About Us
Enter Gracious Living ...
Since opening in March of 1989, the Courtyard has remained dedicated to its Residents and continues to strive for excellence in the assisted living concept. We pride ourselves on twenty years of shared professional experience and knowledge and have established a tradition of gracious assisted living at the Courtyard.
The Courtyard is owned and operated by three Loveland area professional women who share a concern for the quality of life for seniors. Kay vonMetzger, Donna Larson and Linda Vernon joined forces in 1987. Having “first-hand” experience with the issues of frail elderly, they set out to provide a full complement of quality care and services for the elderly and disabled. We believe wholeheartedly in creating a wholesome, healthy environment through assisted living.
Each Owner has their own expertise to contribute to the Courtyard’s success. They have all lived and operated independent businesses in the Loveland/Berthoud community for over 35 years. They have all been married for over 40 years and have grown children and now grandchildren. They are rooted in their community and have always actively supported the community in service activities as well as business.
Kay, an RN , owned a home care business for 14 years and a board and care home for about five years. She reviews and monitors the Courtyard’s health and medical policies to maintain the health of our Residents and to insure proper medical procedures.
Donna, the retired teacher, general contractor and farm manager, oversees the building operations and monitors the financial health of the Courtyard. Linda owns Designs, a retail clothing store in Old Town Ft. Collins, and has been in home and commercial interior design for over 30 years. She creates the beautiful home-like atmosphere you see throughout the building and outdoor gardens.
The Owners are often on site and participate in overall management to insure quality care, a safe and pleasant environment and above all, a home for the Residents.
The Courtyard's Mission Statement ...
