Overview of Lowry Hills Care and Rehabilitation
Lowry Hills Care and Rehabilitation is a 108-bed nursing home run by Sweetwater Care Opco LLC at 10201 E 3rd Ave in Aurora, Colorado. About 74 percent of the beds are currently filled. Residents stick around for an average of 133 days, meaning the daily workload is divided between permanent residents and people working through temporary post-hospital rehab. For payment, the business accepts traditional Medicare, state Medicaid, and standard private pay.
The surrounding area gets a walk score of 39 out of 100, so visitors will generally need a vehicle to run errands or get around. Inside the building, the floor staff logs about 3 hours and 14 minutes of direct, hands-on care per resident every day. This 24-hour crew of RNs, LPNs, and aides handles structured physical therapy routines and provides medical oversight for post-surgery recovery.
State inspectors monitor the building through regular check-ins, and their recent reports pointed out some serious issues. They noted problems with discharge planning, late incontinence care, incorrect meal setups, poor handling of wound supplies, and a failure to protect a resident from an aggressive situation. Families looking at this facility can bring these specific safety concerns right to the front office to see what changes have been made, check if any rooms are open, and map out a time to come look around.
