Review

Westlake Care Community, previously known as Glen Ayr Health, has received mixed reviews from residents and their families. While some individuals have expressed dissatisfaction with the facility, others have praised the level of care provided to their loved ones.

One reviewer sadly reported that their family member had passed away at Westlake Care Community, but the facility failed to report the death to the Colorado Department of Health. The reviewer also mentioned that their relative's room was quickly cleaned out and assigned to a new resident, with many belongings missing. This lack of respect and attention to detail left a negative impression on this individual.

On the other hand, another family member had an overall positive experience with Westlake Care Community. They acknowledged that although the facility may not be as aesthetically pleasing as others, they were extremely satisfied with the care their mother-in-law received during her rehabilitation. The staff was reportedly accommodating and considerate, working closely with the family throughout the process.

While the facility is older and currently undergoing renovations, residents generally seem content with the care they receive at Westlake Care Community. Most certified nursing assistants (CNAs) are described as attentive and genuinely concerned about their patients' well-being. The activities offered may be repetitive but are deemed acceptable by those familiar with them.

It should be noted that Westlake Care Community used to operate under the name Glen Ayr Health. Although it may not boast a luxurious appearance, one reviewer emphasized that what truly matters is the compassionate care provided to their mother. This feedback highlights that sometimes appearances can be misleading and that quality care is paramount.

In conclusion, there are varied opinions regarding Westlake Care Community. It appears that some individuals have experienced issues such as negligence in reporting deaths and misplacement of personal belongings. However, others appreciate the caring nature of staff members who prioritize residents' well-being over aesthetics. Ultimately, prospective residents or their families should conduct thorough research before making decisions about long-term care facilities, ensuring they consider factors such as staff attentiveness and satisfaction levels of current residents.
