Overall Review of Cherry Creek Nursing Center

common 12 reviews mention this

Staff are consistently friendly

Residents and families describe staff as friendly, caring, and responsive.

Many reviewers say the staff is approachable and kind, and that people take time to answer questions and help with day-to-day needs. Several mention feeling more at ease because caregivers understand them quickly and alert families when something changes. A few reviewers also share that the nurse or healthcare staff they interacted with was especially compassionate, even when they had other concerns.

common 4 reviews mention this

Activities keep residents engaged

The community’s activity calendar is a frequent highlight in reviews.

Reviewers describe there being a lot going on, including scheduled programs and social events, so residents are not left to fill their days. Families mention things like music and group activities, and one review says a resident who wasn’t a “joiner” was still encouraged to participate. This lines up with the community offering planned daily activities, day trips, and resident-run options.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Dining quality is mixed

Dining reviews range from good meals to concerns about management and timing.

Some residents and visitors describe the food as enjoyable or well-prepared, including a lunch meal they saw that looked fresh. Other reviews raise issues like mediocre food quality or food service being poorly managed or understaffed, including concerns about early dinner seating. Reviews also mention the dining experience can vary by resident needs, including diet-related restrictions that the community supports.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Nursing staffing can be a problem

Several reviewers raise concerns about staffing consistency.

Some reviews describe staffing challenges, including during high-stress periods like the pandemic. Others specifically mention nurse turnover or not getting the level of care they expected, including gaps in follow-through with requests. While other residents report responsive caregiving, the negative feedback shows staffing consistency is a recurring point families watch closely.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

The facility can feel dated

A couple of reviews describe the building as older and in need of repairs.

While many reviewers highlight cleanliness and a well-kept environment, a few describe the assisted living areas as old and difficult, including mentions of ongoing maintenance problems. One reviewer also cites concerns about the condition and responsiveness to repair requests. These comments stand out against the more positive cleanliness feedback.
