Rio Grande Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center

Rio Grande Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center sits in La Jara, Colorado and offers many levels of care for older adults and those needing rehabilitation, so if someone just had surgery or needs support between the hospital and home, this place helps with that, and folks can choose from studio rooms, and the care ranges from Independent Living and Assisted Living, to Memory Care, Home Care, Adult Day Services, Home Health Care that's Medicare-certified, and even Hospice Care, and though the facility has 60 certified beds, it averages about 55 residents each day, and it's the highest rated community in its city with a community rating of 7.6 out of 10, but the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services gives it a 2-star rating, which is slightly below average, and health inspections and staffing levels come out average or just below, and the nurse turnover rate is 21.3% which means staff does change a bit, and residents get 3.55 nurse hours per day on average, and the place is part of Centennial Colorado Holdco and is connected to the Colorado Health Care Association, aiming for hometown care and trying to work closely with the La Jara community, and healthcare staff offer skilled nursing and help for the very frail who need daily support, and the building creates a safe, clean, and friendly place with programs for cardiac rehab, orthopedic rehab, and memory care, plus two infection-related deficiencies and 26 total deficiencies came up in past inspection reports, so it's not perfect, but the center does keep care steady and accepts Medicaid and Medicare for families that need help with coverage, and there are always chances to ask about jobs, tours, or find out if a room's available if a loved one needs care right away.
