What this means for your family
This facility is highly regarded for its physical therapy and clean, modern environment, making it a strong candidate for post-surgical rehab. However, because there are specific reports of medication management errors and slow response times, we strongly recommend that families stay highly involved in the daily care plan and monitor medication administration closely during the first few days of admission.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff was attentive and skilled. The facility is new, well kept and clean. The food offered was a good variety and tasted fresh. PT and OT were tailored to each patient and the equipment was a plus to full recovery.”
“I’ve been to several rehab centers throughout Colorado, and none compare to the level of care and professionalism I’ve experienced here. Patients receive more therapy services here than at any other facility I’ve been to.”
“They failed to administer required medications, they failed to respond to requests for mobility assistance, a number of the staff appear not to have adequate training... food is barely edible.”
