Mostly long-term care residents
Most residents stay for extended periods and receive ongoing daily care.
New residents most often arrive under private pay (49% of admissions), and a typical private pay stay runs around 3 - 4 months.
Skylake Post Acute is a 242-bed nursing home located at 12080 Bellaire Way in Thornton, Colorado. Run by owner Malcolm Fraser, the facility keeps around 65 percent of its beds filled. People stay here for an average of 135 days, which means the daily routine is split between folks recovering from short-term hospital stays and those who live there long-term. On the financial side, the front office takes traditional Medicare, state Medicaid, and private payments to cover room and care costs.
If you look at the surrounding neighborhood, it gets a walk score of 60 out of 100. This means a few basic errands can be handled on foot, but visitors will generally want a car to get around. Indoors, residents get about 3 hours and 25 minutes of direct nursing attention each day. This care comes from a 24-hour floor crew of RNs, LPNs, and aides who manage the main physical rehabilitation programs and run a separate, secure unit for residents dealing with memory loss and dementia. The facility also schedules daily group activities and events to keep residents engaged.
The building’s management team is responsible for fixing any issues found during these surveys and keeping the nursing routines, kitchen standards, and physical building up to regional codes.
Interested individuals can get in touch with the admissions team to see what rooms are open, ask about the calendar of upcoming events, or set up a time to come take a look around the property.
Skylake Post Acute is administrated by Grady Goldhammer.
