A lovely place for the residents, but employees are sometimes treated very unfairly. Management has lots of miscommunication issues and when I worked there and tried to address them, I was met with extremely negative backlash. This is ultimately a place full of toxic positivity and it explains their high turnover rate for employees.

The care team at the Gardens on Quail are AMAZING. They are supported by great leadership who prioritize professionalism, patience, dignity, respect, and teamwork. They listened to the needs and nuances that were key for a smooth transition for our Mother. There is continuous and open communication regarding her care plan. And they all seem to really enjoy their jobs.
We never imagined that our Mother would ever be in a position where she would need to leave her home, but that day came and we are grateful that we found the Gardens on Quail. The facility is beautiful, clean, comfortable and feels

A few years ago my Grandmother lost her husband (my Papa) of 57 years. After his passing, life and living alone became too much for her to bear. She was hesitant as moving to an assisted living facility would be quite a significant change to the life she was accustomed to. To be honest, my family and I were as well. It is never an easy decision and in my mind I was going to be "sending a loved one away"... Well I am here to tell you that my train of thinking was completely incorrect. I didn't send a loved one away. In fact, the complete opposite. Due to the outstanding staff and facility, I was

My Grandmother stood at the Gardens on Quail. She loved it there. She always said it felt like home and a big part of that was due to the amazing staff. I can’t thank the team there enough. Amazing Retirement Community!!!!

My brother has been at the Gardens for awhile. He is in the Memory Care.
He likes the Gardens very much. Everyone is so nice there, caring, and fun. Lots of activities going on, the Courtyard is nice, and clean. My brother thinks he is in a resort! Greatly appreciate the whole staff!💞

My mother has lived in Gardens on Quail since her 92nd birthday in 2017. We made her room feel like home and she has always been proud of it and enjoyed visitors. She made many friends and enjoyed the activities in which she participated. Then 2020 brought huge changes but the staff tried very hard to visit and help out in many personal ways to make life as enjoyable as possible. The director followed the CDC guidelines and kept the residents safe. Many changes are currently being made and it is our hope that things will be even better.

My husband was a patient here for rehab after falling and breaking his leg. The staff was wonderful very patient with him and kept me informed every step of the way. Because of COVID restrictions I wasn’t allowed to visit which was hard but I’m grateful they were keeping all the residents safe. All of the staff were very professional and compassionate. They made a difficult time more bearable.

First of all, I went through the reviews before I sat down to write mine. My mother was sent there from the hospital for rehab so she could return home safely from Lutheran Hospital. We toured Gardens and everything was nice and couldn't have had a better experience. That was until she actually got sent there.

I relied on my niece to be there the afternoon that they sent her to Gardens on Quail. I went to visit her the following day to find her in hysterics and concerned. She was trying to explain what had been happening between chocking tears. Once I finally got it all out of her what

This is my second review from another experience with family. Had chosen the rehab location due to insurance constraints and closeness to my home but things have certainly gotten worse over the past 2 years. I had heard comments from community members that now make much more sense. The meals are average and some days better than others. Certainly not what I would expect for a high end place they advertise themselves to be. Dining staff really nice and they get 5 stars. Nursing staff very disinterested in quality of patient care and lack of communication in general. Many were temp agencies workers

The Gardens on Quail is a beautiful clean place. The rooms are real nice. The only problem was we had to hire extra help to see after our loved one as she sometimes tried to get up alone. We ask that they put an alarm on her but we were told that by law they could not use them. For the money we were spending per month I thought they would take care of our loved one but we had to have a person stay with her all the time. Other than that it is a great place.

In looking at the other reviews, it is clear which ones are made from actual patient's family members, and which ones are from staff or their friends- especially the ones patting the administrator Sara on the back for her dedication to duty :/ Our 88-year-old mother was in this place for 21 days and we sure never saw her nor had her reach out to us to see how our experience was going.
First of all, the place is beautiful, there's no denying that. It's one of the nicest places in Denver, but that's where the positives end. From the very first day it was a nightmare. Her medication

Research other facilities first! My family member is currently staying here and they forgot her medication twice in the first day, another nurse charted that she gave her medications when she infact did not. This almost led to her being rushed to the hospital. Certain nurses are sweet and helpful, while others need to chose a new career path. Perhaps one that doesn't involve working with patients. When pressing the call button, allow about 15 minutes for anyone to respond, because that's how long it will take.

I will say the care at Gardens on Quail is second to none. From the time you walk in the front door to the time you leave, you'll see what I'm writing about! Many smiles, the staff interacts with residents and each other in a way that is contagious and respectful. Sara the administrator fosters a resident centered environment and will accept nothing less. She can often be seen jumping in and filling any position she can to help her team.

A Great Place! I have worked in healthcare in various capacities for 30 years and been employed by the Gardens' management company for a total of 5 years and have yet to have come across a better company for which to work. The focus on delivering patient direct and centered care is second to none and it is clearly reflected in our consistent approach to giving compassionate resident care. The building itself is warm, stylish and homelike. From dietary to nursing and from maintenance to therapies, each department does it's part to deliver excellent care and service to the guests. It

I have worked in the industry for 15 plus years. Gardens on Quail is simply one of the best skilled nursing facilities I have ever worked for. This locally owned community is forward thinking. Sara Dent the Administrator is kind, caring and goes above and beyond to take care of her residents and staff. She is a team player and fills in wherever needed..... even if that means picking up CNA shifts! GOQ is a family oriented community and we love when our families are in around and involved. Our staff and team of directors is committed to providing exceptional, first class care with ongoing communication

Our recent experience at Gardens had its ups and downs. My husband was there to recoup from a very serious accident. Broken back, 6 fractured ribs, torn spleen, head trauma. Used a walker and brace.
Problems started when a nurse was getting him up, and I yelled out to get his brace. She said"what brace". I replied that he had a broken back. Her reply "I didn't know that!!" Later we were told by another nurse that his file was so thick they didn't read it!!!!
He was accused of smoking MJ when the smell came from one of their staff. He DID NOT use

As anyone who has an elderly family member, it can be tough trying to decide whether they are fit to live alone at home, move in with family, or move to an assisted living facility.

A family member of ours living in Denver with parkinson's and anxiety who was living at home alone, was taken here for rehabilitation when she had fallen. During her time in Gardens on Quail's nursing home she was able to recover, but decided to stay. She, as well as our family, decided that it was a safer and better lifestyle to continue living under the care of Gardens on Quail's nurses. Since moving
