MacKenzie Place – Colorado Springs Named Best of the Springs

Jul 6, Alissa Sauer

There are few compliments more meaningful than being recognized by the people who know you best. That’s why we’re honored to be named among the Best of the Springs by readers of The Colorado Springs Gazette.

Each year, local residents nominate and vote for the businesses, organizations, and places that make Colorado Springs feel like home. From favorite restaurants to neighborhood parks and senior living communities, the Best of the Springs celebrate the people and places that leave a lasting impression.

For all of us at MacKenzie Place – Colorado Springs, this recognition is especially meaningful because it comes from our own local community.

Recognized by Our Community. Inspired by Our Residents.

Every day, we have the privilege of welcoming residents, families, friends, volunteers, and neighbors through our doors. They gather over coffee, attend concerts and lectures, celebrate birthdays, volunteer together, and enjoy the simple moments that make a community feel like home.

Those everyday experiences are what make MacKenzie Place special, and we’re grateful that so many people have shared those experiences with others and took the time to vote for us.

Being recognized locally is an incredible honor. We’re equally proud that MacKenzie Place has also been nationally recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a Best Independent Living, Best Assisted Living, and Best Memory Care community.

These national recognitions are based on feedback from residents and their families: people who experience life here every day. Together, these awards reflect something we strive for in every interaction: creating a place where people feel welcomed, supported, and truly known.

Recognition that Reflects Our Commitment

Awards are wonderful, but they’re not what motivates us. What matters most is the way our residents and their families feel at home here. We love hearing a resident say they’ve made a new friend, watching families relax knowing their loved one is in good hands, or seeing neighbors discover a new hobby, attend their first community event, or simply enjoy another beautiful Colorado morning with people they care about.

That’s the heart of MacKenzie Place. It’s a place where independence and assistance find balance, where every resident is encouraged to continue living a life filled with purpose, connection, and joy.

“Our granddad has been living here for about 2 months and is really enjoying himself! It is amazing to see him get to be social and surrounded by people his age. There are a ton of activities, a gym and even a full-on movie theater. The staff are fantastic and always helpful. It’s in a very great location, making it super easy for our whole family to stop by at any time. Overall, Mackenzie Place is a vibe; I might just need to put my name on the waiting list for when it’s my time!” – Tristen F., family member of a resident
