Advanced Health Care of Colorado Springs operates as a skilled nursing facility, providing round-the-clock licensed nursing care for residents who need short-term rehabilitation or longer stays. The center accepts individuals for respite stays, allowing caregivers a break while ensuring the temporary resident receives the same medical oversight as long-term guests. Physical therapists work on-site daily, using individualized treatment plans to help residents regain strength and mobility after surgery, illness, or injury. The nursing team coordinates closely with these therapists to track progress and adjust goals, maintaining a clear focus on safe discharge or sustained function.
Beyond therapy and skilled nursing, the facility manages complex clinical needs such as medication administration, IV therapy, wound care, and post-operative monitoring. Physicians and nurse practitioners make regular rounds, and lab, radiology, and pharmacy services are available as ordered. Care conferences keep families informed, and a discharge planning team helps arrange home health, equipment, and follow-up appointments when residents are ready to leave. The emphasis remains on smooth transitions and minimizing hospital readmissions.
Private suites are offered, and each comes fully furnished unless residents prefer to bring personal items. Depending on the unit, features may include central air conditioning, cable TV, in-suite washer and dryer, and Wi-Fi. Some suites open to landscaped outdoor areas or an enclosed garden, and several common rooms have fireplaces for quieter gatherings. Because floor plans vary, not every accommodation contains every feature, so touring specific rooms is recommended to confirm availability.
All residents receive three meals a day planned by a registered dietitian. Menus aim to support recovery goals, with modified textures and therapeutic diets available as ordered by the medical team. Meals are served in a central dining area, but tray service can be arranged for those who need it. Snacks and hydration stations are accessible throughout the day.
Life outside clinical care is supported by an on-site activity center that schedules exercise classes, art sessions, and educational events. Residents can join clubs and small community groups that meet regularly, offering social structure and cognitive stimulation without leaving the building.
