    About University Heights

    University Heights Care Center sits at 656 Dillon Way in Aurora, Colorado, and you'll find it's a skilled nursing and rehabilitation community managed by Vivage Senior Living, with Matt Nielsen as the administrator, and it really covers a lot when it comes to care, whether someone's looking for short-term rehab after a hospital stay, long-term nursing, memory care options for Alzheimer's disease or dementia, or even home care, hospice, and support referrals, since they work to help people settle in no matter what their needs are, and there's a range of living options like Adult Care Home, Assisted Living, and Independent Living, though the place focuses on skilled nursing and intermediate care for people who need a lot of nursing help and support. People here can get physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, and they've made sure to have some unique programs, such as feeding and swallowing therapy, and family caregivers can take part in the therapy sessions or get education about care, which makes a difference day to day, and if someone likes activities, there are exercise programs, arts and crafts, music, animal walks, obstacle courses, and therapy swings, so residents don't feel left out, and people with chronic diseases get specialized management programs. They also pay attention to behavioral health, and there's a secure environment with caring, experienced staff, which matters a lot for those in memory care units, though there's also a memory care section that's non-secure for those who need less supervision. Families who need support during tough times can turn to the family support group focused on dementia caregiver needs, and University Heights is a host site for the Alzheimer's Association program called Memories in the Making, which uses art to help people living with memory loss. The therapies can be delivered in person, at home, or virtually, and it's nice that they even have virtual occupational therapy and at-home physical therapy services, along with therapy programs made for children, such as those with autism or speech delays, and nutritionist support is available. People who come for therapy can expect evaluations, a care plan, and activities designed to be both helpful and enjoyable, especially for kids, so the focus stays on health and happiness. University Heights is close to most hospitals, shopping centers, and restaurants in Aurora, so it's easy for families to visit or residents to take a short trip if needed. The staff focuses on individualized, person-centered care, whether it's for someone needing a short stay for recovery, respite care, complex chronic disease management, or extended care, so each person gets a plan that's right for them. The place has programs aimed at keeping people as healthy as possible, happy, and as independent as they can be, and although there's a lot packed into the services and activities, the atmosphere still feels focused on the well-being and healing of each resident, with a clinical team and on-site therapists making sure the transition back home or to a different care level goes as smoothly as possible.
