Holly Nursing Care Center sits at 320 North 8th Street in Holly, Colorado, and has served the area for over 30 years, offering skilled nursing, memory care, rehabilitation, and both short-term and long-term stays. The center has private and semi-private rooms with cable TV, internet, and emergency call systems, and you'll find nicely renovated spaces, an in-room dining area, and a small snack store for light meals. Gardens surround the building, and a bird aviary sits where residents can watch the birds, which always brings a bit of cheer, and if you like nature, the landscaped grounds are open for walks. Folks who stay here can join programs like arts and crafts, exercise classes, birthday celebrations, outings to the community, religious services, and live entertainment, and they even welcome family and pet visitors, which brightens spirits.
The care team at Holly Nursing Care Center includes qualified professionals and licensed nurses who give 24-hour health care, helping with bathing, meals, movement, and more, and some nurses give insulin injections, manage pain, provide checkups, help with oxygen, and handle wound care. They also have a clinical psychologist on-hand for residents and families who need counseling support, and the center has a wander guard system that helps monitor residents' safety, which is especially important in their memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia. There's a therapy gym with a full team of therapists for physical, occupational, and speech therapy, plus ongoing rehabilitation programs for things like stroke recovery or hip, knee, or heart conditions after hospital stays. If someone's only coming for a short time, they offer respite care and outpatient therapy, and hospice and comfort care are available for those who need it.
Housekeeping and laundry come once a week, and everyone's rooms get regular cleanings. The activity area and computer lab give residents more quiet time or social time, depending on what they want, and there are programs set up to help people make friends, learn something new, or simply spend their day in good company. People can even use the guest rooms if family comes from out of town. Holly Nursing Care Center allows pets, and they take pride in being LGBTQ-friendly and accessible for all. They use an Eden Alternative® approach to caregiving, which aims to care for the whole person, body, mind, and spirit. The facility's managed by Vivage Senior Living, and the administrator is Amy Pierce. Over the years, it's become known for its community involvement and steady care, focusing on what each person needs, whether for long stays or just a bit of help between hospital and home.
