The Retreat at Church Ranch

What The Retreat at Church Ranch does

The Retreat at Church Ranch is a privately-held assisted living community located at 10190 Wadsworth Blvd in Westminster, Colorado, owned and operated by gerontologists Robin and Cindy Avery. The facility has operated continuously for over 20 years and provides 24-hour protective oversight along with assistance with medication administration, bathing, personal care, dressing, housekeeping, laundry, three daily chef-prepared meals plus snacks, transportation, cable/internet, and pharmacy/physician coordination. The core technology is fundamentally human-delivered care rather than digital infrastructure; the company's principal proprietary assets are its long-running resident programs — the Wisdom Circle (formerly the Long Straw Club), a 20+ year reflection group led by Llopón Rinpoche, the newly launched Hearth Gathering for storytelling and reminiscence, and the Alzheimer's Association's "Memories in the Making" art program — together with the Harmony & Grace Garden outdoor amenity certified as an official Monarch Butterfly Waystation.

The business operates as a direct-to-consumer assisted living provider serving individual seniors and their families across the Denver metro area including Westminster, Arvada, Broomfield, Boulder, Longmont, Erie, Thornton, Denver, and Louisville. Revenue is generated through a monthly subscription model: base rent by apartment size plus a "levels of care" assessment-based add-on that avoids surprise charges, with optional ancillary services (incontinence supplies, beauty/barber, diabetic footcare, room service, unscheduled transportation) billed separately. Customer acquisition is driven by direct contact (phone, email, website), healthcare-provider referrals, and word-of-mouth from families and medical providers, supported by content marketing through blog posts and monthly newsletters. With only 9 employees and no external investors, parent company, or disclosed funding history, the facility operates as a small, owner-operated local business; revenue is not publicly disclosed and there is no evidence of geographic expansion, M&A, or institutional capital activity.
