Aviva At Fitzsimons operates as a skilled nursing facility, delivering 24-hour clinical oversight from registered nurses and licensed practical nurses. Residents receive ongoing monitoring of vital signs, wound care, IV therapy and post-surgical recovery services, as well as comprehensive medication administration coordinated with each person’s physician. A full team of physical, occupational and speech therapists provides goal-oriented rehabilitation for individuals recovering from strokes, cardiac events, fractures or other acute medical issues. The facility is equipped to support long-term residents who need continuous assistance with complex health conditions, ensuring that care plans are adjusted promptly when needs change.
Beyond direct medical treatment, the community emphasizes preventive and supportive services designed to maintain stability and reduce hospital readmissions. Chronic disease management programs guide residents living with diabetes, COPD or heart failure through routine labs, diet monitoring and education. Licensed social workers coordinate discharge planning and connect residents and families to outside resources. A medical director oversees care standards, and on-site nurse practitioners conduct regular rounds for early identification of emerging concerns. Emergency response systems are installed throughout, and the staff is trained in advanced cardiac life support to handle urgent situations until hospital transfer is necessary.
Accommodations are offered in a mix of private and shared rooms, each furnished with adjustable hospital beds, wardrobes and accessible bathrooms. Many rooms include individual climate controls, cable television and basic Wi-Fi, while select units add features such as small kitchenettes or a patio view; not all accommodations have all of these features. Housekeeping, laundry and maintenance services are performed on a set schedule, and residents can personalize their spaces with approved belongings. Small pets are allowed, subject to the resident’s ability to manage their care. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
Dining follows a rotating menu developed by a registered dietitian, with three main meals and scheduled snacks served daily. Therapeutic diets such as low-sodium, renal or mechanically altered textures are prepared according to physician orders. Meals are typically served in a central dining room to encourage social interaction, though tray service to the room is available for residents who are ill or on bed rest. Family members can arrange to join meals with advance notice, and the culinary team seeks resident feedback through periodic menu reviews to ensure that preferences and nutritional goals remain aligned.
