Wheatridge Care Center

Wheatridge Manor Care Center is a skilled nursing community in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, offering person-centered rehabilitation and long-term nursing care for individuals from the surrounding areas. Care is provided in private and semi-private post-hospitalization transitional suites, with a focus on rehabilitation, renewal, and recovery for the whole person.

The community specializes in post-hospitalization rehabilitation for short-term needs following surgery or hospital stays, including recovery from stroke, fractures, hip and knee replacement, and heart or respiratory conditions. An on-site rehabilitation team of physical, occupational, and speech-language therapists supports these efforts, and an Outpatient Therapy program helps residents continue their recovery after returning home.

Skilled nursing services include complex clinical care such as IV (infusion) therapy, wound care, and chronic disease management, along with respiratory therapy for lung health. Telemedicine and on-site physician visits are available for medical oversight and coordination of care.

Wheatridge Manor also provides respite care for individuals whose at-home caregivers are temporarily unavailable, offering a safe and comfortable environment during their stay. For those in the final stages of life, the community offers End of Life programming and comfort care services, including hospice and palliative care, with customized care plans focused on symptom management, pain relief, and honoring end-of-life wishes.

Throughout a resident's stay—whether short or long term—Wheatridge Manor emphasizes person-centered care, encouraging engagement in activities and community events and helping residents build meaningful connections with others navigating similar experiences.
