Mostly long-term care residents
Most residents stay for extended periods and receive ongoing daily care.
Most new residents arrive under private pay (60% of admissions), and a typical private pay stay runs around 5 - 6 months.
Sierra Post Acute is a 102-bed nursing home owned by Jarom Eberhard on Depew Street in Lakewood, Colorado. The building stays mostly full with an 88 percent occupancy rate, and residents stay for an average of 359 days. This long length of stay indicates that the daily routine centers heavily on permanent residential care, though the team also handles temporary rehab. For billing, the office works with standard private pay, traditional Medicare, and state Medicaid.
The surrounding area scores an 85 out of 100 for walkability, so visitors can easily handle quick errands on foot. On the floor, the staff provides about 4 hours and 18 minutes of direct care to each resident every day. This round-the-clock team uses an on-site therapy gym and outdoor courtyards to provide short-term physical therapy, complex wound care, and hospice services.
Past inspection reports and complaint filings showed repeat problems with care planning, resident supervision, and general building safety and maintenance. Individuals who want to know how the administration fixed these safety issues can contact the intake desk to go over the correction records, ask about open rooms, or book a time to come look around.
Sierra Post Acute is administered by Jarom D Eberhard.
