Center at Centennial sits in central Colorado Springs as part of a growing medical community where people will find a 68,500 square foot, state-licensed skilled nursing facility managed by Veritas Management Group, and there are 80 private suites here, each one with its own bathroom and shower, which is something people do tend to appreciate after hospital stays. There's a classic, timeless style to the common areas, with big windows offering scenic city views, and every room lets residents control their own thermostat, which makes comfort a little easier to manage day or night. The gym is full of new equipment and the whole place features state-of-the-art medical technology.
This nursing home focuses on physician-driven care planning, which means doctors are actively involved in planning care, so there's always thought given to each person's needs, not just a one-size-fits-all approach. The staff is known to be highly qualified and caring, and many who've stayed here mention the hands-on attention, not only for medical care but also for psychological needs and social support. People can get help from nurses skilled in complex care, and there's an emphasis on both physical rehabilitation-including therapy for walking, balance, and strength-and a full list of skilled nursing services.
There's discharge planning for every resident, which helps families and patients know what's coming next and eases the move when someone is ready to leave. The programs get tailored to each person, whether the goal is medical recovery or building up strength and independence after surgery or a hospital stay, and the place really encourages family involvement in care decisions. The dining room serves healthy, satisfying meals cooked by an executive chef, and there's even an on-site beauty salon for those who want it. Psychological care and regular therapeutic services round out the offerings, as do the social services that meet current nursing home standards. The grounds are well-tended, and the whole environment gives the feeling of a nice hotel-quiet, comfortable, and clean-so loved ones can focus on healing and regaining the abilities that matter most.
