At 5822 S Lowell Way in Arapahoe County, Littleton Care and Rehabilitation Center has been operating for 34 years under Lowell Healthcare, Inc. It’s a small facility, 35 beds, currently running at 95% occupancy with 33 residents in place. The neighborhood carries a Walk Score of 69, so some day-to-day errands are walkable, and AdventHealth Littleton is about 3.5 miles out for anything more acute.
Average length of stay sits at 44 days, Medicare covers 43% of new admissions at roughly 20 days per stay, and private pay accounts for 56% of admissions at around 25 days. Medicaid is also accepted. That payer and stay-length profile points to a facility built around post-acute rehabilitation throughput rather than long-term residential placement, though both tracks are available.
The in-house therapy team includes physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech and language pathologists, and rehab technicians, all on staff rather than contracted out. Specialized wound care and neurological condition treatments are offered on-site. Memory care is available as a distinct care level. On the nursing side, the facility reports 1h 3m of RN time per resident per day, 34m of LPN/LVN time, and 2h 10m of nurse aide time, totaling 3h 39m of daily nursing coverage per resident.
Outside of clinical services, residents have access to arts and crafts, lecture series, social events, retail excursions, and church services. A Resident Council meets on a regular basis. The grounds are landscaped, and the dining program is described as offering nutritious, satisfying menus.
Littleton Care and Rehabilitation Center is a compact, high-occupancy nursing home with a clinical orientation toward short-term rehab. The in-house therapy team, specialized treatment offerings, and memory care track make it a reasonable fit for residents recovering from acute illness or surgery, as well as those who need ongoing skilled nursing or memory support in a small-community setting near Littleton’s center.
