Overview of Hilltop Park Post Acute

Hilltop Park Post Acute is a 160-bed nursing home in Denver, Colorado, owned by Jonathan Ashcroft. The average stay here is about 73 days, meaning the daily workflow centers around short-term post-hospital therapy and temporary clinical recovery rather than long-term residence.

The surrounding Denver neighborhood is moderately walkable, scoring a 53 out of 100, so visitors can handle a few local errands on foot, while most trips require a car. Inside the facility, residents receive an average of 2 hours and 51 minutes of direct nursing care every day from a 24-hour floor crew of RNs, LPNs, and aides. This clinical team provides physical, occupational, and speech therapy, with shared or private room layouts available for incoming patients.

Recent inspection filings noted operational and clinical findings regarding medication administration, respiratory care, wound treatments, staff training, and how the facility communicates with residents and their families, which the administration is responsible for tracking and correcting.

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 217 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.
