CMS rates SP as Red Flagged for Abuse. Isn't a Veteran only a little better? Be Careful.

🇺🇸 That’s my Hubby on the billboard 👏🙏🇺🇸 Most people here are very good people and they treat my Husband well. Christmas time and Halloween were fun for my Hubby. Unfortunately the quality of food has gone down. I hate to think they’re cutting corners to save money on food and activities. Lastly, my Hubby’s clothes disappear sometimes…I had to replace a pair of his jeans 👖 yesterday, and his socks and brand new t-shirts have disappeared in the past also.

It is very hard to let go of your hero. My dad got sick about one month before he finally succumbed to his illness. We spent time in Colorado Springs at a hospital I won't mention. The alarms when off hourly and I was constantly running for help throughout the night to get someone to deal with the noise. I was finally able to get him back to the veteran's home where he was received with love and kindness. I spent the last three weeks at his bedside and observed the excellent care he received. The staff, from the CEO to the cleaning crew, treated him with dignity and respect. When he was down, he was lifted up. Pain meds were administered in a timely fashion. Not only did they take care of my Dad but they took care of his grieving daughter. I still cry, it still hurts but I am so comforted in knowing that Dad finished well and the VA home played a part in making that happen

I would like to give my family's heartfelt appreciation for the care, understanding, love and patience the staff at the Spanish Peaks Veterans Community Living Center and the Sangre de Cristo Community Care had in the caring of our father this past year. The staff appreciates the residents' service to their country. They make them feel special and not forgotten. Our Dad enjoyed talking to “His Girls” and missed them on their days off. From the first day of admission to his last day there, he was treated with respect and love. Thank you again for the care and love you showed our father.
