A family member of ours living in Denver with parkinson's and anxiety who was living at home alone, was taken here for rehabilitation when she had fallen. During her time in Gardens on Quail's nursing home she was able to recover, but decided to stay. She, as well as our family, decided that it was a safer and better lifestyle to continue living under the care of Gardens on Quail's nurses. Since moving in, her anxiety has been much less severe, and she has made many new friends. Not to mention that it is a beautiful place to call home. Many of our family members are living in Denver, so it makes for an easy drive being located just outside the city in Arvada. Thank you Gardens on Quail for superb service, we appreciate it!

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.

My mother is a long term resident in the Dementia Wing at Boulder Canyon…read more She has received more attention, patience and care than I imagined possible! My mother and I are truly blessed to have found this facility! I can sing the praises of their Life Engagement Coordinator, Crystal Caprio! She is the reason that I trust that the facility always has my mother's best interest at heart. Upon my unannounced visits, I have found her to be a ray of sunshine in a difficult situation. The staff on the wing is wonderful and notifies me of any situations that they want me to know about, even if she gets a bruise from bumping her arm! They are patient, caring and kind. Crystal regularly makes sure that I am informed of my mothers health, care, changes, decisions, attitude, activities, diet issues and mood! The Business Office, for the last few years has been a nightmare to work with. However, there is a new Business Office Manager and I have real hope that the office will improve it's communication.

The administrator is a "turn around administrator" who evidently has been making positive changes. Don't be afraid to check it out like I was just based on yelp reviews. See in person. As I briefly looked at survey reports I would say that the nursing dept. needs to continue to make some improvements, and in my 50 years working in health care it can be done with good leadership and training. Hopefully the trend will be continued improveme nts!

Each required different levels of care with Mom going to Generations and Dad landing in Assisted Living. Both sides were exactly what they each needed and the loving care of the employees throughout their stays exceeded all expectations! We feel so Blessed! The journey into the pandemic and the steps that were taken with each governmental step/mis-step was incredible! They adapted and accommodated every issue and protected our folks! The activities, events and dining was spectacular! Mom loved the activities more than Dad and took part in them most every day. Dad was more selective, picking the ones he knew he'd enjoy and relaxing to his movies and sports when he felt like it. We couldn't have found a better place to take care of them! 5 Stars isn't high enough! We'll miss alot of names but so many went the extra effort to help them. Thank you!

The employees in admissions at this place acted like the genuinely cared and wanted to help! I went to take a tour and spoke with a few employees who all gave me some advice to get my dad out quicker from the other place. Needless to say I was stressed and wanted to get my dad moved and so I followed the advice. Well it was horrible advice that made my dad lose his insurance approval for any place! I left messages, emails for both the ladies that gave me advice and also copied upper management into the emails to ask for additional advice since I listened to them. I guess I should not be surprised they went radio silent and I haven't heard back from anyone. I honestly would have been ok with just an apology!!!!!

Four…read moreyears is a long time for a loved one to be away from home, but since he can't be at home, I am grateful that he is at Skylake. Everyone, from the administrative staff to the nurses, cnas, his social worker, physical therapy, and maintenance staff, show up every day and provide superior care for him. I appreciate that the medical staff are attuned to his needs, scheduling the healthcare appointments he requires and following through with his aftercare. They communicate frequently with me and keep me in the loop about his care. Equally as important is the wonderful atmosphere created by the warmth and genuine concern of the staff for each resident. In many ways some of them have begun to feel like family to us. We all hear terrible stories about nursing homes, but after four years I can say unequivocally that Skylake Post Acute is an excellent nursing facility. Doing this kind of work isn't easy - I believe it's a calling. And they do it very well.
