Senior Living News in Highlands Ranch

Bob and Patricia "Patty" Lee started playing instruments at a young age. However, like many hobbies and interests, their clarinet and trumpet fell by the wayside when life got busy. 

Shortly after moving to Wind Crest, they heard that there was a resident-led band at the community--the perfect opportunity to pursue their love of music in retirement. 

 For over 50 years, Dr. Deborah Bublitz has cared for countless children as a dedicated pediatrician in Littleton, Colo. When she retired, she knew Wind Crest, the Erickson Senior Living community in Highlands Ranch, Colo., was the perfect place to begin her next chapter.

People who live in retirement communities are less lonely, more physically active, and more engaged than before they moved in, according to a June 2025 U.S. News & World Report survey.

That certainly holds true at Wind Crest, where residents have plenty of opportunities to connect with neighbors through clubs, exercise classes, volunteer efforts, creative pursuits, and shared meals.
