Progressive Care Center is a nursing home right next to St. Thomas More Hospital in Cañon City, Colorado, and people around here know it for its full range of services for seniors who need different kinds of help, whether that's incontinence care, short-term rehab, long-term skilled nursing, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, or care at the end of life. The center's connected with Centura Health and takes part in community programs for health equity, making sure all residents get fair treatment and support, and the staff work hard to treat everyone with kindness and respect, taking time to create personal care plans for each person instead of just using a one-size-fits-all approach. Residents get support from a highly trained medical team and have access to activities that help keep them active and involved, with daily life enrichment and therapy programs that go beyond basic care to try and boost everyone's mood, abilities, and independence as much as possible.
The place itself has secure outdoor spaces with trees, walking paths, and places to sit, and inside there are comfortable living areas meant to feel homey and welcoming, not clinical. Visiting is allowed 24 hours a day, though there are health protocols in place, and staff keep up with vaccinations to keep residents safe. The community encourages family members to help plan care, and caregivers get ongoing training so they know the best ways to help, especially for residents with special needs, and there's a virtual tour on their website to show what things look like. Along with regular care, there are respite options to give family members who provide care a break when they need it. The center's non-profit operation focuses on equity and access, offering resources and education for underserved groups and aiming to remove any health barriers that might stop people from getting what they need. It's well recognized in the field, has earned awards and certifications, and is managed by Frontline Management with a focus on kindness, community, and making sure residents feel valued. Whether someone needs just a little help with things now and then, or around-the-clock medical supervision, Progressive Care Center aims to cover those needs, and the variety of care levels means that both independent adults aged 55+ and folks needing more consistent skilled nursing can find supportive housing or care here, along with specialized help for those living with memory loss.
