Memory Care in Durango, Colorado | Sunshine Gardens

Possibilities Abound

We understand – an Alzheimer’s or dementia diagnosis has its challenges. Here, we never lose sight of the unique and special individual behind the diagnosis – keeping them safe while offering therapeutic and engaging activities.

embracing Each Day

Your loved one’s day begins with a cheerful greeting from a Sunshine Gardens team member as she arrives to help with the morning routine. She opens the curtains and the sunlight comes streaming in.

Looks like a great day for a little gardening, tending to the flowers in our private, enclosed courtyard.

After lunch is the perfect time to enjoy the warm afternoon breezes while relaxing in a comfy chair, coloring, chatting with friends or even enjoying a little snooze.

Every Wednesday is movie night after dinner, and tonight It’s A Wonderful Life is playing on the “big screen.” A grand finale to another day of living well at Sunshine Gardens.
