Assisted Living in Durango, Colorado | Sunshine Gardens

Together At
Sunshine Gardens

We appreciate gumption, and we cherish our residents’ self-reliant spirit. We also understand that aging can bring new challenges.

Our Assisted Living Community in Durango enables you to be your best, by stepping in with just the right support, just when you need it.

A Day In Thesun

Your day begins with a cheerful greeting as a Sunshine Gardens team member arrives to help with your morning routine. She opens the curtains and the sunlight comes streaming in.

Looks like a great day for a stroll on our walking trail — then there’s that morning pottery class you’ve been looking forward to. Afternoons are perfect for relaxing on the covered porch in a comfy chair, chatting with friends or even enjoying a little snooze.

Any night could be movie night after dinner, and tonight Casablanca is playing on the “big screen.” A grand finale to another day of living well at Sunshine Gardens.

Among Friends

Enjoy a convivial afternoon of board games or cards in a sunny, inviting common area. Take a dance class. Explore arts and crafts. Tag along on a trip into town for shopping or to see a show.
