very often, we guess what people are thinking, and we guess wrong.

Q: What’s something new you’ve tried at Frasier?
A: Pottery, in the clay studio. Barbara is wonderful, very patient and non-judgmental. I will never be a world-class potter, but since I live in my head for all my professional life, it’s really nice to do something with my hands.

We are glad to welcome Jan as a part of the Frasier community, see you next time!

Wishing you a joyful Easter filled with peace, love and happiness. 🐣

Happy 66th Anniversary to Frasier!

Since opening our doors in April 1960, we’ve been proud to call Boulder home, serving older adults with purpose, compassion, and a commitment to celebrating life to the fullest. What began as a generous gift of land from Elmer and Mayme Frasier has grown into a vibrant community of nearly 500 residents, supported by more than 350 dedicated team members.

Here’s to 66 years of care, connection, and community....and many more to come!

Faces of Frasier: Team Member Edition! Meet Scott, an Exercise Specialist in our Wellness Center. Since starting last June, he has combined his expertise in personal training with his passion for movement and longevity. He spends his days helping residents improve how they feel, move, and function, from aqua-fit classes to chair classes, to one-on-one training.

Quick Q&A with Scott:
Q: If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
A: To read minds, you always know where you stand, right?

Q: If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
A: I’ll say an egg. I can eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You can do a lot with it. And I have some type of eggs every day.

Q: Is there something you’ve tried for the first time since working here?
A: I’ve never taught an aqua class! And I’ve never worked strictly with this population. I’ve found that this demographic is easier to work with in a lot of ways, those doing the personal training are doing it more for the right reasons. It’s a lot more about getting more out of life, to function better, to improve daily lives.

We’re grateful to have someone so passionate about helping others live better, stronger lives.

We’re excited to share that the March/April issue of McKnight's Long-Term Care News features President and CEO Christie Hinrichs!

From college student and young mom working two full-time jobs to social worker to CEO of Frasier and LeadingAge board chair, Christie’s path was anything but linear.

We’re incredibly proud to see her story recognized on a national stage. Read the full article to learn more about Christie's midwestern roots and how her curiosity and persistence are shaping Frasier and the future of senior living.

Born and raised on a small farm 15 miles outside of tiny Callaway, NE, Christie Hinrichs knows the recipe for and value of a hard day’s work.

Our Story

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. Since 1960, Frasier has provided exceptional quality services to seniors and is Colorado’s only accredited Life Plan Community. As a not-for-profit community, the needs of our residents always come first. 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. 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.
