Overview of Life Care Center of Littleton

Life Care Center of Littleton has been a fixture at 1500 W Mineral Ave in Littleton, Colorado, for half a century. It is a 120-bed facility managed by Sara Dent that specializes in skilled nursing and rehabilitation. The area has a Walk Score of 54, so while you can walk around a bit, you will definitely want a car for most of your errands.

Everything about the numbers here points to a short-stay model. They are currently running at 81% occupancy with 97 out of 120 beds filled, and the average stay is just 50 days. It is not really set up for long-term living; it is designed for people who need rehab, dementia care, or Alzheimer’s support for a shorter period. They offer 24-hour security and staffing, plus you have your choice of private or semiprivate rooms.

When it comes to nursing coverage, residents get a total of 4 hours and 21 minutes of care every day. That includes 49 minutes from registered nurses, 49 minutes from LPNs or LVNs, and 2 hours and 1 minute from nurse aides.

They have a full-time activity director who keeps a structured schedule, and they take nutrition seriously with a certified dietitian and a fine dining program. You will also find a library, a beauty salon, a barber shop, and nice landscaped grounds. They have all the expected creature comforts like free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and flexible visiting hours. It is also pet-friendly, which is always a nice touch.

They have a re-entry program for people getting ready to head back to independent living, and they have formal councils where families and residents can share their feedback. They accept Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

Because of the 50-day average stay and the heavy focus on rehab, this place works best as a post-acute recovery destination. If you are looking for a structured, resource-rich environment while you focus on getting back on your feet, it is a very solid option to consider.
