Center at Park West

What happens if you go to the hospital with an injury or illness and you are unable to return home right away? In this situation, a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility (SNF) is extremely beneficial. Medicare and other insurance benefits typically allow admittance to a SNF after a qualifying hospital stay or authorization from your insurance. Our team can assist in treating, managing and evaluating your current medical condition(s).The Center at Park West is an 80-bed short-term facility that has been serving Southern Colorado since November 2017. We are rated a 5-Star facility by Medicare and provide rehabilitation and nursing services in a hotel-like atmosphere. Each patient is provided with a private room, including their own bathroom with walk in shower. Our highly qualified, professional staff offer a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to your care. Patients can expect training and education provided by our nursing and therapy teams, medical professionals and our Registered Dietitian, to ensure your safe return home after a hospitalization.To optimize your functional independence and to facilitate your safe return home, we offer a state-of-the-art therapy gym. The 5,000+ square foot rehabilitation gym offers life skills training in our ADL (activities of daily living) apartment, physical, occupational, and speech therapy services. The Center also offers Home Safety Assessments prior to discharge, within a 30-mile radius. The interdisciplinary team at The Center at Park West strives to provide outstanding patient-centered care and services, from your medical and rehabilitation needs, to your dietary requirements and psychosocial needs. Our full-time Registered Dietitian assesses every patient and provides individual dietary education, working closely with the kitchen to provide palatable, healthful, and nutritious meals to aide in recovery.Unlike many skilled-nursing centers that operate inside traditional long-term nursing homes, the Center at Park West is a freestanding building focused solely on short-term rehabilitation. With our individualized patient-centered treatment plans, family-like atmosphere, and our passion for your success, we are the best choice for short-term skilled nursing care in the area.

The Center at Park West was created to help patients recovering from illness or injury to reach their highest level of independence and wellness.Since The Center is not a hospital there are a few differences that you may notice after arriving here. We are licensed by the state of Colorado as a skilled nursing facility. That means that we are capable of providing care to patients who have had their acute or surgical illness dealt with at the hospital and now are ready to begin the process of achieving wellness prior to going home. You can call us at(719) 585-3400 to schedule a tour or learn more information about our services.

The lives of our family, and in particular our mother (Josephine Giarratano), have been touched and impacted by the health care industry and the people that tirelessly toil in this profession. That being said, as we reflect on the experiences of the past two years, we would like to express our gratitude to The Center at Park West. My mother has had the opportunity to literally rehabilitate 6-7 times over the course of that time period. She considers this facility and the people that have worked with her a home away from home, and we agree.The doctors, nurses, therapy staff, and support personnel individually and collectively have had a direct impact on returning my mother to a quality of life and living each time. We have been impressed by the genuine commitment to services, the day to day care, and the passion and professionalism that encompasses this care.When our family, including my mother, began the process of investigating care/rehab facilities, our number one concern and priority was safety and quality of care, in order to facilitate and enhance my mothers quality of life. TEAMWORK is extremely important to our family, and we can attest that the philosophy of the Center champions and embodies TEAMWORK. The environment is SAFE-EFFECTIVE-EFFICIENT and has a number of care providers in multiple areas of the facility. Patient engagement and satisfaction foster a trust and the ability to speak freely and openly to staff (a BIG plus for us), education during the pandemic and access was unfailing, and empathy was paramount for both immediate family and friends.Facility and Staff will be the biggest plus when doing your research. I empower those individuals and family members seeking a home away from home to reach out if you so choose and I will gladly address anything you may want to know or questions you may carry I will leave my contact information with the facility.Josephines comments from her stays:I was treated with care and respect by nurses, CNAs, Physical and Occupational Therapy members, enjoyed having my own room and that is was always clean, helped me when I needed help, when I had appointments they took me to and from promptly, breakfast, lunch and dinner were healthy and served timely and OT and PT staff were wonderful, helped me get better and out of the hospital and home each time.Editors Note: This article was submitted by the staff at The Center at Park West.
