During the time my uncle was at Lakeside Post I was always at peace knowing that he was very well respected and cared for. They provided excellent medical/wound care and overall living experience. My dad recently had to have a rehab stay and I felt Lakeside would be a great place for rehab. He is getting great PT and overall care. If there have been any issues the staff is attentive and they strive toward excellence. They listen with attentiveness and compassion. I feel they place the needs of their residents in high regard. This includes the receptionist, medical staff, dining staff, transportation staff, pt and ot staff and business manager and social worker. it takes a village and they have a pretty awesome one at LPA:)

As a professional in aging services, I have partnered with Lakeside Post Acute for many clients. Their team works diligently to meet the needs of their residents. Staff are communicative, open to out of the box thinking, and advocate for resident best interest.

Poor lack of care from most staff, they rely on certain members to carry the abmismal care of the majority of the staff. I am speaking from direct interactions. The pictures do not reflect the truths that actually happen and where. Their rep stands by a rating that I can not verify. Julie who represents the facility stands vemently behind a 4 star rating that I can not verify anywhere. The best I can come by is a 2.5 star rating and that is still stretching their rating.. I was put in this hell hole at around Christmas time of this year with the wing I was put into with no heat.. They finally got the heat working about a week after I arrived. They used space heaters in the hall ways where their staff worked but left the patients rooms to fend for tthemselves, They finally put a space heater in my room after days of complaining and threats to go public. They prey on the people who are afraid to say something because they are afraid of winding up homeless. Currently my roommate is in extreme pain and that is after the zophran they have given him and he is terrified that if I call the paramedics for him he will wind up homeless. I don't think I can sit idly by and continue to watch him suffer. I. Will give the medicine a little longer to kick in. DO NOT use or send anyone you care about her. There is no proper meal's for anyone on a diabetic diet nor a cardiac diet. As stated it is patched together by just a few staff members who actually care, I would give names but I know there would be retaliations. There is so much more and I am willing to tell you. Run as fast as you can from this so called skilled nursing facility. The pictures The y show I have been unable to locate here meaning they are make believe photos. Ask to see A19 and A20, we share all bathroom with two beds in adjoining room I was assaulted by one of the people in that adjoining because the bathroom door was accidentally left locked.

My grandmother was in this home after her hip surgery. The staff of nurses were rude and always looked high. I was walking out one day and two CNA were snorting some white substance in the parking lot.They were also talking about the residence and how bad they smelled and they didn't get paid enough to do the job they do. I'm sorry but if you chose this profession you need to work with sick people and help them shower and keep them clean. My grandma had red marks on her arms and legs every time I would visit and would ask what happened and was told they didn't know. She informed me that the nurses that clean them up pull them hard and push them. I have reported this to the state since the staff didn't know what was going on in their own facility. I'm so happy they moved my grandma out. Anyone that could do drugs in a parking lot in their employment and go in and work with the people ...can't be doing their job right and can be abousing the residence. Sad they make all this money and can't get quality help or do drug test on the employees. Also don't try to make a complaint here about the staff they stick together and don't think nothing of the concerns. I hope the state of Colorado follows through with the investigation
