Cherry Creek Nursing Center

My 91 year mom went for care here after cardiac surgery in the rapid recovery unit. I am grateful to the staff for being helpful and patient to help with her recovery and after care.

My mom has been here for two weeks. She wants out. They have to contact the doctor. I been here everyday for hours at different times of the day and never once seen a doctor. They made a mistake and gave her something she did not need since then she has been a great pain and discomfort. I request a doctor and he/​she never came. They also made a mistaske and gave her another patients medication. The more excuses they give I feel like they are just holding her for the insurance money.

Cherry Creek # 1 downfall is its nepotism hiring practices. Instead of posting new jobs in house, or posting them at all, they give potions to unqualified friends of the administrator. On multiple times. Staff rules are not the same for everyone. If your a friend of admit you can come and go as you please. Staff has been known to clock in and leave the bld. Admit has been made aware of this. The facility over books staff while corporate is in bld. but will normally staff 2 nurses and 2 aides for 50 skilled and s/​p surgical pts. The administrator has been seen rolling her eyes behind family’s heads that had concerns about there family. I would not ever under any circumstances work or receive care at this facility

This place is a joke! I’ve had a lot of bad experiences here. I had a cna dropped me to the floor from my wheelchair. She said she needed practice and I was probably the smallest person there. An administrator saw me fall so we both had to write what happened. She yelled at me and told me what to write because she was a single mom and can’t afford to lose her job. Another time during my stay the lpn would put iv fluids in my pic line without gloves and no rubbing alcohol which sent me to the hospital with a bad infection! If you hate a family member or a friend this is where you want to take them. YOU’RE WELCOME!

I had a very pleasant experience here and found the staff attentive and caring. The therapy team was very enthusiastic and helpful.
The facility itself is massive with a lot to offer. It has some nice features I have not seen in other nursing homes such as bird cages and fountains to relax by. If you have a concern I’m sure the director of nursing or rehab director (Depending on your concern) would be happy to address it. Everyone I encounter seemed genuinely caring and motivated to help any way they could.

If at all possible, NEVER NEVER send your loved ones there, because they are doomed
