Holly Heights Nursing Care Center sits along the High Line Canal Trail in South Denver at 6000 E Iliff Ave, Denver, CO 80222, and has 133 certified beds for nursing home residents, and what you see is a facility that offers both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care, and you can count on skilled nursing care 24 hours a day in private or semi-private rooms-plus they have a spacious entertainment room, a therapy gym, a nurses' station, a front desk, and a place for families to come and visit, and there's always something going on with their monthly activities designed to help people stay active and participate, though reports show there have been some inspection problems, with 12 deficiencies over the past periods, including two for not always providing daily living assistance and specific codes F0677 and F0679 indicating problems with care and activities for residents, so anyone looking will want to think about that part too and ask questions.
The center has experienced and caring staff, managed by Lynn Stockwell since January 2017, and the owners are Bernhard Benet, Mindy Carson, Rasie Levi, Dov Pollack, Joshua Pollack, and Marvin Pollack, with the main share held by Bernhard Benet, and you see a nurse staffing level of 3.21 hours per resident each day-that's a bit less than the state average of 3.8 hours, so it's something to keep noticed if you're looking for more hands-on care. Residents get services like social work, nutritious meals, help with laundry and housekeeping, insurance resources, expert guidance, and a wide range of caregiving support, plus there's physical, occupational, and speech therapy right there on-site, and special care for dementia and Alzheimer's-memory care, palliative care, respite care, and hospice. They focus on helping residents restore health and wellbeing, and you can tell they try to make folks feel at home during the transition, with a homey, secure setting and beautiful grounds for walking and relaxing.
Meals are home-cooked and menus are nutritious and satisfying, while residents have private or semi-private well-appointed rooms, comfortable spaces, and supportive staff that get to know them and help provide a welcoming stay. The therapy team uses both current equipment and hands-on approaches, and the activity team keeps a lot planned to help residents stay engaged-they do both short-term rehab and long-term support. The facility is open 24 hours a day and keeps things running with in-house therapy and skilled nursing, working under the supervision of in-house physicians. Holly Heights Nursing Care Center is part of the Colorado Health Care Association District I, has a 3.4-star rating from 32 reviews, and has landscaped grounds along with programs for social services, rehabilitation, and long-term living, though the inspection reports show where improvements could be made in daily care and activity provision, so families may want to read those reports when they consider the place.
