Allison Care Center in Lakewood, CO is licensed as a nursing-home and delivers around-the-clock skilled nursing care. Registered and licensed practical nurses are on duty 24 hours a day to manage complex medical needs, administer medications, and monitor vital signs. Short-term respite care is available for families who need a temporary solution while ensuring their loved one receives professional oversight. Rehabilitation therapies, wound management, and coordination with outside specialists are integrated into the daily routine so residents receive comprehensive medical attention without leaving the building.
Beyond direct medical treatment, the care team develops individualized care plans that address each resident’s functional abilities and personal preferences. Certified nursing assistants provide help with bathing, dressing, and mobility, and the staff monitors chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, or COPD. Regular assessments guide adjustments to care plans, and physicians visit the community to review progress and update treatment orders. Families receive consistent communication about changes in condition or medication, reinforcing transparency and collaboration.
Accommodation options include a selection of private and shared rooms designed for safety and accessibility. Many rooms offer easy access to outdoor areas, and some open directly to a landscaped garden where residents can spend time in fresh air or visit with guests. Not every accommodation has all features, so prospective residents are encouraged to confirm specific layouts and amenities during a tour.
Dining services provide three daily meals prepared on-site, with menus developed to meet nutritional guidelines and physician-ordered diets. Residents with specialized needs, such as low-sodium or diabetic meal plans, receive appropriate alternatives at each sitting. Staff members are available to assist anyone who requires help with eating, and snacks are accessible between meals to support balanced nutrition.
Residents can take part in a full activity program that includes a dedicated activity center, organized clubs and community groups, and scheduled health and wellness programs that promote physical and cognitive engagement. A library and computer lounge gives individuals a quiet space for reading, internet access, and email with family. These amenities are intended to support social interaction, personal interests, and ongoing well-being within the community.
