University Park Care Center in Pueblo, CO, operates as a skilled nursing facility, delivering round-the-clock clinical supervision for residents who need long-term nursing-home care. The center also accepts individuals who require short-term rehabilitation after a hospital stay, and offers planned respite stays that let caregivers take a break while their family member receives professional oversight.
Medical support is anchored by on-site physical therapy, a structured pulmonary rehabilitation program, and coordinated respiratory care that includes licensed respiratory therapists. These services are available seven days a week, allowing residents recovering from surgery, illness, or chronic pulmonary conditions to receive prompt treatments and monitored exercise sessions. Therapy plans are tailored to physician orders and adjusted as residents progress, ensuring continuity of care whether the stay is temporary or ongoing.
Resident rooms are designed for practicality. Depending on the specific unit and room type, features can include cable TV service, Wi-Fi, wireless internet access points, private kitchenettes for light food preparation, and access to outdoor areas such as a landscaped garden or patio. Flexible visiting hours and a pet-friendly policy make it easier for families and approved companion animals to stay connected, although not every accommodation includes every listed feature.
The dietary team provides three daily meals along with snacks, adjusting menus for physician-prescribed diets and resident preferences. Consistent portion control, texture-modified meals, and hydration checks support health goals, while mealtime scheduling aims to coordinate with therapy sessions so residents do not miss needed clinical treatments.
Recreational offerings include a staffed activity center, a library and computer lounge for reading or internet use, organized arts and crafts workshops, scheduled TV or movie nights, and supervised social outings in the Pueblo area. These programs are designed to give residents regular opportunities for physical movement, mental engagement, and social interaction.
