We moved my Aunt in at the beginning of April to the Memory Care side of Bethesda Gardens. Our family is so grateful for the lovely staff members that have made her feel so welcomed in her new home! They have been so kind to her and gentle. She raves about the food they have, the kitchen staff do a really good job! During a fairly stressful time for us, Mia in the admissions office did so much to help us through the process and get us all set up and moved in. I just cannot say enough wonderful things about this facility. Thank you for making this transition a beautiful one!

I've been to a lot of assisted living and memory care facilities but this one is so inviting. Its beautiful on the inside both with the people that work here and the environment they keep. The staff care immensely about the care they provide for their patients, and the maintenance is upkept thoroughly. Management is very professional, and helpful, and they, as well as the care staff, are always willing to assist you or answer any questions you may have. The activities department works hard to ensure their residents have something engaging and exciting to look forward to everyday/week. Consistency is huge here, from the front desk to the back offices, everyone is actually on the same page.

Bethesda Gardens is the place to be for your loved ones! I had my Grandma living there and the staff was so amazing to her! The facility was very clean and Mia Marquez was such a wonderful tour guide, she was extremely nice and welcoming! My Grandma passed away from cancer and the whole time they loved on her like she was there own. When we would show up to visit, they would be in there playing games with her or doing her nails. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!

My mother has been a resident here for just over 3 yrs and both her and I have been happy with the over all care. For the most part I am extremely satisfied with the staffs level of professionalism and kindness. The food they serve has been both nutritious and well prepared. My mom’s apartment is spacious and kept clean. Her medications are monitored and dispensed correctly and on time. The laundry lady is awesome and keeps her clothing clean and put away. I have confidence in my mom’s safety and security while I am at work. As with most assisted care facilities they do have high turnover with basic service staff, however the main leadership and management remain stable and strong, I recommend this facility to any family in Thornton or north Denver area looking for a safe and well managed assisted home for their loved one.

Paul is a 96 year old friend of mine that recently moved into Bethesda Gardens. His relatives live out of state and visit as often as possible. I'm a trusted source for overseeing his affairs on behalf of the family. I was impressed with every aspect of this facility. The staff is genuine, professional, and extremely helpful. Beyond that, the residents all seem to enjoy the facility. The building is modern, and in excellent condition. The dining room is inviting and serves amazing meals. The activities are abundant. Paul has settled in seamlessly and genuinely likes his new residence. This is a positive move, and I highly recommend it.

How our free service works, and how we are paid

Colorado asks us to share this with you in writing before we introduce you to a community.

MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps you find senior living. We are paid by our participating communities: if you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee. You never pay us anything.

We do not own or manage any community, and none owns us. Our only ties to the communities we list are the referral agreements that pay us and the listing upgrades some buy. A community that pays us is marked Partner or Sponsored on our site, and a community that has bought verification is marked Verified.

The communities we suggest may not be every one in your area, and we can only make introductions to communities that work with us. We suggest communities by the care you need, the area, your timeline and budget, and what families say about them, never by what a community pays us. If a community stops meeting our qualifications, for example its licence lapses or it stops accepting referrals, we stop suggesting it.

To make an introduction we share your name, contact details and the care needs you told us about, and nothing else. You can stop using our service at any time, for any reason and at no cost, and if you do we will let any community we introduced you to know.
