Colorado Acute Long Term Hospital

About

Improving the lives of people with severe illness or injury takes more than skill and compassion – it takes innovation.

Story

Colorado Acute Long Term Hospital is a 63-bed hospital in Denver, Colorado, providing high acuity care for patients requiring intensive medical, nursing, respiratory and therapy services. We focus on meeting the needs of all our partners in care, including the physician, patient and the patient's family. The facility was renovated in early 2008 to include private rooms for all patients, specialized bariatric rooms, a 10-bed intensive care unit, in-house radiology and CT scanner, in-house pharmacy and a procedure room. We are accredited by The Joint Commission and Medicare certified.

Colorado Acute Long Term Hospital is conveniently located just minutes from downtown Denver with easy access from both I-70 and I-25. We overlook picturesque Sloan’s Lake and offer views of both the majestic Rocky Mountains to the west and the scenic downtown Denver skyline to the east.

Building on a shared desire to bring the highest level of critical and acute care to patients with respiratory disease and other complex medical illnesses, Colorado Acute Long Term Hospital and National Jewish Health have developed a clinical affiliation that brings National Jewish Health's expertise in respiratory and critical care to patients at our hospital. National Jewish Health pulmonologists round Colorado Acute daily and are available 24 hours a day on an on-call basis.

Mission

We are building a company that cares for each patient's body, mind and soul.

At LifeCare, we believe sharing expertise and information across medical disciplines is key to developing a treatment plan that fully addresses a patient's recovery - not simply one aspect of it.

Each treatment team is directed by a highly-skilled physician and includes experts in areas such as nursing, respiratory therapy, pharmacy, physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, case management, nutritional services, recreational therapy, social services and psychological services. Patients and family members are important members of the treatment team and are encouraged to participate in all aspects of care.
