Nursing Homes provide twenty-four hour residential skilled nursing care, coupled with personal hygiene, activities programs and social work. Many now offer specific programs for Alzheimer and Hospice patients. In addition, most Nursing Homes have a Rehabilitation Unit (or Medicare Unit) where individuals discharged from the hospital but unable to return home safely, may spend time in therapy, learning to walk or other strengthening activities. Some facilities also have Sub-Acute Units for individuals who are in need of specialized care such as recovery after surgery. Sub-Acute Units specialize in providing care to individuals who have traditionally been treated in hospitals.
Costs and services for Nursing Homes in Colorado are available for the following locations.
