Speaking from an employees perspective:…read more I have been on with the team for about 8 months now. I've worked in the field for 8 years ( so as you can imagine, I've had training and experience in several facilities) This place was absolutely draining, on all levels. The façade of a beautiful building, and well lit gardens, and exceptional " Care provided to the residents" is absolute delusion. I have watched our team, my residents whom I provide care to, and my own well being turn completely downhill, which is why I feel the need to speak on this. Management and HR are not friendly, or welcoming or empathetic towards care staff at all, instead they are rude and entitled and walk the building with nothing but a higher demeanor, than those who actually provide care to these residents and work extremely hard on the floor providing care, and respect and constant interaction to these residents. I have not had a single, welcoming or open minded- conversation with any management since our previous HR has left the building. I have instead ran into conversations where those who do their jobs, and do an amazing job at it, are consistently belittled by HR and management. Yet, those who are lazy but favorited by management are constantly allowed passes for behaviors and LACK of care to these residents. The job itself is stressful, yes. But we all get into this field even as Caregivers to do our jobs and do the best we can. We also have lives outside of work environments, and some harder than others. This is where survival mode and flight of fight play a role- but to those that show up everyday and WORK THE FLOOR- we are discarded and picked apart -daily, but also while being extremely understaffed and drained ourselves. Yet still- NO support from our HR or ED or management as a whole. I have never felt so out of touch with a work environment claiming to do so much good for these residents- meanwhile disregarding and completely out of touch with their employees whom actually work with these residents and are the ones providing care. Pay compensation and expectations are not lined up at all. all this goes to say- Please DO BETTER, for our residents, for your care staff. for OURSELVES. No job should be or feel this draining on every level.

Fall for a pretty facade and this is what you will get! I won't deny that this is one of the most…read morebeautiful facilities in town but, scratch the surface and this is what you will REALLY find: * Repeated reviews about understaffing during the night * Repeated reviews complaining about overworked night aides * Repeated reviews where family members are suspicious of, or flat out accuse staff members of creating positive reviews (this explains why so many reviews go from 5 stars down to one star) How do I know about their problems? First, I am a nurse educator with a master's degree in nursing. Second, I reviewed Colorado's State Licensure discipline made against Gardens on Quail. LICENSURE DISCIPLINE: On 3/19/23, Gardens on Quail's license was disciplined for what the state of Colorado labeled "Physical Abuse". An older woman was found tied to her wheelchair which is against the law. Allow me to explain WHY these sort of events happen: when a facility is understaffed and aides are overworked, they were simply trying to keep their patient safe. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN POWER BACK-UP Other problems: a few weeks ago the facility had a power outage and their emergency power generator did not work. When the heaters stopped working, my dad got cold, so he pressed his call light. It was not working either! While trying to seek help, he went into the dark and uninhabited hallway, fell, and laid there for an undisclosed period of time. IT IS A STATE REQUIREMENT THAT MEDICAL FACILITIES MAINTAIN BACK-UP POWER. I asked three staff members if my dad had his walker or wheelchair with him when he was lying on the floor in the dark hallway and no one seemed to know any details, nor did they get back to me. INSUFFICIENTLY TRAINED NURSE AIDES (called QMAPS) If your loved one resides here, PLEASE, TAKE IT UPON YOURSELF TO CLOSELY SUPERVISE MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION because it is being performed by nurse aides who underwent a short med training program. My dad kept getting repeat eye infections. He then revealed the aide was violating infection control practices by touching the eye dropper to his eye. The nurse aide also did not know how to properly administer eye drops because they mixed two different types of drops, instead of waiting between the different prescriptions. This could potentially make eye drops ineffective.

If I could give The Granville 10 stars, it wouldn't be enough!…read moreI was the sole caregiver for my Grandmother for almost 5 years when it proved to be just too much for me to handle. The reason why I hadn't gotten her into her own "apartment" or facility, is because of what my mind thought an assisted living facility was going to be. I didn't want my Grandmother to be in a place that wasn't well maintained, or where the staff were abusive in any way etc etc. All the horror stories that one hears about pertaining to elder care facilities. Well, The Granville is ANYTHING but! From the second we toured the location right before the pandemic, I was put at ease. The residents seemed happy, the entire place was decorated just beautifully and extremely clean, and the staff was just so nice! It really felt like home! The help and expertise that they provided to me in getting my Grandmother approved was also a Godsend, because all of the paperwork can be tricky for someone not familiar! My Grandmother's apartment was just so lovely too! She was able to decorate it how she wanted, and there is a little kitchenette area with a fridge and microwave so she can have her favorite snacks. She has been there over a year now and I couldn't have asked for a better location to have provided the utmost care during the pandemic. They even took the necessary precautions one week ahead of time before the Government shut everything down. To accommodate all the residents who now were unfortunately unable to leave their rooms, must have been such an undertaking!! But the staff still made my Grandmother and the other residents not feel neglected and forgotten about. Making little crafts and spending a little more time with the residents so they didn't feel so alone during this scary time. They went above and beyond making sure everyone was kept safe and stayed healthy and just did an incredible job and am so grateful to everyone at The Granville. I could go on and on about the staff being just perfect and everything I could have ever hoped for, for my Grandmother. If you have a loved one and you are feeling apprehensive about locating a place where you can rest easy at night knowing they're being cared for properly and with respect, then look no further. My Grandmother absolutely LOVES living at The Granville! She has made friends, still has her independence and adores the staff! I am eternally grateful for finding the Granville and cannot thank Sara, Joe, Kathy, Jamie, Mary and the rest of the entire staff for providing this location and the care that they give to someone that means SO much to me!

My father has been a resident at the Granville for 3 years and it has been an absolutely wonderful…read moreplace for him to live. He was in a couple of other facilities that were below par before we found the Granville. From the moment we walked in, we felt that this was home. Sara, the executive director helped us with the transition paperwork and made it totally painless. The employees really make you feel like they are part of the extended family. Joe, Donna, Alicia, are just a few of the great "family" members that always have a friendly smile. I could go on and on about all of the wonderful things about the Granville. Since dad moved in I have had to move about 60 miles away and I would love to have him closer, but I haven't found any other facility that can match the Granville. For me, the drive is more than worth it to have him live here. The Granville is always clean, the employees are warm and friendly, activities are available, the meals nutritious, meds are accurate and the apartments wonderful. Since dad has lived here they have spent money on capital improvements to keep the facility in top shape and comfortable for their residence. I would and have highly recommended the Granville to anyone that is needing a place to LIVE and add to their extended "family"!

I strongly caution families against placing a loved one at Mountain Vista Memory Care. We had…read morenothing but trouble throughout my dad's time there, but the following are a few of our most serious concerns. During his stay, my dad was given a high dosage of Haldol that left him unable to get out of bed, incontinent, and unable to swallow properly. He lost more than 40 pounds, yet our family was never notified about the severity of his decline. We watched him deteriorate to the point that he appeared comatose and was unable to eat. Our experience with the nursing leadership and director Jason left us with no confidence in their judgment, honesty, or willingness to take responsibility. A memory care facility is entrusted with people who often cannot advocate for themselves. Families should be immediately informed about major weight loss, difficulty swallowing, drastic changes in mobility, and the effects of powerful medications, not left to discover the condition of their loved one after the damage has been done. We also received deeply troubling reports from people inside the facility about how our dad was being treated. I will not identify those individuals publicly, but what they shared reinforced what our family was witnessing firsthand. Instead of working with our family to remove our father from their care, Mountain Vista transferred him to the emergency room by ambulance and within 24 hours had filed paperwork stating that it could no longer meet his care needs and refused to allow him to return. We later learned that staff had reportedly been told ahead of time that he would not be coming back. Based on that sequence of events, the hospital told us it was not a legitimate medical transfer but rather a planned way to remove him from the facility. Based on what happened to my dad, I would never trust this facility with another vulnerable family member. Families should remember that the initial tour is a sales process and may not reflect the communication, accountability, or quality of care they will experience after move-in.

When our family realized my dad needed assisted living, we knew it was going to be one of the…read morehardest transitions of his life. From the beginning, the team at Golden Pond made that process feel much less overwhelming. More recently, as his dementia progressed and he moved into memory care, they approached that transition with the same compassion and thoughtfulness. What has impressed us most is the genuine sense of community. The staff know the residents by name, take the time to build relationships and create an environment that feels welcoming rather than institutional. It's clear they care about the people who live there. The caretaking team has been patient, kind and attentive as my dad's needs have changed. Whenever we've had questions or concerns, they've been responsive and willing to work with us. One thing that has really stood out is their flexibility. As my dad's needs evolved, they didn't treat the move from assisted living to memory care as simply a change of location. They worked with us to find the right approach for him, helping make what could have been a very difficult transition feel seamless. Choosing an assisted living community is never an easy decision, but Golden Pond has given us confidence that my dad is in a place where he's cared for, respected and part of a real community. We're thankful for everything they've done for him and for our family.

This review will be fair but it will also be truthful…read more My dad lived at Nightingale Suites for 14 months. I placed him there because I had the unique opportunity of working next door at Springwood Retirement - independant living. Working next door gave me the ability to check on my dad daily. At first, things were fine. As the months went on, I started to notice the high turnover with caregivers and the QMAPS. I also began to notice that my dad's foot rests for his wheelchair were not being used on a regular basis. My dad became wheelchair bound due to having diabetic neuropathy - he was not able to feel his feet therefore, he needed the foot rests because he was unable to hold his feet up off the ground while being pushed in his chair. The fact that the footrests were not used caused him to drag his feet and his right ankle was repeatedly hit with the front right wheelchair wheel. I found a wound one morning, even though he was being dressed by the staff every day; they either didn't see it or saw it and didn't care and guess what, it became infected. The bad part about that wound was, my dad could not feel it either due to the neuropathy. Also, one morning I noticed his left elbow was extremely swollen and it had a scrape on it. When I asked about the injury, nobody knew what had happened. Additionally, there was one morning I went in to visit and noticed his carpet had a huge stain on it, to the right of his recliner. Upon looking at it further, I noticed that he had deficated on the carpet during a fall the day before; the fall occurred around 3:30pm the day prior and I was in to visit him around 9:00am the morning after the fall so, that mess had sat on the carpet for 18 hours. I ended up cleaning it up before I went to work. I then notified the director about the carpet situation and they had the carpet shampooed. My dad paid a lot of money for his care so I expected things to be better which is the reason for the 2 stars - things could have been better. My dad was also on insulin - 28 units daily, If his blood sugar was 150 or less, he was not to get insulin that day - 150 or higher, he would get his insulin shot. One evening I was visiting my dad, the QMAP came in to test his glucose, it was 150 therefore he should have not recieved a shot that day, he got the shot anyway and by the time I asked what his blood sugar was, he had given himself the shot - he was not himself for 2 days after receiving that shot. When I brought this issue up to managment, I was told, they would counsel the QMAP - the damage had been done at this point. There were also numerous times I found his medication in his recliner or under his recliner - medication management is one of the things that residents pay for, yet it was not being monitored correctly. Let me add, upon any concerns or compliants, the standard reponse is - "we will counsel that staff member" Now the fair part.....He did have a couple of good caretakers, he did enjoy the food and the company of the other residents. My dad was stubborn and would not push his button when he needed to get up to use the restroom but he also had advanced dementia and he was a level 4 which meant he was to be checked on hourly, I do not think that was happening and I say that because, I would be with him for a couple of hours at times and vary rarely would anyone come to check on him. I chose not to move my dad because he was so confused at times and I was worried that a move would cause him to spiral. When choosing assisted living for a parent, its hard. You never know what goes on when you are not there. Which is why I feel obligated to write this review and be as thorough as possible.
