Overview of Riverdale Post Acute

Brighton, Colorado. The operation centers mostly on short-term post-hospital therapy and recovery rather than long-term stays, helping patients transition back home after major illnesses. To process room charges and clinical bills, the office coordinates payments through private funds, traditional Medicare, and state Medicaid.

The area is highly pedestrian-friendly, so visitors can park their cars and easily walk to nearby destinations. Inside the building, the floor staff logs an average of nearly 3 hours of direct, hands-on care per resident each day. This round-the-clock crew of nurses and aides runs a large physical therapy gym, handles specialized complex wound treatments, and provides access to spacious courtyards and open common areas.

State health departments monitor the facility through routine licensing checks to ensure that safety procedures and therapy records remain up to code. Families looking for a recovery program can contact the front office to ask about current room availability, find out how the intake process works, or set up a time to walk through the therapy spaces.

5 of 6 metrics below state avg

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.	31m per day	▼ 37% 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.	37m per day	▼ 10% 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.	2h 15m per day	■ Avg State avg: 2h 12m per day · National avg: 2h 20m 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.	3h 4m per day	▼ 6% State avg: 3h 16m 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.	0m per day	▼ 100% 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.	20m per day	▼ 44% State avg: 36m per day · National avg: 28m per day
