Overview of North Shore Health & Rehab Facility

Owned by North Shore Manor, North Shore Health & Rehab Facility is a nursing home in Loveland, Colorado. Its location at West 29th Street is in a highly walkable neighborhood with a Walk Score of 88, making it easy for families and visitors to navigate the surrounding area while walking.

The 120-bed home specializes in rehabilitation and short-term post-acute care, with dedicated physical therapy services on-site. The care team includes registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses providing roughly 4 hours and 20 minutes of combined care per resident each day. This level of hands-on support helps residents recover from surgery, hospitalization, or illness.

Residents are served with comforts and connection. An on-site chef prepares nutritious meals, with housekeeping and laundry services to support residents’ comfort. Amenities include a salon for hair and nail care, a chapel for residents who want to observe their faith, and transportation services for appointments and outings. There are also complimentary WiFi and landscaped gardens for residents who want to stay connected or spend quiet time outdoors.

State inspections reviewed clinical care and facility standards, with particular attention to infection control practices, pain management, and sanitation. Staffing responsiveness to resident needs and prompt care were also reviewed. These are ongoing areas of focus for the home, just like in other skilled nursing facilities.

Overview of Chateau Des Mons Care and Assisted Living

Set in a highly walkable neighborhood where most errands can be done on foot, Chateau Des Mons Care and Assisted Living is a 48-bed residential community in Englewood, Colorado. It sits on Marion Street close to retail and services, making it convenient for occupants and visiting family. At $4,740 monthly, it offers a straightforward approach to supported living with a practical care focus.

Chateau Des Mons Care and Assisted Living is built around nursing and rehabilitation services, with 24-hour staffing and an LPN available 24/7. That structure means residents get daily help with personal care, medications, and activities of daily living in a smaller setting where attention is personal, not institutional. The home offers specialized diabetes care and arranges transportation to medical appointments, decreasing friction for residents needing regular outside services. Everyday life is anchored by on-site amenities that encourage engagement and activity. Residents can use the fitness room, spend time in the library, and partake in arts and crafts. For social activities and programming, the large entertainment area serves as a gathering space. Dining is set up restaurant-style with a salad bar, and the facility offers guest meals for visiting family, so mealtimes are a social experience instead of a purely functional one. Housekeeping, room service, and linen service are included, meaning residents can focus on living rather than household management.

The mix of 24-hour nursing care, a range of daily amenities, and a walkable location offers families a pragmatic option for those needing support with daily tasks but values independence and an ordinary living pace.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Colorado

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Colorado?

Assisted living in Colorado is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Colorado Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — Colorado Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 225 nursing homes in Colorado. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home in Colorado?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Colorado, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting nursing homes in Colorado?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
