    Attentive dementia care clean friendly

    I'm grateful for the attentive, professional and loving staff here - they provided personalized, dementia-aware care in a very clean, friendly, activity-filled environment with good food and even pet visits that helped my loved one feel at home. A few people mentioned management concerns, so I'd recommend visiting in person, but overall I've been very pleased with the care.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in the reviews is strongly positive about the frontline staff, daily care, cleanliness, and social life at Trinidad Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center, but there are a small number of very negative reviews focused on management and care concerns that create a mixed perception. The majority of comments praise the people who work directly with residents—nurses, therapy staff, and activity staff—describing them as caring, loving, attentive, professional, and committed. Multiple reviewers used language such as “treats me like royalty,” “makes me feel at home,” and “brings smiles and support,” indicating high emotional value placed on staff-resident relationships. Several named staff (Amanda, Monica, Angelique) received individual recognition, and reports of near one-on-one attention and personalized care point to a strong staffing culture on the floor.

    Care quality emerges as a major positive theme. Reviewers mention effective nursing and therapy, help regaining strength, supportive care for specific conditions (Parkinson’s), and “excellent dementia care.” These comments suggest clinical competence in both short-term rehabilitation and long-term memory care. The care team is also described as doing little extras—bringing coffee, installing a waterproof recliner cover, and volunteering time for activities—evidence of staff going above and beyond to meet resident needs and preferences.

    Facility and cleanliness are consistently praised. Multiple summaries state the building is very clean and well-kept, and reviewers note a pleasant physical environment with beautiful decorations during holidays. The center is described as feeling “like a family,” and many visitors comment on friendly residents and a social atmosphere where residents make friends. Activities and events are highlighted as strengths: trivia, hot chocolate, special evenings for residents and families, and family-inclusive events like Thanksgiving dinner are cited as examples of meaningful programming that engages both residents and their loved ones.

    Dining and special events receive positive mentions, with several reviewers calling out delicious meals and excellent planning around holiday dinners. The presence of family-friendly policies—such as allowing family pets to visit—and the organization of events that include residents’ families reinforce the perception of a community-oriented facility.

    However, a notable minority of reviews express strong negative opinions about management and, in a few cases, care quality. Phrases like “horrible management,” “awful management,” “does not know how to run a business,” “worst place,” and “don’t put your loved ones there” indicate severe dissatisfaction from some reviewers. These criticisms stand in sharp contrast to the many positive staff-focused comments and suggest either isolated but serious incidents or inconsistency in leadership and administrative practices. The presence of both glowing endorsements and harsh condemnations points to variability in experience—most commonly positive at the direct-care level but with occasional or perceived systemic issues that anger some family members or former residents.

    In summary, the dominant narrative from these reviews is that Trinidad Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center delivers compassionate, personalized frontline care in a clean, socially active environment with good food and strong therapeutic support—especially for dementia and diagnoses like Parkinson’s. The facility’s staff receive frequent praise for professionalism, warmth, and going beyond basic duties. The primary area of concern is management and business operations, as reflected by a minority of very negative reviews that raise red flags about leadership or inconsistent care. Prospective residents and families should weigh the strong, recurring positive reports about staff and daily life against the serious negative reports about management; if possible, ask the facility direct questions about any administrative changes, complaint resolution processes, and recent quality measures, and visit multiple times (including during events and mealtimes) to get a sense of consistency before making placement decisions.

    About Trinidad Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center

    Trinidad Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center sits in Trinidad, Colorado, and you can see the Sangre de Cristo Mountains from some windows, which gives a bit of comfort for the people staying there, so it's nice for looking out during the days. This facility operates under the management of Refoel Gottlieb since September 2022, with direct ownership by Centennial Colorado Holdco LLC, and affiliations that include several indirect owners and the Centennial Colorado Holdco group, and the administrator on site is named Stacie Currie. Trinidad Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center is a for-profit skilled nursing facility and is also part of CHCA District VI, and it provides a lot of different care options, maybe more than you see in some other places, like long-term care or skilled nursing for people who really can't get by without daily help, short-term rehabilitation for folks coming out of a hospital, and different levels of assisted living, independent living, adult day services, memory care for dementia, hospice care, and both non-medical home care and Medicare-certified home health care for those who need help but want to stay at home.

    The center has amenities set up for residents who need long-term care, so it's got certified beds and daily capacity for the folks living there, and they do try to create a warm and welcoming environment even though it's a medical place. Staff includes skilled nursing staff, and there are all sorts of therapy programs using modern technology for recovery, especially in memory care, cardiac rehabilitation, and orthopedic care, and the idea is always to help residents recover and go back home if they can. Dietary services, nursing care, and infection control measures are part of the routine, and they say they're focused on making a difference for their residents, wanting to treat everyone like they're part of a family, which is something people like to hear.

    However, the Trinidad Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center doesn't have high ratings. Based on the most recent inspection on June 5, 2024, they've been rated much below average overall, and that's for overall quality, health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. The center had 9 new deficiencies found during its June 2024 inspection, and altogether it's got 37 deficiencies, including one related to infection control, which means there have been problems with protecting residents from the spread of infections. Other recent deficiencies include failing to protect people from abuse and neglect, not following nutrition and dietary guidelines for food preparation and storage, and not observing nurse aide job performance or providing regular training, which didn't cause actual harm but created a potential for more than minimal harm to several residents. Reports document these issues, and the center is currently looking for more skilled staff to help care for residents and improve their services.

    People come here for healthcare and rehabilitation, and the center wants to be a place where people can recover and feel at home, but it's important to know about the low inspection ratings and the range of deficiencies that were found. The facility does have special therapy and care services, and it covers lots of different needs, including those for people who are very frail or need more support as they get older.
