Westwood Post Acute sits on West Arkansas Avenue in Denver and is known for offering many kinds of care all in one place, which means people can get independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, home care, and even hospice care if they need it, and the building has a big, modern rehab gym where licensed staff do physical, occupational, and speech therapy every day of the week, so folks recovering from surgery, illness, or injury can work on getting stronger before going home or moving to another setting. The team includes nurses and care staff who are there all day and all night, always keeping an eye out for resident health, and they follow strong infection control rules, with an infection prevention nurse who trains everyone on how to use personal protective equipment, which matters even more when dealing with things like COVID-19, and that team is used to caring for people who need specialized or high-acuity care. They also have healthcare providers on staff and keep operations running smoothly, working with groups like PACS Services, and they share information on all the types of care on their website, which is handy if you want to look up general details.
Residents can join in on daily activities-there's a calendar posted in each room-so there are things to do every day for all kinds of interests, plus spacious courtyards and common areas where families can visit or relax, and staff make a point to encourage people to decorate their rooms with things from home like blankets and family pictures. The dining program covers different diets and is reviewed by a Registered Dietician, and if residents need medicine, the staff handles ordering and safe storage, so no one needs to bring their own unless they're told to, and families have said good things about the service and how well staff can talk with people in different languages. Westwood Post Acute accepts many types of payment-private pay, Medicare, Medicaid, big insurance plans, and various HMOs-so it works for a lot of families looking for short-term rehab, long-term care, memory services, or just a place to live with help available. The care here centers on what each person needs, with nurses and care managers making safety, well-being, and comfort the first goals, and folks can reach out with questions or for help with getting admitted whenever they need support.
