Overview of Sierra Post Acute

Sierra Post Acute runs out of Lakewood, CO, with skilled nursing, hospice care, and nursing home care named on its license. Nursing home care is for a resident who needs ongoing residential care. Complex wound care needs attention on a clock rather than on an appointment, which is what round-the-clock licensed nursing does.

Hospice care is the stay in a post-acute building that does not end in a discharge. Short-term rehabilitation goes the other way, a place to recover with no long-term stay attached.

The license here covers 102 beds. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay all fund care here, and the payer decides nothing about the care itself. Medicare reaches eligible short-term skilled care in the weeks after a hospital admission; Medicaid covers eligible residents; while private pay is money handed over directly.

Lakewood Healthcare LLC operates Sierra Post Acute, and Jarom D. Eberhard is administrator on-site. The fit is somebody needing short-term rehabilitation, complex wound care, or hospice care next to skilled nursing.
