Cherry Creek Nursing Center in Aurora, CO delivers licensed nursing-home care that centers on clinical oversight and skilled medical services. Registered nurses are on duty around the clock to monitor vital signs, manage complex medication schedules, and respond to changes in condition. The center can accommodate residents who need short-term rehabilitation after surgery as well as those who require long-term custodial care. Physical, occupational, and speech therapists are available on-site, and the staff is trained to handle wound care, IV therapy, pain management, and post-acute recovery programs. Physician coverage and pharmacy services support timely adjustments to treatment plans, while lab and diagnostic work can be arranged without residents having to leave the premises.
Beyond direct medical treatment, Cherry Creek Nursing Center offers care features designed to maintain stability and reduce hospital readmissions. Case managers coordinate with outside specialists and family members to create individualized care plans and discharge goals. Social services staff assist with insurance paperwork and placement planning. A registered dietitian tailors menus to align with physician-ordered diets such as diabetic, cardiac, or renal restrictions. Transportation can be arranged for off-site appointments, and an activities team provides therapeutic recreation that meets state guidelines for resident engagement and cognitive stimulation. Ongoing fall-prevention assessments and a resident safety committee support a disciplined approach to risk management.
Accommodations at the community include a mix of private and semi-private rooms. Select suites feature in-room showers, individually controlled heating and cooling, basic cable, and telephone hookups, although not all accommodations have all of these features. Each room is equipped with an emergency call system and adjustable hospital-grade beds. Housekeeping and personal laundry services are provided on a set schedule, and maintenance staff address routine repairs so residents can focus on recovery and daily routines in a clean, orderly setting.
Dining services supply three chef-prepared meals each day, supplemented by snacks that are accessible 24 hours. Menus are reviewed by the dietitian to ensure adherence to prescribed dietary plans, and texture-modified or low-sodium options are made to order. Residents eat in a communal dining room when medically appropriate, but tray service is available for those who need or prefer to dine in their rooms. Regular hydration rounds and calorie-tracking support nutritional goals, and family members can arrange guest meals with advance notice.
