Skylake Post Acute provides nursing home, memory care, respite care, and skilled nursing in Thornton, Colorado. Skilled nursing includes licensed nursing care around the clock, while memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for a resident at risk of wandering. Respite care is available for a short stay when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover, making it a potential fit for temporary support needs.
There are 242 beds here. That places Skylake Post Acute in the larger community range, with more residents and staff than a smaller home and more programming. Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 30 minutes per resident each day, meaning that amount of hands on nursing time is allocated to each resident daily. Rehabilitation services support residents recovering after an illness or another health event.
Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted. Medicare can cover short term skilled care after a hospital stay, Medicaid may help when savings do not cover a long stay, and private pay lets a family pay directly. The area has a Walk Score of 60 out of 100 and is somewhat walkable, so some errands can be completed on foot and a resident who no longer drives can make some outings independently.
Activity calendars and special events give residents scheduled activities to take part in. Skylake Post Acute can be a fit for someone who needs round the clock skilled nursing, a secured memory care setting, rehabilitation after a health event, or a short respite stay. Grady Goldhammer serves as administrator, and Thornton Community Healthcare operates the community.
