I visited Gardens on Quail recently and was impressed across the board! The facility is large with a simple layout that is easy to navigate, the outdoor garden area was beautiful, and they have so many different amenities here for their residents - makes it easy for residents to find something they enjoy. The staff I got to interact with were great! Helpful, attentive, cheerful, and you can tell they really want to make this place feel like home for the residents. The cafeteria had a good selection, there were lots of activities available for residents to participate in, and there was a small chapel as well. Residents have a good amount of space in their rooms and can really take the opportunity to make it their own. Overall impressed!
Honestly blown away by The Gardens on Quail. The care team is attentive and intentional, always evaluating how to best support each resident. The culinary team consistently serves excellent meals, and the activities team brings fresh, creative ideas that truly help residents stay engaged and thrive.
And the gardens - absolutely unmatched. You won’t find an outdoor space like this anywhere in Arvada that’s fully accessible for all residents.
From the moment you walk in, it just feels like home.
I’ve visited my aunt at The Gardens on Quail many times, as well as putting another family member on the waitlist. At every visit, I’m warmly welcomed by every staff member and the facility is extremely clean. I highly recommend this facility.
Gardens on Quail deserves more accolades than I can even begin to articulate in a google review. Their staff and residence have surpassed any of my expectations and this is the best home I could have found for my father. I placed my father here in January 2025-after touring 4 other places close by. This was one of the hardest decisions in my adult life, as my father was my roommate-and I knew he deserved more care than I could offer. He also deserved a social setting where he could thrive. When you walk into gardens on quail you are greeted by friendly staff and an atrium full of light and love. The cleanliness of every alcove, public bathroom and activity area is unsurpassed. The building was built with natural light everywhere and the courtyard is one of our favorite places to "hang out". The activities (6 a day or more) are diverse and full of physical as well as cognitive options. The dining room is wonderful with options from a menu or the special of the day which is always beautifully displayed outside the dining room. I have worked closely with the chef to manage my fathers gluten free needs and she has gone above and beyond to accommodate him!
One very important factor for me in my decision, was making this "my home too". I often show up with my computer and work while my father is doing laps around the building, we have cocktails in the courtyard together and play "Velcro ax throwing". This was a party theme for us much of the summer with family and friends and everyone loves it! I have hosted parties in their private dining room (which feels like home), and helped in their vegetable and flower garden, decorated for the Christmas season, helped with special events like their Luau, I enjoy their happy hours on Friday-especially when Leonard sings. Every corner of the building offers a uniqueness with home decor. There is a library, a game room, a 50's dinner, several beautiful "living rooms" , a private dining room, a large atrium on the 1st floor boasting sunshine and piano and activities. There is music being played on the 1st floor as well as the courtyard. My dad receives PT/OT and Speech therapy as Empower Me works directly out of Gardens on Quail. There is a theatre, hair salon that are all wonderful places for him The reason I mention the above, is I get to be a part of this community which is VERY important to me. I am fully integrated much like I would do in my home, which helps my father feel more comfortable every single day. The staff is very attentive to each person needs and makes sure the residents get to their activities. It took my father several months to feel comfortable, now I often cannot find him in his room.
I received a text from my 91 year old father this morning that said "I love it here". I got teary knowing that the hardest decision in my adult life, was the right one and I chose the best place for him to thrive!
If you are looking to place a family member, make this a priority in your tours! I also recommend you make this your home too! Take the time to dine in the dining room, walk around, attend an event and you will see how wonderful Gardens on Quail is.
The people that work here-care about every resident and make Gardens on Quail a unique and special environment. I adore ALL of them and love to a part of this community. Thank you from my heart to Rick, Melissa, Adella, Bell, Taz, Jen, Barry, Mary, Angie, Mariah, Jesse, Jodi, Stephanie, Dawn, Liz, Lavonne, Mia-and anyone that I failed to mention. You are ALL amazing souls!
