My Step Father was moved here after an experience at a close by facility which is where his untimely demise started. Alexa was in charge of his admission process and she was so nice and made it sound like we had finally found a place that he would be taken care of. I’m not sure if Alexa is completely aware of the daily happenings at this place…He had a fractured hip when he arrived in January 2026 and he died 2 weeks later. He was heavily medicated by the nurse at CO PACE and allowed to be highly medicated, by this facility. By the time I was able to reverse this decision, it was too late; he never regained his regular mental awareness that he had the day he was admitted. (January 30, 2026)<br>Thank God for Austin, his caretake here. If it wasn’t for him, my Step Father, me and my family would have been alone and uncared for during the entire 2 weeks. When Austin was there, he took care of my Step Father. When Austin wasn’t there, I’m not sure anyone saw to my Step Father’s needs.<br>It’s as if management, Gabrielle and CO PACE nurse, Brittany, had a mission to make sure my Step Father passed away as quick as possible and sadly, he did. The day before he passed, his daughter and I cleaned and cut the food from his beard, (the staff wanted to just shave his face) removed food that was still inside of his mouth, cleaned the grime off of his teeth and attempted to clean up his soiled body. When he passed the next day, my mom was with him because she wouldn’t leave. Austin took care of both of them until his shift ended and then no one checked on either of them.<br>My mom had to call the front desk from her phone in his room and ask for someone to proceed with next steps which wasn’t a swift, timely or compassionate process. When I went to move his belongings out of his room later that day, no one offered condolences or assistance. Mission accomplished, Gabrielle and Gardens “Care” Center at Saddle Rock. You should truly be ashamed of yourselves. May God have Mercy on you all.

Our family is deeply grateful to the entire team at Gardens Care at Saddle Rock for the exceptional care they provided my dad over the last 13 months of his life. Every member of the team—from the caregivers and dietary staff to the leadership team—was genuinely invested in his well-being, dignity, comfort, and safety.<br><br>Throughout his stay, I witnessed compassionate, attentive care at all hours of the day and night. As his needs increased and he entered the final chapter of his life, the staff continued to care for him with remarkable kindness, respect, and unwavering compassion.<br><br>I am especially thankful for the love and support they also extended to my mom. She was my dad's fiercest advocate and never left his side, and the team cared for her just as thoughtfully as they cared for him.<br><br>"Thank you" hardly seems adequate to express our appreciation. Knowing my dad was surrounded by people who truly cared brought our family tremendous comfort during an incredibly difficult time. We will always be grateful to everyone at Gardens Care at Saddle Rock for the difference they made in my dad's life and in ours.

Gabrielle, first and foremost, I need to thank you for your help with the care of my mother. You and your organization have impacted me in a way I will never forget. Your partnership, support and understanding through my mother's stay in your home is greatly appreciated. You and your staff were dependable and a strong shoulder to lean on regarding my mother, her dementia, and the transitions she went through as she declined. Although there were a few bumps along the way, we were able to determine mom often created these concerns and we were able to make adjustments to help her. Your knowledge, counseling, and direction on how to help me and my mother were extremely helpful. Please share with your team my appreciation for all of their hard work and their top level care for my mother. Your team’s eagerness to help in the dining room, the housekeeper’s willingness to clean at a drop of a dime, and your nursing staff were so supportive every day. You, Vanessa, Austin, Sequoia, and Aurelia will always be considered life savers for me. Their funny stories and ability to listen to me talk about my mother’s quirks helped me to work through her changes and to prepare me for my mother’s journey. THANK YOU! Jim P. Baca.

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.
