The Gardens at St. Elizabeth in Denver is organized as a continuing care retirement community, which lets residents remain on the same campus as their healthcare needs evolve. The community offers a Mental Wellness Program that provides on-site assessment, counseling, and medication management, giving residents direct access to behavioral-health support without leaving the property. Staff coordinate with outside physicians, monitor changes in condition, and adjust care plans so that physical and mental health services remain aligned with each resident’s current status.

Additional care features include an initial health assessment followed by an individualized service plan detailing assistance with bathing, dressing, medication reminders, and scheduled wellness checks. Licensed nurses are on duty 24 hours a day, and caregivers document vital signs and functional abilities at set intervals. Transportation to external medical appointments is arranged by the community, and regular progress reports keep families informed about any change in a resident’s care level.

Apartments and suites come in several floor plans, and not every residence has the same features. Select units include kitchenettes, cable service, Wi-Fi, and private phone lines, while others emphasize a simpler layout for residents who prefer minimal upkeep. Many residences provide easy access to landscaped outdoor areas, and all units include basic safety measures such as emergency call systems. A library and computer lounge are available elsewhere on the campus for residents who want internet access, reading material, or a quiet place to work.

Meals are prepared by the culinary team three times a day and served restaurant-style in the main dining room. Menus are reviewed by a dietitian and can be adapted for low-sodium, diabetic, or other physician-ordered diets. Residents who wish to eat in private can request meal delivery to their apartments, and a lighter fare station is open between meal times for snacks and beverages.

Residents have access to an activity center dedicated to daily programming such as exercise classes, craft sessions, and discussion groups. The space is set up for both scheduled events and informal socializing, and staff adjust activities to match varying mobility and cognitive levels so residents can participate comfortably.
