GLENDALE, Colo.—WellAge Senior Living, a respected managed services organization for independent, assisted and memory care living, announces that two key staff at its Arbor View Senior Living community in Arvada have won awards from the Colorado Health Care Association at the organization’s 2026 Spotlight on Excellence event held in Denver on Sept. 24.
Nicole (Nikki) Overby, Arbor View’s executive director, was named CHCA’s 2026 Assisted Living Administrator of the Year. Overby joined the Arbor View Senior Living team in 2023 as the community’s Health and Wellness Director and Resident Care Coordinator. As a result of her dedication, training, and understanding of the community and resident needs, she was named the executive director and today she oversees day-to-day operations, including regulatory and budget compliance, sales and marketing, activities, goal setting, and staff development.
Jamie Chapa, Arbor View’s longtime life enrichment director, was also singled out for her work at the CHCA event as she was named 2026 Life Enrichment Director of the Year. Chapa’s interest in long-term care was piqued in high school and grew into a career that now spans more than three decades, including more than 20 years at Arbor View Senior Living.
“Nikki and her team at Arbor View Senior Living have done an excellent job of providing quality living and health care options for residents in the Arvada area. It is great to see Nikki and Jamie spotlighted for their excellent work,” said Elizabeth Girling, vice president of operations for WellAge Senior Living, which owns and operates Arbor View Senior Living.
Under Overby’s leadership, Arbor View Senior Living has been on a winning streak lately, having recently been tabbed by the Arvada Press as the “2026 Best of the Best” winner in three senior living categories, including Best Assisted Living, Best Independent Living and Best Retirement Community.
