Schedule here for rehab after back surgery. Transport driver wheeled me in. You couldn't tell who worked there no name tags or uniforms. Checked in and the driver took me to my room. The room was less than desirable. 2 dogs were in the hallway. About 15 minutes a lady showed up and asked some mental questions. Next person showed up and what belongs I brought in to make sure I leave with them. Someone came in and gave me a lunch, I looked at it but I'm allergic to them. The 2 more people came with lunches. An hour into it I saw no-one else. My sister should up and I said get me out of here. I then called the girl that visited me in the hospital and told her what was going on. She is very kind and pleasant. two staff members came to my room after I made the call. The one who spoke was less than desirable. They actually told me that if I leave my surgery wont be paid for because the rehabilitation was ordered by the Dr. Really trying to intimidate, unbelievable. I called my insurance to see if that was true and of course it wasn't. Over 2 hours of this nightmare and left. Overall TERRIBLE experience

I have been in several rehab facilities and Rehabilitation and Nursing Center of the Rockies is absolutely the very best! The staff from the nurses to the social workers to the housekeepers are incredibly professional,patient, friendly and kind. I was here one day and everyone knew me by my first name! The nursing and therapy staff are amazing 🙂. If I ever need therapy again I would never think about going anywhere else!

I have been impressed with and grateful for this facility and the staff. Very caring team who give us confidence our loved one is being taken care of and treated well. They have a wide variety of activities for whose who want to/are able to participate and their communication and coordination of care have been excellent as care needs progress. The 4 stars is simply reflecting that facility itself is dated but it is safe and the staff really make all the difference.

My mother-in-law was in this facility and I can say nothing other than it is filthy and disgusting. her bed was broken after she had a hip replacement. She laid there all day in pain, and the only thing that somebody needed to do was plug in the bed. The lack of neglect in this facility is incredible. I hope that someone will investigate this facility and get people help so they don’t have to live under such poor conditions. Do not send your family member here if you have a choice.

My father was put here by a doctor at the hospital in Greeley. The first few weeks were good and they seemed to really care. Then overnight they stopped caring and would leave my dad in the same clothes. His floor was always sticky and they wouldn’t mop his room. When visiting I witnessed the tenants yell slurs back and fourth and my father felt uncomfortable so he would stay in his room. With that being said his TV never worked until his final days. He had many falls and they constantly moved him rooms. My dad had memory issues as well as prostate cancer. He was in constant pain and after about 5 requests for the doctor to call for pain meds other than over the counter they decided to call me when he had his final fall which resulted in his death. I would NEVER recommend this place. In fact they have never even called me to tell me sorry about my loss or even to follow up during his final hospital stay. When completing this review I see it’s asking about if the price was high or low or reasonable. They NEVER once told my family my father had to pay. His insurance was supposed to pay and they would call me for payment but not once for his meds. They cared more about payments then my father!
