Gardens Care Senior Living - Quaker Acres sits in a quiet, west Arvada neighborhood, about five miles outside Applewood, Colorado, and offers a home-like setting for older adults who need different types of care. The community holds up to 12 residents but has 10 private bedrooms, some with French doors, private or powder bathrooms, all made with seniors' comfort in mind, and there's a modern farmhouse feel with hardwood floors and rustic touches throughout the 5,000-square-foot space. Folks enjoy large outdoor areas like a big back deck, front patio courtyard, and gardens where you might see people tending to plants, watching the scenery of open spaces and horse properties, or just chatting together since the place has a friendly and close-knit atmosphere.
The staff can help with daily living activities and mobility, and they're trained to offer compassionate care, especially for those needing assisted living services or memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia. Personalized care plans fit each resident, and skilled nurses and personal care assistants keep an eye on folks' health, with nursing help available as needed, medication reminders, and visits from rounding physicians. There's home care and skilled nursing on-site, plus options like independent senior living if someone's a bit more active, and there's also respite care for short-term stays and hospice care when it's needed.
Rooms come both furnished or unfurnished, and each has wifi, cable, and storage, while other services include linen, laundry, housekeeping, maintenance, and even pharmacy support on-site, so daily life stays simple. People keep busy with game nights, painting lessons, literary programs, fitness classes, yoga, and weekly church services, with outings to local places like Leyden Lake, Olde Town Arvada, or just down to the garden for horticulture activities, and there's always someone organizing dance parties or movie nights to keep spirits up. Communal dining, guest meals, and in-room meal service are available, and pets are welcome, too. Veterans can get help through VA Aid Assistance, and families can pay by check, card, or use insurance.
The Gardens Care group runs several senior communities across Colorado and Arizona, so Quaker Acres is part of this wider network dedicated to respectful care and independence for every resident. Staff help determine the right care level with a free assessment, and they aim to provide safety, dignity, and comfort every day in a place that feels like home-but it's always about what each person needs to stay as independent and happy as they can be, every single day.
