Arvada Health Center

My husband is a resident of Arvada Health Center. Like the director said, it's not the shiniest penny on the block and the dining room is kind of shabby. But the care is not bad at all. He has been in a few other communities, and they kept on dropping him. He doesn't have any problem with them, like when he's fallen he's not all beat up. If he needs to go to the bathroom they come right away; the care is actually good. We visit him once or twice a week, and it looks like they provide pretty good care. The staff is good, they come right away when you need them, and they treat him and us well. However, the food is bland. They have some activities for the residents, but nothing great. It's just a small, poor nursing home. They only have 150 beds and no amenities. But the staff doesn't abuse people, they're right there when you need them, and that's important. They respond promptly, they bathe them all the time, and change their beds every day. I have never seen cockroaches or mice in there. They actually have good reviews. The board came in and gave them a big plaque for caregiving on the wall that says they're very clean. The receptionist smiles all the time, and it makes you feel welcome when you come in. They're always very friendly to us. They're also cheaper than most of the other places. I don't think in Colorado you'd find anything for $7,200 a month. It's an old building on an old ranch, and the rooms are very tiny.

The care at Arvada Care and Rehabilitation Center was adequate, but my wife didn't care for the food. The place was clean and adequate. They have adequate activities considering the condition of their residents.

I can't say enough good things about this facility. I saw firsthand the genuine caring for each resident. The place was clean. The care was prompt and compassionate. The food was great with many choices for individual tastes. The therapy, both occupational and physical, were outstanding. The entire staff made me feel so much at home it brought a tinge of sadness when I got released to my beloved home in the mountains! Thank You for all you did and continue to do!

My dad is in Arvada Health Center right now. It’s an older facility, so it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that newer places do, but it’s kept fairly clean. The rooms are small, and they don’t have a lot of parking, but the staff is attentive. I’ve been pleased.
