Profile: Colorado Acute Hospital

WHY IS OUR APPROACH SO SUCCESSFUL? Traditionally, caregivers transfer patients suffering from catastrophic accidents or illnesses from one unit or program to the next. Valuable treatment time is lost when new clinical teams are assigned to the patient, resulting in missed opportunities.

At CO Acute Hospital, our transdisciplinary approach to provide 
simultaneous acute medical care and therapy services is better for 
the patient. Patients receive the full spectrum of needed services in 
the same location, and at the same time. Early intervention with transfer from the short-term acute hospital's ICU to CO Acute Hospital drastically reduces long-term setbacks due to infection, muscle atrophy and general debilitation. Recovery in a shorter period of time is "The LifeCare Way!"

WE BELIEVE THAT EVERY PATIENT DESERVES A CHANCE TO SUCCEED.There is a difference at Colorado Acute Hospital. The difference is in our team approach, and in our dedication to our patients. We are unwavering 
in our delivery of optimal patient care, delivered with kindness and compassion. At Colorado Acute Hospital, we truly embrace our mission, 
"We are pioneers in improving the way we care for people's health, encompassing mind, body, and soul."

OUR HOSPITAL.Our facility is licensed as an acute care hospital under the Colorado state licensing agency.  Colorado Acute Hospital. considers itself an acute specialty hospital capable of treating the most complex of cases.   Our hospital is certified by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services as a Long Term Acute Care Hospital (LTACH) - a program which allows Colorado Acute Hospital.to designate itself as a Medicare participating hospital.  Our hospital also seeks accreditation from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO).

With invigorating views of both the lake and the majestic Rocky Mountains to the west and the scenic downtown Denver skyline to the east, our JCAHO accredited facility is conveniently located for easy access from both I-70 and I-25.

Colorado Acute is not simply a building or equipment. It is our people and our approach to health care. We provide for the needs of the medically complex patient, the 3% - 5% of the acute care patient population with multiple conditions. Practicing a transdisciplinary approach brings all applicable therapies and services to the patient, on an individualized basis, to increase the potential of achieving optimal outcomes. This approach has demonstrated its effectiveness in reaching better outcomes sooner.

We welcome facility tours and our staff will work closely with the patient, their family, and the patient's support team to insure a seamless transition of care. Colorado Acute Hospital sees our patients as people, individuals that deserve personal and compassionate care.
