Overview of Lakeside Post Acute

Lakeside Post Acute is a 78-bed nursing home located at 6270 W 38th Avenue in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Owned by Jeannae Dergance, the building runs at about 78 percent capacity. The average time a person stays here is 112 days, which shows that the building mostly serves people transitioning out of major hospital stays or working through mid-length physical recovery. To take care of the bills, the office takes standard private pay, traditional Medicare, and state Medicaid.

Visiting families can easily park their cars and head over to local shops or restaurants on foot, thanks to the neighborhood’s high walk score of 76. Inside, the nurses and aides spend about 3 hours and 45 minutes giving direct, hands-on care to each resident every day. Working around the clock, this team runs a large physical therapy gym and handles specialized, complex wound treatments. The building is also set up with open outdoor courtyards for fresh air.

State regulators inspect the property regularly, and the facility’s management is responsible for keeping all medical records, staffing quotas, and therapy schedules up to standard.

Prospective residents can call the main desk to check on open beds, ask about the details of the wound care setup, or pick a morning to come look around the gym and courtyards.

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +5% above state avg
Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 28m per day ▼ 43% State avg: 50m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 43m per day ▲ 5% State avg: 41m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility.

Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 20m per day ▼ 44% State avg: 36m per day · National avg: 28m per day
