Our annual Mackenzie Place Octogenarian Golf Tournament is a celebration of active living, community, and the incredible spirit of our local seniors. This year, we were honored to welcome 80 golfers, all age 80 and over, for a round of golf filled with friendly competition, laughter, and connection.

The tournament gives our community an opportunity to celebrate these remarkable individuals and recognize that age is no limit to living an active, engaged, and fulfilling life. It is more than just a day on the golf course—it is a celebration of longevity, friendship, and the joy of staying active at every stage of life.

This special event would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors. Their contributions help us provide a memorable and elevated experience. We look forward to next year's tournament!

It's been very hot in Colorado Springs. Sometimes, you just need to have a water gun fight!

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.
Best of the Springs - MacKenzie Place - Colorado SpringsEvery 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

Yesterday, we had a truly special event in our community. Our assisted living and memory care caregivers shined as they shared their culture with our residents in a meaningful and heartfelt way.
From traditional dances and a thoughtful Q&A sharing insight into the rich, communal culture of the Philippines, every moment brought connection and understanding. The experience was beautifully tied together with a dinner inspired by their heritage, giving our residents the opportunity to get to know our incredible staff on a deeper level.

This was teamwork that truly went above and beyond—collaborating with our chef to curate a meaningful, authentic menu, dedicating time to rehearse traditional dances, and thoughtfully creating a program that allowed us to learn and connect with their culture.
From start to finish, it was an honor to witness our amazing caregivers share such an important part of their lives with us. We are so grateful for their passion, dedication, and the vibrant culture they bring to our community every day.

Throughout the month of February, we’re moving with purpose — raising funds and awareness for our local non-profit partner, Care and Share Food Bank of Southern Colorado.

Last night, we had the joy of hosting our Philanthropic Dinner, where residents gathered around the table with members of our team for an evening rooted in connection and community. In true Leisure Care fashion — leaving our mark and striking a balance — it was a night to remember.

Guests enjoyed a beautifully prepared three-course meal, all set to the elegant ambiance of the Colorado Springs Philharmonic.

We're grateful for a community that shows up, gives back, and makes an impact together.

We are thrilled to celebrate our incredible Chef Anthony Neal on successfully completing his CEC (Certified Executive Chef) certification! This achievement reflects months of dedication and hard work—from a rigorous written exam to an intense practical test where he crafted a four-course menu for Chef Evaluators and showcased his skills with market basket ingredients.

From deboning chicken and filleting fish, to working with live lobsters, mastering classic cuts and sauces, and countless hours of practice on his days off, Chef Neal poured his heart into every step of this journey.

Anthony has always had a deep passion for cooking and he dedicated this milestone to his late father, Orlandus Neal Sr., and his dear friend Chef Nate Dirnberger—both of whom he knows were cheering him on from above.

We couldn’t be more proud to have a chef who brings not only incredible talent to Mackenzie Place, but also heart, perseverance, and a true commitment to excellence.

Please join us in celebrating this amazing accomplishment—Congratulations, Chef Neal! 👏👨‍🍳✨
