The reason I am giving Rowan Community a 5-star review is because they care. The staff care about…read morethe well-being of their patients and several of the staff members are long time employees. We have 2 children at the facility that are suffering from a terrible neurological disease. They will never recover, and Rowan Community is their home. The staff treat them as such and take care of them like they are their own. You can't put a price tag or a star rating on that. If something were to happen to my wife or myself, we know that they would be taking care of. With that said, it is an older building and has a lot of the issues that come with an older building. They unfortunately are dealing with staff shortages much like every other business these days, but they are doing the best they can. Everyone pitches in to help. It is all hands-on deck when it comes to meal service, and they do the best they can. We are very involved with the care of our kids and you will find my wife there at least 3 times a week. Unfortunately, several of the residents have been forgotten by their family members and they expect the staff to just "handle" their needs. If you are looking for a state-of-the-art facility, Rowan probably isn't that. If you are looking for people who care, Rowan is the place.

Honestly, this is one of those situations where if I could take stars away from them or give…read morenegative stars, I would! My father was brought to Rowan after a back surgery for rehab, because it was affiliated with the VA. They seemed to be highly rated but this is the biggest nightmare of a care facility I've ever experienced in my life. This is the hell you send your loved ones to when they are dying! Before I even got there, my dad was texting us non-stop to come save him. He did not get breakfast because his dinner the night before was practically inedible. He begged us to bring him outside food. Upon walking in you are immediately hit with a smell of a mixture of morgue and mold-riddled cafe. Then you see the paint, decor, and bedding is all from the 1970s and 1980s. The beds spring boards and the mattresses are foam, not memory foam, regular camping mat foam. The beds at the hospital were more comfortable. The staff seemed mostly nice, but the Director of Nursing seemed to find us audacious for saying that the beds were not adequate. Dad was complaining of pain three times more in these beds than he did at the hospital before his surgery. I asked her how old the beds were, and she answered with "They are perfectly functional! What's wrong with them?!" That's not what I asked. The more I sat with my dad, the more triggered I got by the sounds and smells. It sounds like an insane asylum. Doors being slammed every 30 seconds, equipment knocking and slamming, staff yelling at each other across the halls, patients melting down, etc. There is no AC in the individual rooms. The PT center can only handle one patient at a time, and with as many patients as they had, I'm not sure how often they could have gotten around to my dad's care. As I walked to different places in the facility I was hit with what smells like feces and rotten menstrual pads. Then I had to get on the floor because my dad dropped his hearing aid battery and the floor was sticky. There were no chairs for visitors or patients to sit on. We sat on the unoccupied bed in the room and our backs started hurting as well.

What a special place this is! Olivia hired me to build up her physical therapy department in 2016,…read moreand although I no longer work at this practice, I still connect with her love watching her team and families grow. If you are looking for passionate and creative therapists who are committed to helping your child and family first, you have come to the right place. What a joy it is seeing your kiddos make progress in critical areas of development and actually have fun doing so. It has been over 4 years since I worked at Peak Pediatric Rehab, but I still consider that special place such a joy and their team as family.

I was a student at Peak Pediatric Rehabilitation under direct supervision of the owner Olivia…read moreBeare. I had an amazing experience learning from each therapist at Peak Pediatric. Everyone took extra time to assist my learning experience to mold me into the therapist I am today. I truly felt the bond between not only the therapists, but each kiddo and their own individual family members while creating a warm, welcoming environment at all times no matter what. Each therapist creates a personal, individualized treatment plan for each child, incorporating family goals into all therapy sessions, and ensuring at all times to provide compassion and understanding to meet all needs. Olivia has created an environment fit perfectly to assist children to be more successful in their day to day routine, and quickly adapt treatment plans to better fit the needs of each child. I truly felt the compassion, kindness, empathy and patience each therapist demonstrated day in and day out. I would highly recommend Peak Pediatric Rehabilitation to any family! They are the best and I miss them all!

At one of the most difficult times in my mom's life, Carillon made it easy. My mom was one of…read morethose that was NEVER going to leave her house but fate had different plans. Upon breaking her hip, we realized that home was no longer the safest place so we looked around at quite a few independent/assisted living places. Once I walked in Carillon, I KNEW this was the place. It looks like the Four Seasons! You don't feel like you are in any kind of home for older people and it honestly has such a wonderful, welcoming charm. Owners are from here and plan on staying here and will respond at ANY time and are remarkable and their staff is so amazing. Fast forward several month, my mom said she doesn't even miss her house!!!! We never thought she'd ever feel that way but Carillon made it so!!!

My MIL moved here just before Thanksgiving. We looked at several other places and this one was…read morehands down the best. Tracy and all the staff are so welcoming. I love the concept of this place! It is so clean. The units and common areas are beautiful! They recently helped us plan a birthday party for 23 people for my husband in the private dining room. A big shot out to Tracy (yet again), Alberto, Kayleigh, Heath and many others for making this event so special. Everyone commented on how fantastic the food was - even better than most of the highly rated restaurants close by for a fraction of the price. I would not hesitate to to move my own parents here. In fact, they raved about how great this place is and commented on how fantastic my MIL looks. They loved seeing her have a sense of humor that they have never witnessed before. This is place is simply the start of a new chapter in someone's life. I am so grateful!

They charge…read morean additional fee of $14.99 per month for credits towards 'wellness' classes' and they are offsetting the fact they do not hire PTA's.(Physical therapy assistants). I had to change pt because of the aggressiveness and resulting pain preventing me from making the progress I was expecting. Only when they checked with my back surgeon, did things change. My 'new' pt was better, I scaled back and listened to my body and took control of my rehab and am making progress with strength, flexibility, and pain. I cannot recommend this business for pt. Proper physical therapy following surgery is the difference between success and failure of the surgery.

My mother died this past February. She would have been at AOH 5 years this month. I wanted to write…read morethis review to say how appreciative I have been with the loving care Mom received. There was, of course, staff turnover during those 5 years, but I never saw anyone that didn't hold Mom and the other residents in highest regard and treat them all with dignity. A beautiful example is when I let a prior staff member know Mom was near the end of her life, that person came back to visit her and give her one final hug. Times were turbulent during the pandemic, but with imaginative ideas, family members were able to continue to connect with loved ones. There were video calls, window visits, outdoor visits, and after vaccination, in person visits once again. Due to the vigilance of the people at AOH, Covid didn't find its way into Mom's house until omicron, at which time everyone was vaccinated. Mom tested positive, but was never symptomatic; her body gave up some weeks later but it wasn't due to the coronavirus. Mom was content and happy at Applewood - and I will be eternally grateful for everyone who took such good care of her.

I'm writing from the perspective of line staff employee. I've worked in caregiving for various…read morecompanies (including PPCH, Roundup, and the non-profit United Counseling Service in Vermont) for the past decade or so, and Applewood blows them all out of the water. In the past year I have seen: A woman I love become coherent one to two days per month. I came in on my day off to chat with her. The "ladies of Upham" reenact high school with all the hilarious drama. Petting zoo, visiting singer, aquarium visit, park visits, coffee shop outings, visiting guitarist/humorist, visiting pianist, high school carolers, fishing trip, and bowling alley outing for the residents, families and staff. A wonderfully sweet and kooky 92-year-old woman make a full recovery after coming down with the flu. A man go through a scare where his pulse dropped and his face turned blue, only to be perfectly fine the next day. A woman who said to me, "quick, go get the chickens before the plane lands, they can't go to Australia." There is a high turnover rate in EVERY caregiving company; this job is listed as the #1 most stressful job by msn for a reason! In other companies we are told "side hugs only" and that "no, we can't do this or that because it is too expensive." At Applewood, from the top down, they care about people. I try my best to treat my residents like close family. I feel supported and am happy to work here. Please feel free to come by and ask to speak to me if you'd like, I'm at the newest location on Garrison street in Arvada.

Tiffany Martin from Acadia came to my house to do in home PT. The care/treatment she gave me was excellent. Tiffany has excellent communication skills and unlike when I was in the hospital for four days post surgery, she was able to clearly answer all of my questions and concerns. I did not feel like I had a cookie cutter approach to my treatment. Every session I was given a set of goals to work towards for my next treatment. I give Tiffany Martin 10 stars

REFERENCE FOR ACARIA HOMECARE…read more I'm coming up on two weeks of rehab on my new knee, that got off to a rough start UNTIL my PT from Acaria, Amy Kerrigan, showed up on my second day home and took charge. On the third day, her colleague Tammy Martin , OT, arrived, and together they got me up and moving safely and comfortably first around the house and then around the neighborhood with a cane. The team from Acaria was a lifesaver; we were overwhelmed with the medication and rehab schedule and navigating daytime oxygen needs. They came in , took control and helped organize everything, even monitoring the condition of the knee and communicating with photos and emails with my orthopedist over concerns about swelling and color of the knee. Tomorrow I confidently start outpatient PT , grateful for the headstart Amy and Tammy gave me. I'd recommend ANY knee or hip replacement patient ask their surgeon for a referral to Acaria Home Care.
