Located in neighboring Lauderhill, we're just a short drive from both cities and offer a full spectrum of assisted living and memory care services for older adults and their families.

Senior Care Options in the Sunrise-Tamarac Area
Sunrise and Tamarac are home to a number of senior care options, ranging from independent living communities to skilled nursing facilities. For many families, assisted living strikes the ideal balance — providing personal care support and safety while preserving residents' independence and quality of life.
Colonial Gardens Residences in Lauderhill is located just east of Sunrise (accessible via NW 55th Street and Oakland Park Boulevard) and south of Tamarac (via Commercial Boulevard). Most residents from both cities arrive in 10 to 15 minutes, making daily or weekly family visits practical and easy.
Compared to other assisted living options in the Sunrise-Tamarac area, Colonial Gardens offers a distinct advantage: all-inclusive pricing that bundles nursing care, meals, medication management, housekeeping, laundry, activities, and utilities into a single transparent monthly rate — no hidden fees or unexpected add-ons.
Why Families from Sunrise and Tamarac Choose Colonial Gardens
Families from both communities consistently point to the same reasons when explaining their choice of Colonial Gardens:
Genuine, Personalized Care
Colonial Gardens is not a large corporate chain. It's a 128-bed community where staff know every resident by name, know their history, and take the time to understand what makes each individual feel at home. That personal touch is reflected in our reviews and in the peace of mind families describe after their loved ones move in.
24/7 Licensed Nursing
Our nursing staff is licensed and on-site around the clock — not on-call. That means when a resident needs assistance at 3 a.m., a trained professional responds immediately. This level of coverage provides reassurance that goes beyond what many competing facilities offer.
Proximity to Family
Staying close to family matters enormously for residents and for the families who love them. Colonial Gardens' location in Lauderhill — adjacent to both Sunrise and Tamarac — means your loved one remains part of the community where their family lives. That proximity makes regular visits easier and helps residents maintain important social connections.
