Page 27 of Best Nursing Homes in Colorado

Paonia Care and Rehabilitation Center provides nursing home and skilled nursing care, along with memory care, in Paonia, Colorado. Skilled nursing includes licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while memory care offers a secured, supervised setting for someone living with dementia. The 60 bed center also provides short term rehabilitation, long term care, and outpatient rehabilitation services.

Short term rehabilitation supports a defined recovery period, while long term care supports ongoing residence at the center. Outpatient rehabilitation allows someone to receive therapy without living at the center. Restaurant style dining gives residents their meals in a restaurant setting, and the on site beauty salon provides salon services without leaving the community.

The area has a Walk Score of 52 and is somewhat walkable, so some errands can be done on foot. For a resident who no longer drives, that can make certain errands possible without arranging a ride. Michelle Salstrand serves as administrator, and Meadowbrook Blvd. Operations operates the center. Memory care may be a good fit for someone living with dementia who needs a secured, supervised setting.
