Colorow Care Center sits in Olathe, Colorado as an average-sized nursing home and offers skilled nursing care, memory care, hospice, respite care, and different rehab services, and folks who've stayed there say it feels clean and well-kept, with a focus on making people feel part of a real community-there are 44 private rooms and 3 semi-private rooms, plus three covered front porches and some scenic places outside where residents can relax or work in raised vegetable beds if they like, and meals are cooked on-site and are described as both nutritious and flavorful. The staff keep care personal, always aiming to support independence, with a secure memory care unit and special services for those living with dementia, and someone's available at all hours for residents who need ongoing help, whether it's winding through the day or managing long-term medical needs. The facility is managed by Vivage Senior Living, belongs to the Eden Alternative® Registered Communities, and offers lots of different kinds of therapy from speech to cardiac to pain management-all tracked by trained medical staff and supported by therapy aides, registered nurses, LPNs, CNAs, dietitians, pharmacists, and more. Residents can join social gatherings or participate in activities that encourage both relaxation and interaction, always at their own pace.
The center accepts Medicare and Medicaid but isn't a Continuing Care Retirement Community, and there's a resident council to give feedback, though there's no family council. The place has a 2-star nursing home rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and it was flagged for abuse during the past year, holding an overall facility grade of D, but it did come out with a B- on its last inspection with only one deficiency noted. The average community rating is 8.8 out of 10, so some people find value here. It provides care in both a Skilled Nursing Facility and a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic, but currently isn't accepting new residents. The environment aims for safety and comfort, and staff speak English, with possible support in other languages, always trying to match care to what each person needs day to day. Transportation and medical transport are part of the services, and you'll see that the facility provides long-term and short-term care, rehab, memory care for safety and quality of life, and supports residents who want to be as independent as they can in a home-like setting.
