Lakewood Post Acute and Rehabilitation

My wife had a heart attack and has a multiplicity of other health problems. She was released from the hospital 10/29 and is still there. She loves it and I'm quite impressed also. The staff is wonderful, so friendly, warm, efficient and knowledgeable . She's improving and is stronger and able to do more than before her heart attack. The facility is quite beautiful and the rooms are large and furnished like a hotel. She feels like the staff is cheering her on for a successful recovery.

I visited a friend there. The social worker Sarah came in and told my friend about PT and OT and brought her hand lotion. Another girl named Erica, CNA ? came in and explained the menu and how she would help position the dinner tray for my friend when she delivered the meal. Kindly helpers. Very impressed 👏

I have had to deal with a lot of medical problems this year. This last one involved a trip to the hospital by ambulance, 5 days in ICU, 5 days in a regular room, and 10 days in rehab. The hospital had given me a list of suggested facilities. I knew there was one on West Eastman in Lakewood, but did not know the name. After some searching, we found Lakewood Post Acute and Rehabilitation. I had visited there about 13 years ago. When I arrived, I was so impressed with the new look. It had been remodeled and was very clean. I had a very nice room. Going from the hospital to rehab was an adjustment. It did not take me long to realize how kind and friendly all of the people who work there are. My first night there, dinner was waiting for me. The next day there was a long stream of staff members coming into my room to introduce themselves and each one took the time to get to know me, my likes, dislikes, and needs. During my 10 days there I found everyone to be as kind and friendly as on my first day there. When I called for help, they were very quick to respond. For years I have complained about pain in my left shoulder and arm. One of their medical staff told me she could give me a steroid shot in the shoulder, They needed x-rays first to be sure I qualify. I got the shot and for the first time in years I am gaining movement in my arm. As many times as I have been in the ER and hospital this year and warned everyone not to touch my arm, they talked about x-rays, but Lakewood Post Acute was the first ones to actually do it. Much to my surprise, the x-rays were done on the following day. Penny, the activities director, does a wonderful job planning activities. My favorite one was when they had a singer come who sang songs through the decades beginning in the 1940's. The food was very good there. You certainly are not going to go hungry there. The portions are very generous. They make sure patients shower three times a week. After 10 days in the hospital with no shower, it was a welcome change. I had OT and PT on a daily basis. All of the people who did therapy with me were wonderful. It was not easy, but I knew it was for my own good. It really helped my ger my strength back after being in bed for so long. Today I can say that I feel better than I have felt all year. It is good to be home, but I miss all of the employees, especially the CNAs who work so hard to meet the patient's needs at Lakewood Post Acute.

This place knowingly took in my grandfather without the facilities to take care of him. Everyday they would call the fire department to transfer him to dialysis. The nurses were constantly on the computer doing their home work while patients were in pain. There would be 4 nurses at the station just standing there talking with a terrible attitude. There was only ONE nurse that gave a damn. my grandfather developed pneumonia here because no one cared about the position he was when he was eating and got food stuck in his lungs. this place literally KILLED my grandfather. And I will forever carry the trauma of watching him decline and calling me for help and not being able to do anything. We would have sued you if we weren’t in the throes of grief and taking care of my grandma. If you value your loved ones life DO NOT send them here. They change the name every few years to try and save face but their could not be a worse facility. Why did you take in my grandfather from the hospital knowing you didn’t have the facilities to care for him? Just wanted his insurance money EDIT: I would just like to point out the reply from the owner is exactly the point I’m trying to make. They knowingly took my grandfather from the hospital knowing he needed dialysis THATS THE WHOLE REASON HE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL IN THE FIRST PLACE. So then he was transferred to your facility which does not offer Dialysis so he was forced to have an ambulance come take him back and forth from the Dialysis center across the street on the same campus. He did not have pneumonia when he entered and he left your facility with it which ultimately took his life. Shame on you all.

This Facility is the Best Rehabilitation Center in Lakewood and State of Colorado. Beautiful surroundings and the Best Staff I have ever meet. The day I checked in, every Manager and Director came in and introduced themselves. The entire Physical Therapy department were great and knowledgeable of their Fields. Meals were fantastic but they keep missing my Milk. Administration was knowledgeable of their Duties and worked as a team. My Case Manager was the Best. I will miss this Fantastic Facility.
