Inn at Garden Plaza sits in a peaceful part of Colorado Springs, and folks tend to notice the quiet and privacy on the grounds, especially when you look out at those well-kept lawns and see the big porch with rocking chairs and the pretty flowers all around the entrance. The building has three stories, and it offers studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, all age-restricted and made so you don't have to bother about maintenance or yard work, and the spaces come unfurnished so you can bring your own things and make it feel like home. Residents here pick from independent living or assisted living, and there's memory care and even skilled nursing and rehabilitation services connected with Life Care Center of Colorado Springs and The Bridge, so it's got a full range of support if health needs change.
The staff here have a good reputation for being friendly and helpful, and folks always mention them taking time to help with getting dressed, managing medicine, or stepping in when extra care's needed. Pets are allowed, and seeing dogs going for walks or a cat sitting on a window sill adds a bit of life. There's a pool and hot tub indoors, a fitness center, a beauty shop, valet, housekeeping, and someone always tending to the building and gardens. The library is cozy with lots of books and comfortable chairs, and the common areas have fireplaces, pianos, and big windows letting in the light-there are even patio tables and umbrellas out in the courtyard for meals or chats outside. There are elevators for easy access, and wi-fi for folks who want to use a tablet or computer.
Inn at Garden Plaza has an activity calendar that lists social events, water aerobics in the pool, holiday parties, and classes and outings, with transportation arranged for things like shopping, group trips, or getting to medical appointments. People can join devotional services on-site or off-site, and meals are served in a formal dining room with round tables and fresh flowers; chefs prepare entrees and homemade desserts with attention to nutrition and taste. There's a private dining room if family comes to visit, and the staff help organize special events so everyone feels included.
For those looking for more help, assisted living covers the basics like bathing and dressing, plus medication management, and there's memory care designed with routines that help folks with confusion or memory troubles feel safe. On top of that, Inn at Garden Plaza works as a continuing care retirement community (CCRC), meaning folks can stay on the same property as needs change without having to move somewhere else.
Security and health practices are in place, and the Accushield® 5-Star Safety Rating marks advanced sign-in and screening for visitors, which gives some peace of mind. Prospective residents can take a virtual or in-person tour and see floor plans, including the one-bedroom deluxe, and there's a price guide to help families plan, with staff ready to explain veterans benefits or long-term care insurance options.
Inn at Garden Plaza has won awards for resident satisfaction and high standards, and it stands out for devoted service and community involvement. The staff aim to make sure everyone, including pets, feels at home and well cared for, and the daily services cover cleaning, transportation, meals, activities, and some health care, all on a property close to Pikes Peak and places like the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum. The general feeling is one of friendship and calm, where seniors can stay as active and independent as possible for as long as they want.
