Our read on Gardens, The
Gardens, The runs 45 beds in Colorado Springs under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a 5/5 health inspection rating, just three deficiencies on file with none reaching harm or jeopardy level, and a survey as recent as December 2025. The catch is staffing. At 3.04 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 21% under the national average, weekends run roughly 13% lighter than weekdays, and annual turnover hits 56.1% against a national 45.8%. One abuse-related deficiency also appears on the record. Read those two sides together: the care processes look well-managed when inspectors show up, but the people delivering that care turn over fast and thin out on weekends.
