Primarily short stays
Residents typically stay for brief periods, with frequent admissions and discharges throughout the year.
Most new residents arrive under private pay (79% of admissions), and a typical private pay stay runs around 3 - 4 months.
Operated by National Senior Communities, Continuing Care at Wind Crest is a nursing home in Colorado. The community accepts Medicare and private pay, giving families more options for residents who need skilled nursing care after hospitalization or ongoing medical support.
Wind Crest is a close-knit community with 44 beds, with high occupancy, almost full at 97%. This size offers a quieter setting where staff can easily provide more individualized attention compared to larger facilities. Residents stay for an average of 95 days, which is composed of short-term rehabilitation residents and those staying longer for ongoing care needs.
Daily nurse staffing averages about 5 hours per resident. Registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses work together to provide a full range of hands-on care. That staffing level is enough to support residents who need both the medical oversight and the personal assistance throughout the day.
The community offers rehabilitation services and respite care, coupled with health services and a medical center. It’s an ideal option for families seeking short-term recovery or longer-term skilled care stays. Residents can use the fitness center and indoor aquatics space to stay active.
Plus, the walking paths on the grounds are available for seniors who need to move and breathe some fresh air. Transportation services are also available for residents, and family members can get where they need to go.
The facility’s location earned a score of 31 on the walkability scale. Some nearby services can be reached on foot, but most daily trips require a short drive. For families planning their budget, monthly fees include meals, utilities, property taxes, and standard home maintenance.
Continuing Care at Wind Crest is administered by Kelsey J Ficca.
