5/5
I count myself very fortunate to live at Boulder Gardens Assisted Living Center. I am so happy here. The setting is beautiful. Boulders on one side, and gardens and fish ponds on the other. Occasionally we see mule deer, coyotes, and squirrels on the boulders.
The staff are wonderful, friendly and efficient, one can see they really enjoy their work and support each other. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. The caregivers do just that and do it very well. The maintenance staff are extra helpful. One can request anything and they will do it, fix it, buy it or make it. The kitchen staff are kind, helpful, very patient, and most important are good cooks. The day's menus are posted and there are always alternatives. If you wish to eat in your room they will give you your meal to go. Snacks are available. Vending machines satisfy your candy craving's. The cooks are baking experts and there is always cake or fruit.
Our activities director keeps us busy if we wish. The activities are many and varied, one can always find something that appeals. We are able to make suggestions for an activity. There are outings including shopping and others if you chose to go.
The accommodations are very livable. In every room each person, usually two per room, has a fridge, a microwave, vanity and ample cupboards and drawers. Bathrooms in every room are well equipped. Housekeeping staff are wonderful. Everything is clean and fresh, and washing is done weekly.
Of course not everyone is happy all the time. People grouse about everything. Food, activities, and the staff, but mostly, from what I see about their roommate.
But as Winston Churchill once said "you can please all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you cannot please all of the people all of the time."
