Arvada Care & Rehabilitation Center

Upon leaving the hospital following a week of recovery from a serious illness, it was recommended that I go to a rehabilitation hospital. Please don't put yourself or a loved one through this place! Medications were hours late constantly! Say anything, and there are retaliations. I was left on a bed pan for 30+ minutes! I was told not to use the call button, WHEN I absolutely had to, response time was always 20 minutes plus. Nurses in my face telling me to stop pooping because I had diarrhea. My roommate was there for hospice. She spent the entire 4 days it took me to get out of there screaming and throwing her meal trays, water, basically anything at the separation curtain. I kept being promised to move to another facility. After 4 days, I found a wonderful facility myself. Please do yourself and your family a huge favor and don't set appointments. Just show up to see how they really work! Better yet. Don't bother with this one!

The Rehabilitation Staff were amazing —knowledgeable, experienced and encouraging! Cannot say enough about all 3 therapies-PT, OT and ST! Activities staff also very good and fun, energetic! The Dietary staff sure worked hard. One young man who worked PT was very friendly and loved his job! Lucy stood out as an AMAZING aide. The DON was approachable and helpful -she, too, had a passion for her job! Thank you all for caring for our Mom.

I’ve met both of the last administrators at this building, and they have both been wonderful individuals with nothing but the care of their resident population in mind. It is so hard to find directors who really care about the people in their building if you’re looking for a place for rehab or for a long-term stay don’t look anywhere else just come to Arvada Care and Rehabilitation, you won’t regret it. Their nursing staff is amazing and their rehab program second to none.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. The nurses are incredibly inconsistent and rude to their patients and families. This center dramatically lowered my Grandmothers quality of life while she was trying to heal. I have reached out to express concerns multiple times and have not heard back and they are just sweeping everything under the rug. Very frustrating and disappointing.

I chose this place because it was five star rated. But when my mother arrived, she refused to stay. She was put in a room and the window above her bed the window seal was crumbling. The room was dark and gray, and the building is very rundown. I do have to say the staff was friendly and she didn’t stay long enough to talk about the quality of care. She had to stay overnight in order for us to arrange a different center. The staff promise to try to charm her overnight but when I spoke to her the next morning, she said no one really bothered to come in her room or do anything with her. She was given use of a walker and had to go to the bathroom by herself Before anyone had even taught her how to use it. She was also given what they said was a blood thinner on the last day that we later found out was a painkiller. She was told it was a blood thinner. I was also very concerned about my safety parking when I went to see her. There is no parking for gas unless you park on the edge of a busy street. I just felt unsafe getting out of my car. I’m sure the staff is kind but I did have some big concerns I understand that care is more important than aesthetics, but they need to do a little more with aesthetics…they really do!

The Rehab Department was superb! As a former Physical Therapist, it was very important for this to go well with my Mom, who was in ICU for 7 days. They exceeded my expectations, as did Social Services, the CNAs and The Activities Dept. Restored my faith in healthcare!

Horrible place!! Nurses and staff do care about their patients. They are extremely rude. My mom was verbally abused and they did not take care of her wound site after her surgery properly and she ended up back in the hospital. I will be reporting this place to the state of Colorado.

Beautiful gardens, wonderful staff!
