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 Donna, a resident known for her leadership skills. She had a remarkable career in the textile and quilting industry in New York City before moving to Frasier six years ago. She quickly became a neighborhood leader, then head of the public areas committee, and now is president of our Resident Council!

Quick Q&A with Donna:
Q: If you could master any skill instantly, what would it be?
A: Creative writing, I’d love to be a wordsmith. My husband writes, mostly catalogs of all the trips we’ve taken together. I’d like to be able to sit down and write a story.

Q: Do you have a favorite spot on Frasier campus?
A: We play mahjong every Monday and Saturday in the Prairies Business Suite. It’s nice because it’s quiet, and it’s easy to access for all of us. It’s a place I enjoy going because I enjoy what I’m doing.

Q: Is there something your grandparents or elders taught you that you still remember?
A: My mother was a real great seamstress, and she taught me how to sew at 5 years old. I sewed a lot when I was little, I made my dolls and their clothes. I worked for a sewing pattern company early in my career. That is how I got into the
textile industry. I made all of the garments that I wore when I commentated art and fashion shows for over 20 years!

Donna is one of many residents who opens her doors, sharing her leadership -and antique quilting collection - with everyone at Frasier!

We had the joy of celebrating the heart of Frasier, our dedicated team members. In 2025, we honored anniversary milestones in five-year increments, recognizing service ranging from 5 to an incredible 40 years. Twenty-three team members were celebrated and received milestone awards commensurate with their tenure.

Their commitment, compassion, and dedication are foundational to the high-quality, person-centered care provided at Frasier. This kind of longevity reflects people who believe deeply in their work and in the community they serve. We are grateful for every year, every milestone, and every team member who continues to carry our purpose forward.

January is National Soup Month, and at Mayme’s Market, that’s worth celebrating!

Even if the weather isn’t exactly screaming “soup season,” our bowls still are. Our chef and dining services team whip up delicious daily soups, plus a weekly feature. Always nutritious, always comforting, and always tasty.

Whether it’s Mexican Street Corn, Black Bean Caribbean Mango, a Classic Chicken Noodle, or the "fan favorite" Clam Chowder, there’s always something warm and wonderful waiting at Frasier...soup happens here 😄!

Faces of Frasier: Team Member edition! Meet Ashley, who has worked here for over two and a half years. She has been the go-to for resident billing and a master of juggling payroll, AP, and finance projects. When she’s not thriving in organized chaos, she loves connecting with residents and listening to live orchestras and bands that perform here at Frasier.

Quick Q&A with Ashley:
Q: If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?
A: Ireland and Scotland. I’ve never been, but I’m an avid reader and one of my favorite book series is set there. I’ve read them so many times that I feel like I’ve already visited. The author occasionally organizes trips to Ireland, so I’m secretly saving up, hoping she does it again.

Q: What’s your go-to Mayme’s order?
A: Salted caramel cold brew. With salted caramel cold foam. Sammy makes the best cold foam, and there’s always extra, so I get a little cup of it on the side.

Q: Do you have a favorite spot on campus?
A: My favorite spots are the puzzle nooks! If I walk by, I have to put one piece in. It’s so satisfying! Sometimes, when I’m busy, I have to avoid those nooks.

Q: What would your dream day off look like?
A: Right now, its snowboarding season, so ideally, waking up in the mountains on a snowy day, hitting the powder, come back, sit in a hot tub, read a book with a mimosa. Perfect.

Ashley reminds us to focus on the positive. We are lucky to have her creativity and joy everyday at Frasier. See you next time!

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.
