Juniper Village – the Spearly Center is a 135-bed nursing home owned by Juniper Park and located at 2205 W 29th Ave in Denver’s West Highland neighborhood. Residents stay here for an average of 423 days, a length of stay that shows the facility heavily emphasizes permanent skilled nursing placements alongside its short-term therapy cases.

The surrounding area is exceptionally easy to navigate on foot, earning a walk score of 95 out of 100, so visitors can easily check out local shops. Indoors, the floor crew logs an average of 4 hours and 25 minutes of direct, hands-on care per resident each day. This round-the-clock team runs physical rehabilitation programs and oversees a shared dining program designed to get residents eating together at meal times.

Prospective residents can call the front desk to hear how management addressed these specific regulatory findings, ask about room availability, or figure out a good afternoon to tour the property.
