About Gardens Care Senior Living - Saddle Rock (SD)

from Oasis Senior Advisors

Gardens Care Senior Living – Saddle Rock delivers both Residential Care Home support and dedicated Memory Care to older adults and to residents younger than 60 who need the same level of assistance. The community is equipped to manage complex health profiles, including residents who wander day or night, present elopement risks, demonstrate combative or other behavioral issues, stay up all night, or require wound care. Clinical oversight accommodates oxygen therapy, specialized diets, and a full range of diabetic management—oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale insulin. Staff are trained to support advanced dementia and other progressive cognitive conditions, helping families keep loved ones safe while maintaining consistent routines.

Nursing coverage at Saddle Rock includes an RN or LPN on staff, a nurse on call around the clock, and an awake night shift. Safety measures extend to background-checked employees, secured and alarmed doors, WanderGuard technology, fenced outdoor areas, pull cords, and PERS devices that alert staff immediately. Residents have on-site access to podiatry and dental care, and the community accepts those with psychiatric diagnoses. Direct personal care includes full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from standby support to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers, and mobility needs are met whether a resident uses a walker or wheelchair. An activity director coordinates daily programming aimed at both cognitive engagement and physical wellness.

Private and semi-private suites are available, some with their own bathrooms, independent climate controls, cable, and the option to personalize wall colors and décor. Basic furnishings are provided, and housekeeping keeps rooms orderly. Because floor plans vary, not every accommodation offers every listed feature, so a tour is recommended to confirm specific room details.

Meals follow a set menu that can be modified for clinical or personal preferences. The kitchen prepares mechanical-chopped, puréed, and thickened-liquid diets as ordered, and snacks are available between meals to support stable nutrition and blood-sugar control. Staff offer full assistance with eating when needed, ensuring residents with tremors, vision loss, or late-stage dementia still receive balanced nutrition.

Amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, outside smoking areas, and pet-friendly policies. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. The property features a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, and communal gardens, along with on-site religious services and dedicated memory-care day programming. A shuttle is available for medical appointments, and public transportation options are nearby for additional convenience.

#1 in Aurora, CO

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered praise for its specialized care, particularly in memory care, with positive remarks on its low resident population, single-level layout, and dedicated facilities, including courtyards, a game room, and a chapel, enhancing the living experience. The staff's remarkable care and patience were frequently highlighted, providing residents with a supportive and friendly environment. Many reviewers spoke highly of the variety of daily activities available, tailored nutritional plans, and the community's efforts to engage residents in social and physical activities, contributing to a stimulating and inclusive atmosphere.

However, some concerns were raised, particularly regarding recent staff turnover, including key positions like the Executive Director and Head Nurse, which affected the consistency of care and activities. The loss of the Executive Director was specifically noted as having a significant impact on the service quality. There were also issues with activities not being conducted as advertised, and some communication problems were mentioned, particularly in adjusting to new leadership. Despite these challenges, the community's efforts to address staffing concerns and improve communication were acknowledged, along with their commitment to the well-being and safety of the residents.
