Overview of Amberwood Post Acute

Amberwood Post Acute is an 88-bed nursing home located at 4686 E Asbury Avenue in Denver, Colorado. Run by Centennial Master Tenant, the building stays busy with an 87 percent occupancy rate. Stays here average 141 days, showing that the staff splits its time between short-term therapy cases and long-term medical care. On the financial side, the billing office takes traditional Medicare, state Medicaid, and private funds.

The surrounding Asbury Circle neighborhood is great for walking, scoring a 95 out of 100, so family members can easily step out and run quick errands on foot when they come by. Inside, nurses and aides spend about 2 hours and 58 minutes giving direct, hands-on care to each resident every day. This round-the-clock team uses the on-site therapy gym for post-hospital physical rehab and handles complex wound care. The building itself is set up with large shared living rooms and open outdoor courtyards.

State inspectors have noted repeat issues on recent surveys with infection control, medication tracking, and basic resident safety, which the facility’s management is required to fix.

Interested individuals can call the front desk to see if there are any open beds, ask about how the wound care admissions work, or pick a morning to come look around the property and courtyards.

Staff type Hours / Day / Resident vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans.
