Gardens Care Senior Living - Homestead, at 2121 Wadsworth Blvd in Lakewood, Colorado, sits on a big 4.25-acre campus with green lawns and flowers blooming from spring to fall, and the community itself feels relaxed and welcoming, with friendly staff around day and night, so seniors can get help whenever they need it. The place includes two levels of care: independent living for folks who want to stay active and look after themselves with only a little help, and assisted living for those who need support with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or getting around, but don't need full-time nursing, plus there's also memory care for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, and short-term respite options for temporary stays. Independent living cottages come in several sizes-cozy one-bedroom, large one-bedroom, or two-bedroom-and feature a kitchen, living area, washer and dryer, and private bathroom, and assisted living apartments are either studios or one-bedroom, each with a kitchenette and full private bathroom, and you can pick between private or semi-private rooms. The main building's two stories hold a recently remodeled lodge, dining room, private suites, a salon, a library, a billiard room, and a theater room, while common areas like patios and walking paths make good spots to visit or sit outside with a pet, since both cats and dogs are welcome.
Residents get three nutritious meals a day made by chefs and meal planners who focus on quality and balanced food, and there are services for special health needs, including diabetic care, incontinence care, non-ambulatory care, and a 24-hour call system for emergencies, with staff trained to help manage medicines and keep folks safe and comfortable. Gardens Care Homestead cares about keeping people social and active, so every day holds scheduled activities like exercise classes, movies, church services, games, and outings, and there's a daily chronicles program for those who like to keep up with what's happening. The building makes it easy to spend time with others, with indoor rooms for socializing, eating, or reading, as well as outdoor gardens and patios, and people can use transportation services for errands or doctor visits, with plenty of parking on-site. The community wants every resident to feel like part of a family, with low staff-to-resident ratios so care stays personal, and the overall goal is to give seniors a safe, cheerful place to live that supports independence while offering assistance when needed, so every day can be as full as each person wants it to be.
