Overview of Westwood Post Acute

Westwood Post Acute is an 85-bed skilled nursing facility at 3185 W Arkansas Ave in Denver, Colorado, offering short-term rehabilitation, 24-hour skilled nursing, psychiatric care, hospice services, and early memory care programming to residents in Denver County. The facility is operated by North Star Healthcare, LLC, and accepts both Medicare and Medicaid. CMS rates Westwood Post Acute at 2 stars overall, with Health Inspection performance as the primary drag — the facility ranks 182nd out of 182 Colorado SNFs on citations per inspection, the lowest in the state. Staffing runs in the opposite direction: nurse staffing averages 4 hours and 13 minutes per resident per day, sitting roughly 9% above the Colorado average of 3 hours and 51 minutes, placing the facility 45th out of 177 statewide on that measure. Westwood’s program depth stands out for a facility of its size. Beyond standard PT, OT, and speech therapy, it offers complex wound management, psychiatric care, and Rubato Music Therapy — a program specifically designed to foster cognitive and emotional engagement. An on-site rehabilitation gym supports post-acute recovery. The facility’s occupancy rate is 91%, well above the Colorado average of 76.5%, reflecting consistent local demand. Westwood Post Acute’s rehabilitation capacity, psychiatric services, and early memory care programming make it best suited for residents seeking short-term post-acute stays and those with complex or behavioral health needs in the Denver metro area.

5 of 6 metrics below state avg

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs 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. 38m per day ▼ 23% State avg: 49m 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. 39m per day ▼ 5% 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. 2h 5m per day ▼ 4% State avg: 2h 11m per day · National avg: 2h 20m 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. 2h 56m per day ▼ 10% State avg: 3h 16m per day · National avg: 3h 27m 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. 5m per day ■ Avg 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. 29m per day ▼ 20% State avg: 36m per day · National avg: 29m per day
