Overview of Lakewood Post Acute and Rehabilitation

Facebook

Lakewood Post Acute and Rehabilitation is a 108-bed nursing home located at 7395 W Eastman Pl in Lakewood, Colorado. Managed under owner Austin Birrell, the facility handles short-term recovery, with resident stays averaging just eight days. This brief timeline indicates an operation focused heavily on fast-tracked post-hospital care and transitional rehabilitation.

On the floor, residents receive an average of nearly seven hours of direct nursing care every day. This intensive daily schedule is managed by a 24-hour crew of RNs, LPNs, and aides who oversee pain management, diabetic monitoring, complex wound treatments, and temporary respite stays. The building features an expanded therapy gym and outdoor courtyards, while the surrounding neighborhood is highly walkable, scoring an 85 out of 100, which makes it easy for visitors to arrive on foot or handle errands nearby.

Routine compliance monitoring falls under state health guidelines, requiring periodic inspections of the physical property and clinical routines. The administration is responsible for keeping all daily therapy protocols, building systems, and staffing schedules aligned with regional licensing laws.

Prospective residents can reach out to the admissions office to ask about current bed openings, verify details regarding the short-term rehab intake process, or schedule a time to come look around the recovery spaces.

Staffing hours breakdown

Info 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.

Hours per resident per day — compared to Colorado state averages

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. 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 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. 1h 38m per day ▲ 140% 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. 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 Info 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 Info 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 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. 1h 18m per day ▲ 116% State avg: 36m per day · National avg: 29m per day
