My father was in Wheatridge for skilled nursing and he nor I could not have asked for anything more. My father really enjoyed his time there and that should tell you everything. The entire staff was absolutely amazing. Truly a great establishment with wonderful people that like their job and like caring for people. I could go on and on

Care for the residents not good at all went to visit and resident turned on call light and it took 15mins before anyone came to check on her before they even came I stepped out of the residents room and all the aids were at the nurses station standing around. The nurses are horrible I asked one question they looked at me like I was invisible and went back to their computer I understand they have shift change but when I'm there checking on someone and have a question they should be able to answer. And yes I have worked in the medical field before what goes on at this place is unacceptable I don't even see why it's still open. Even the roommate was complaining about the abuse that goes on there I told her I believed her and it's heart breaking and the DON she is no better SMH

This place is understaffed people are quitting the administrator is running people off then had a career there after 20 years this place is one of the needs to reevaluate the administrator he's making changes there where church people cannot come in there and do what they want to do so therefore I will get ahold of the corporate office out of Colorado for Wheat Ridge and make a complaint against the administrator because every person that is in there wants him to go mr. Mike and as yellow Corvette he is bringing this facility down into the ground
