Get to Know Our Inviting Retirement Community

Since 1990, Someren Glen has been a trusted retirement community, providing quality personalized care and services in Centennial, CO in south metro Denver. As a neighborhood of Christian Living Communities, Someren Glen is a locally owned and operated, faith-based non-profit senior living community. We have established a solid reputation for quality, life enriching, resident-directed service.

Someren Glen is a Continuing Care Community, offering multiple levels of services and care on one campus, all nestled on 14 sprawling acres.

Our Vision

Creating communities where aging is honored and celebrated

Our Mission

Christian Living Communities enriches the quality and dignity of life for older adults through services and care that reflect Christian love, respect, and compassion toward each individual.

Who We Are

Our Centennial, CO Neighborhood

Our Centennial, CO Neighborhood

Someren Glen sits on a sprawling 14 acres, nestled in the heart of a charming and serene residential neighborhood. While our community offers a retreat from bustling city life, it is also conveniently located near Centennial’s amenities and attractions, including parks and open spaces, shopping centers, medical centers and hospitals, and other essential services.

From The Johnson Center to Someren Glen

From The Johnson Center to Someren Glen

In partnership with the Helen K. and Arthur E. Johnson Foundation, a not-for-profit family foundation, CLC opened The Johnson Center in 1990. At the time, it was the only community in Arapahoe County offering both long-term care and assisted living services.

In 1996, with generous support from The Johnson Foundation, another building was added to the campus. The Village offered residential and independent living apartment homes as well as additional assisted living apartments.

In the following years, the campus expanded services to offer the continuum of care we are known for today. Yet, not everyone realized the two buildings were part of one neighborhood, one community, and one continuum of support.

In 2013, CLC repositioned the campus under one identifying name, Someren Glen, so that residents, families, and the greater area would come to know the promise of this community built upon the legacy of The Johnson Center.

The Non-Profit Difference

The Non-Profit Difference

As non-profit organizations, Someren Glen and our parent organization, Christian Living Communities (CLC), are committed to our mission of enriching the lives of older adults. This mission guides all decision making across the organization.

Rather than being accountable to shareholders, we are accountable to an all-volunteer board of directors. CLC prioritizes resident and team member well-being above all else, and is not required to maximize profits in the interest of shareholders as for-profit companies are.

Someren Glen’s and CLC’s profits are managed for the future growth of our organization to ensure we are able to sustain and grow our collective mission.

Our Culture of Citizenship

Continuum of Person-Directedness

Our Culture of Citizenship

The Citizenship Model, created by our parent organization, Christian Living Communities, is an age-positive, empowerment approach rooted in the belief that each individual, at every age and level of abilities, has gifts, passions, talents, and experience that can make the community stronger and better.  When people view themselves as active citizens in their communities, there is influence, meaning, autonomy, belonging and an overall sense of well-being. 

Residents, team members, family members, and our vendor partners are all citizens, who together, weave a beautiful and vibrant tapestry of living.  

We believe this approach will revolutionize aging services, moving beyond traditional cultures that focus on a declinist view of aging to purpose-filled cultures of shared responsibility, to citizenship.

I felt at home here from the day I moved in. I was especially happy that a chaplain was on staff who conducted mid-week chapel and Sunday church services.

My two sons are glad I chose to be here. One can be as busy as desired or as alone as desired. Not having to cook a main meal each day is a joy!
