University Park Care Center sits at 945 Desert Flower Blvd., over in Pueblo, and folks know it's a place where people get cared for whether they're living there long-term, staying for a rehab, or recovering after surgery, and the way it's set up, you can find everything from independent living apartments with studios and two-bedrooms to semi-private or private rooms for nursing care. The staff includes nurses, therapists, doctors, and activity folks, and they come together to make care plans that fit each person, whether you need some help with bathing and grooming each day, memory care for Alzheimer's, or short-term rehab with modern equipment like the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill that really helps people get back on their feet. This facility handles both young folks under 65 with disabilities and older residents over 65 who have a doctor's orders and that PASAR approval, and because insurance can get tricky, families like that they take most kinds, including Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. Everything is wheelchair accessible, including restrooms and disabled parking, so folks who get around differently aren't left out, and safety features like a sprinkler system and specific handicap design make sure everyone's comfortable and secure throughout the day and night. The nursing staff cover people 24 hours, and you see a strong focus on giving people their dignity and working with their families on plans, especially in memory care, where there are secured areas with specialized attention.
There are a bunch of activities like arts, crafts, and education sessions, and there's scheduled transportation for doctor's appointments or group outings, and sometimes just little things like housekeeping, laundry, cable TV, and having your hair done at the salon help make people's lives easier. People get meals served in dining rooms, and there's the option for private kitchens if someone wants to do their own cooking. The therapy department is well respected, with outpatient and inpatient rehab for all ages using state-of-the-art tools, and those who want to get stronger after surgery or illness often mention the team is both knowledgeable and motivating. The atmosphere feels home-like and quiet, which some folks prefer, and there are amenities like guest parking, WiFi, fitness centers, and game rooms, so family can visit and residents can spend time as they like. Admission needs an initial assessment, and sometimes there's a waiting list, but the staff try to make things clear from the start, helping people feel comfortable about the move and what to expect. University Park Care Center earns a rating around 3.3 out of 51 reviews, and the management falls under Life Care Centers of America. People can ask for a tour and look through the media gallery or the Facebook page for ideas about daily life at the center, and a lot of what you'll see is the staff trying to help residents feel their best each day, working to return folks to their homes and communities if that's their goal.
