Garden Plaza Of Aurora sits at 14221 East Evans Avenue in Aurora, right near Jewell Wetlands Park, so folks get nice views of the Rocky Mountains and a chance to see wildlife. This place feels like a resort, with a lot of different things for seniors to do, like playing billiards, walking along wide hallways with handrails, or practicing putt-putt on the putting greens outside. The grounds have walking paths, a gazebo, water features, and a bistro where you'll see fresh coffee, tea, fruit-infused water, and treats every day. Residents can choose between alcove, one-, or two-bedroom apartment homes, and units include full kitchens, patios or balconies, private bathrooms, washer/dryers, and all utilities-even cable and phone-are covered.
This is a continuum-of-care campus managed by Century Park Associates, and Amber Laurienti is the executive director. The community has independent living and assisted living options, as well as adult day care, home health care, memory care for dementia, skilled nursing, and rehab. There's an on-site physician's office and a 24-hour emergency response system watched by staff. The staff are well-trained, and the community helps with daily living tasks like bathing, grooming, and medication reminders. Residents get housekeeping, apartment maintenance, linen service, and scheduled transportation for social outings. Pets are welcome, and there are even guest suites for visitors.
Residents have a wide range of activities and wellness programs to keep them active and social, so there's always something on the calendar, with group events and individual engagement. There's a beauty salon, fitness center, card room, and comfortable lounge spaces for relaxing or meeting with neighbors. The formal dining room serves restaurant-style meals, and there's always someone around for meal, appointment, or activity reminders. The community uses visitor management systems, health screening, and safety technologies like Accushield® 5-Star Safety Rating, which means they take entry protocols and health safety seriously.
Residents and families can use care coordination services with visitor access systems and manage profiles for easier communication. The community also offers health library resources, medication information, symptom checker tools, and links to helpful community resources. There's a focus on easy care transitions, so when health needs change, most people can stay in the same community. No endowment's needed, and leases are month-to-month, which keeps things flexible for anyone looking for a safe, friendly place to age that's still close to nature and has plenty to do.
