Focused on short-term rehabilitation and post-acute care, Lakewood Post Acute and Rehabilitation is a 108-bed SNF in Lakewood, Colorado. Situated at 7395 West Eastman Place in a really walkable neighborhood (Walk Score 85), the facility stands in an area where lots of errands can be handled on foot and many services are easily reachable. It accepts Medicare and private pay. These give families coverage options for residents moving through rehabilitation or short-term care stays, which average eight days.
Lakewood Post Acute and Rehabilitation’s clinical focus centers on recovery and rehabilitation. It delivers thorough rehabilitation services, pain management, complex wound care, and specialized dietary programs. For residents who require more support, the home provides respite care, palliative care, and hospice services. Diabetes care is there for residents managing that condition. Such programs reflect an emphasis on evidence-based, condition-specific care during a resident’s stay. Nursing staffing totals around 1 hour 51 minutes of registered nurse time per resident daily, paired with nurse aide support of 3 hours 42 minutes and LPN/LVN coverage of 1 hour 38 minutes per day. This staffing model supports 24-hour care and allows nursing to respond to the medical needs typical of post-acute residents. Practical amenities designed for active recovery support daily life. The facility features an expansive rehabilitation gym where residents can work with therapy staff, spacious courtyards and common areas for mobility and socialization, and daily structure matching rehabilitation goals.
Checking out the gym and recovery spaces in person, for families evaluating Lakewood Post Acute, can help clarify whether the facility’s rehabilitation focus fits their dearest one’s recovery requirements.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
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.
| 1h 51m per day | ▲ 121% State avg: 50m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
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.
| 1h 38m per day | ▲ 140% State avg: 41m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 3h 42m per day | ▲ 67% State avg: 2h 13m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 6h 18m per day | ▲ 92% State avg: 3h 17m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 20m per day | ▲ 300% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
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.
| 1h 18m per day | ▲ 116% State avg: 36m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
