Wonderful caring staff, but not enough of them
I placed my loved one here when his Alzheimer’s had progressed to the point that I could no longer safely care for him at home.He lived in the memory care unit for six months until his death. The proximity of the facility to my home far outweighed my concerns regarding the level of staffing and care. The caregivers and the staff were caring and kind, and truly care about the residents. Unfortunately, this is a small town in a remote area and it is hard to retain good staff. The facility simply doesn’t have enough people. Sometimes I felt that the caregivers were overwhelmed. The activity director is amazing, but she needs an assistant. It would be great if someone with a medical background were on staff as well. These are just my observations. If, heaven forbid, I had to do this all over again, I would still have placed my husband here.

Review for Sunshine Gardens
A lot of the staff was friendly, but I felt at times my mom was brushed off on being checked on. They were also a huge hassle to get our refund back after my mom had passed. We went through months of being ignored and having to constantly email or call to see if our check was on the way. But they're real quick to get their payment at the beginning of the month. Activities or entertainment in memory care could be better. More music and outdoor time would be great. The meals were small and sometimes not appealing. Even with all of this said I would still recommend Sunshine Gardens because it's way better care than any other facility in the area.

The caregivers genuinely care about the residents. I don't ever have to worry about my mom being taken care of. They're also very good about updating about any concerns.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Colorado regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Colorado regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored Sunshine Gardens 7.5 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
