Life Care Center of Evergreen sits on Bergen Peak Drive in Evergreen, Colorado, and the place stays open all day and night, always ready to help folks who need skilled nursing or long-term care, so you'll find nurses and other staff on duty around the clock. The care team, which includes on-site doctors, nurses, therapists, social services, nutrition staff, and activities people, all work together and keep families involved in planning care, and you've got staff members like Rebecca Heath and Sandie Michals who help with admissions and getting settled in. The building's set up for both short-term stays and longer care-say, if someone's getting over surgery or an illness, or if someone needs to stay long term because they can't manage without help anymore-and the center has 118 beds for skilled nursing.
The place puts a lot of focus on rehabilitation, offering physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, whether you're staying overnight or just coming in for outpatient rehab, so folks recovering from surgery or illness often work with the in-house therapy team to get stronger and return home if possible. The staff creates personalized care plans for each resident, and the facility serves people over 55 and people living with physical or intellectual disabilities, memory conditions, tough behaviors, mental health struggles, deafness, and other medical needs, so there's support for a pretty wide range of situations. Help's available for daily tasks like bathing and eating, and the center offers programs for respite and hospice care too.
Life Care Center of Evergreen tries to treat everyone with dignity and respect, with the aim to give residents a good quality of life no matter their medical needs, and that shows in their mission statement and in the way staff checks in on residents and their families about care decisions. Visitors can take a tour, and there's an option to schedule it ahead of time. Folks can see photos and videos of the facility online, get updates through their Facebook page, and learn about activities, meals, and therapies from the staff or by looking at their social media and blog. U.S. News & World Report 2025 named the place as one of the Best Nursing Homes, and sometimes that helps people feel more comfortable about choosing it for themselves or a loved one. The facility's managed by Life Care Centers of America, and you'll also find ways to give feedback or ask questions through their online contact form. The center lists career opportunities for those interested in working in senior care, and keeps a gallery and a blog that highlights events and news around the facility.
