Vi at Highlands Ranch Skilled Nursing in Highlands Ranch, CO delivers round-the-clock nursing home care with licensed nurses on every shift. Residents receive continuous monitoring of vital signs, medication administration, wound care, and supervision of complex clinical needs such as IV therapy and post-surgical recovery. Physicians visit the facility on a routine schedule, and nurse practitioners are available to address changes in condition quickly.
The clinical team works with physical, occupational, and speech therapists to create individualized rehabilitation plans aimed at maintaining or improving functional abilities. Respiratory services, pain management, and diabetic care are coordinated through interdisciplinary care conferences, and the staff arranges on-site lab work, imaging, and pharmacy services when ordered. Families receive regular updates on progress, and discharge planning begins early to ensure residents have the resources they need if they return home or transition to another level of care.
Residents choose between private and companion suites that come furnished with adjustable hospital-style beds, bedside cabinetry, and built-in closets. Emergency call systems are installed in sleeping areas and bathrooms, and each room has basic cable and Wi-Fi access. Some rooms offer step-in showers, ceiling-mounted lifts, or additional storage space, but not all accommodations have all of these features.
Meals are prepared by culinary staff under the guidance of a registered dietitian. Three daily meals are served in a common dining room, and therapeutic diets such as renal, cardiac, or altered-texture menus are available when ordered by a physician. Tray service to the resident’s room can be arranged for medical reasons, and snacks are offered between meals; however, not every accommodation includes in-room dining tables or refrigeration.
An activity center on the premises hosts group exercises, arts and crafts, and educational presentations designed to support physical and cognitive engagement. The department coordinates daily calendars, offers individualized leisure supplies for residents unable to leave their rooms, and works with therapy staff to integrate restorative activities into social programming.
