Wheatridge Manor Care Center

Please do not put your loved ones here. As mentioned in other reviews, all is good to your face but behind the scenes it is very bad. - For a medicaid patient, expect three to a tiny room. - Staff is inconsiderate of patient needs, and will tell a patient to pee in a diaper instead of assisting them to the bathroom. - Buzzers will ring up and down the halls for over an hour without a response. - Staff hangs out behind the nursing station and gossips among themselves while buzzers sound and family members wait to get questions answered. - Clothing routinely gets lost and they refuse to replace it, even weeks after the patient has left the facility. It seems that staff is not used to having family members around to witness poor care. The only upside to this is I can tell you about it. Everything in this review was witnessed firsthand, multiple times.

Out of all long term facilitates (and we toured many) we decided to put our mother in Wheatridge Manor. Great decision! The food is maybe not so good, but the staff is wonderful. She is happy thriving, and accepting of this part of life. Many, many thanks to nurse Sammi, very professional great heart. Thanks also to activities Sandy always smiling, super fun and knowledgeable. We are very happy and thankful.

Our experience at Wheatridge Manor was excellent. They really took care of my mom and they're really nice. The place was very clean and organized, and the staff was wonderful. She was in the area of the building for short-term care, but they also had long-term care available. The meals were very good, they purified everything for her. They played Bingo and all kinds of things, it was really nice.

It is an older facility. There is almost nowhere to go visit with the resident BUT the staff is amazing. They are caring and there seems to be enough staff to be there for residents and guests. Bottom line is a caring staff is what all of us want for our lived ones

Amazing place! My mother has been here numerous times for care and has always been treated with respect and dignity. This is a 5 star facility for a reason. The US News Health - US News & World Report is rating at 4.6 stars. Great staff, good food, amazing rehab! I will not send my mom anywhere else.

Best nursing staff in a facility. Clean , friendly place for loved one. If you want your loved one to recurve the best quality, I highly recommend Wheatridge Manor!

Avoid like the plague. Beautiful grounds on the outside but the care (or lack of) inside does not match the outside beauty. Praying there are places with better care. Family stayed there & received minimal care...family member had to ask for patient's breathing treatment (3 hours late) while battling pnuemonia & had to ask nurse aide again another time, had PT aide forget to put on wheel chair foot pedals & patient was crying out "owww, owww' as her foot was getting stuck under chair after broken leg & hip surgery...no empathy or apologies or comfort offered to patient, when patient needed to use bathroom, the time counted as help & patient did not receive physical therapy on those days. Patient went a whole week without any home care (including a shower, even though insurance covers 6 times a week) even though it was Wheat Ridge Manor's responsibility to set it all up , as we were told in a family meeting. Do not send your loved one here. Research other places, as we will have to also. What a disgrace...elder neglect.

My father was in the hospital, and then they put him in Wheatridge Manor Care Center. The staff was pretty good. If you want to get in, you can get in pretty easy, but if you want stuff done inside there for your parents, it's not so good at all. I was actually really mad, and we want to get out of there so bad. It wouldn't be so bad if it would be one or two or three times, but it's ongoing; they can't get the correct medications although it is prescribed by a doctor, and he has fallen down three times. There are three people in one room; it's real crowded and smelly. I don't like it. It's an older building. There isn't anything about the place that I like, from the rooms to the service. The food is not great. They like to collect the money. They play bingo and watch TV, but mostly everybody just sits around and looks at the wall. Their technology is behind. They have a horn that goes off underneath the bed to let you know that they're moving, and then it wakes up the other people who are sleeping in the same room. If you need help, they yell for help. They do have a little switch to pull for a light or rings a bell, but they don't respond to it. It's a crappy place, and I don't recommend anybody to go there.
