My family and I are incredibly grateful for the care, compassion, and professionalism we have experienced at Skylake Post Acute in Thornton. During a very sensitive and challenging time for our family, the entire team has gone above and beyond to make sure my dad received not only excellent care, but also kindness, dignity, and support. A special thank you goes to all of the nurses in the Arbor Unit. Their attentiveness, patience, and genuine concern for my dad's well-being have meant more to us than words can express. They consistently ensure that both my dad and our family felt supported every step of the way. We are especially grateful to Kyle, my dad's social worker, who has been an incredible advocate and source of guidance throughout this process. Natalie, the Arbor Unit Manager, is an amazing communicator. She always made herself available, kept us informed, and demonstrated exceptional leadership and care for both residents and families. Her transparency and willingness to listen has made a tremendous difference during a stressful time. I would also like to recognize Jessica, the dietitian, who has been incredible to work with. Her knowledge, attentiveness, and genuine interest in my dad's nutritional needs gave us confidence that he was receiving thoughtful, individualized care. Thank you all, truly!

Our family has had a wonderful experience with Skylake Post Acute over the last three months. The facility is incredibly clean, and there is a vibrant, social atmosphere that keeps the residents active and engaged. The care team is exceptional—my mother is constantly raving about how attentive they are. A special shout-out to C.C., who has truly gone above and beyond to make her feel at home. Beyond the clinical care, the office staff was a lifesaver, guiding me through the complex process of applying for long-term Medicaid. I also appreciate the communication; their staff social worker coordinates care conferences with me every other month, ensuring all my mother's needs are met. They are even helping coordinate transportation for her to update her State ID. To top it all off, my mom loves the food! It’s a huge comfort knowing she is in such capable and caring hands.

I cannot say enough, good things about the staff on the arbor unit at sky Lake. My mom was transferred from another facility due to an injury, the staff at sky Lake made the transition easy, took the stress off of our family, they welcomed my mom with open arms, compassion, and true caring. The nurses are very knowledgeable, attentive, and just on it. The CNA‘s are Detailed oriented, very caring, And, the whole team works great Together putting the residents first. Liana and Ashley Were phenomenal in helping make this transition happen. The social workers, case management, front receptionists, and including the salon Have been phenomenal as well. The facility is clean And provides a warm welcome feeling. I wish we had our mom here from the beginning as we watch her thrive in a very positive environment! Everyone at sky Lake has been absolutely amazing! Thank you for all you do!

Skylake post Acute My family and I could not be more grateful for the care Chrystal provided during my dad's recent stay for rehabilitation following stroke. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with genuine warmth and respect. The entire staff—from the nurses and CNAs to the therapists and administrative team—went above and beyond to ensuremy dad's comfortable, well-cared for, and motivated. The rehabilitation team was truly outstanding. They created a personalized plan that was challenging yet achievable. Their expertise and encouragement were key to the remarkable progress He made. Thanks to them, he was able to regain strength and confidence far quicker than we expected. Beyond the excellent medical and rehabilitative care, the staff created a compassionate and respectful environment. The facility was always clean, the meals were nutritious and tasty, and the residents seemed genuinely content and engaged in the activities provided. Knowing that my dad was in such capable and kind hands gave my family immense peace of mind. We wholeheartedly recommend Skylake to anyone seeking top-notch skilled nursing and rehabilitation services. Thank you to the entire team for your hard work and dedication.

Skylake post acute is an awesome place to live. I know that for a fact because I have been there for 7 years and the staff is awesome. Especially Chrystal Carpio my social worker. She goes above and beyond to get my needs met. She is always so cheerful, in fact, she is the Elwood Blues of Social Work. What Elwood does with a microphone, Chrystal does with her no nonsense attitude. She's on a "Mission from God" to get things done. So before you go home to Sweet Home Aurora, Shake A Tailfeather and vote for Chrystal Carpio
