    Good caregivers, but unsafe management

    I found a handful of truly caring, dedicated staff (Daniel, Sarah, Cherie and several CNAs) who provided excellent therapy and compassionate moments, but the facility is chronically understaffed and poorly managed. I saw missed medications, delayed help, soiled and unsanitary conditions, safety/abuse concerns, rude front-desk/leadership behavior, and inconsistent food/medical accommodations - problems serious enough to worry me. A few people reported recent improvements and strict COVID precautions, but overall my experience was mixed and I would be very cautious about sending a loved one here.

    About Lakeside Post Acute

    Lakeside Post Acute sits at 6270 W. 38th Avenue in Wheat Ridge and does a lot for older adults, taking in folks aged 55 and up and offering skilled nursing, long-term care, assisted living, and memory care, and you'll find both medical and non-medical home care under one roof, whether someone needs a little help now and then or needs a team on hand at all hours. The place stays open for admissions at all times, even when the main office and front desk shut down for the day, and you'll always find licensed nurses around because they believe in caring for people day and night. The building has an expansive rehab gym and a whole team led by rehab therapists and nurses, and people come here for short stays after leaving the hospital to get back on their feet, or sometimes for longer if they need ongoing care, support with activities like bathing and dressing, or management of health conditions like chronic kidney disease or multiple sclerosis. There's a dedicated memory care area and a unit for post-acute transitional care, plus rooms for independent and assisted living, and courtyards and common spaces give families a place to visit or rest awhile, which comes in handy if you're there for a while. People with wounds, ostomies, or those needing help after surgery can use the wound care program that works with all sorts of specialists, and there's hospice care for comfort at the end of life. Services include meals, homemaker help, and even transportation, and staff helps people find public programs or community resources if they need outside support, covering everything from Medicare to mental health and even opioid or suicide prevention resources. Memory and behavioral health support is a focus, with care plans designed so folks can work toward their goals, maybe regaining independence or just maintaining comfort. The Active Adult Living program and adult day services mean people who don't live in the facility full-time can still join in activities and use services, making it flexible for those with varying needs. Residents and their families can check a My Account dashboard for events, records, and messages, and there's extra support for emergencies or when figuring out legal or legislative questions comes up. Lakeside Post Acute falls under Vivage Management Consulting, has an administrator named Rachel Rodriguez, and you can look up directions or find their website if you want to visit or check on services, and the main idea is 24/7 skilled care, strong rehab programs, and support for those dealing with aging, complex health needs, and daily living all in one place.
