The Gardens Care Homes - Cherry Knolls

Families comparing a small residential home to a large senior living campus usually want to know one thing first: how much personal attention will a resident actually get day to day? At The Gardens Care Homes - Cherry Knolls, the answer starts with scale. This Centennial home is built for 16 residents, and caregivers work with that same small group rather than shifting between wings full of dozens of people.

Care here covers assisted living and nothing beyond it; independent living and skilled nursing are not part of what this address provides, so families can plan around that scope from the start. That small footprint tends to suit residents who do best with a high staff-to-resident ratio and a routine that doesn't change much from one week to the next. Staff assist with bathing, dressing, medication schedules, and getting around safely, working from a plan tailored to each person rather than a single routine applied to the whole house.

When a resident needs more support down the road, the same familiar caregivers step up their involvement instead of handing that resident off to a different unit. Life inside Cherry Knolls runs on a household rhythm: residents share meals at one table, and staff stay present through the waking hours rather than working shifts geared toward a much larger census. With only 16 residents, the activity calendar tracks the people actually living there instead of running from a preset master schedule.

Because the caregiving team stays consistent, residents see familiar faces regularly, and that familiarity turns into a routine families can count on. The home itself sits on Noble Place in Centennial's Piney Creek neighborhood. It's a single-story house, not a multi-hallway building, and the shared spaces stay compact - a common kitchen and dining table where residents and staff naturally cross paths through the day.

Piney Creek puts Cherry Knolls close to the shops along Arapahoe Road and the retail stretch on University Boulevard, both convenient for family members pairing a visit with errands. Willow Spring Open Space is nearby for anyone wanting a quiet walk, and Littleton Adventist Hospital is close enough to reach quickly if hospital-level care is ever needed. The Gardens Care Homes runs Cherry Knolls as one of several residential-scale properties, each built around a smaller resident count and a caregiving team meant to stay steady over time.

Assisted living here starts near $5,500 a month, billed entirely as private pay - this address does not accept Medicaid. Pets are not permitted on-site, worth noting early for any family with an animal in the picture.
