In the fourth quarter of 2023, Life Care Center of Aurora stood out as the third largest nursing home in Arapahoe County, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

Data shows that the nursing center had a total of 166 beds available, 58 more than the average in Arapahoe County as of the fourth quarter of 2023. They aided an average of 90.4 residents during that period.

Life Care Center of Aurora had an overall rating of 2 from the CMS, which lags behind the average of 2.9 recorded for nursing homes in Colorado.

During the quarter, Hampden Hills Post Acute stood out as the largest nursing home in Arapahoe County, with 218 beds available. Cherrelyn Healthcare Center came in second place, with 190 beds available.

As of the fourth quarter of 2023, Life Care Center of Aurora has spent a total of $15,632 in two fines and suffered two penalties.

In total, there were 17 for-profit nursing homes in Arapahoe County, Colorado.

According to US Census data, in 2020, nearly 1 in 6 Americans were aged 65 years or older. Since 1920, the older population skyrocketed from 4.9 million to 55.8 million, reflecting a growth rate of roughly 1,000%, five times higher than the average growth for the overall U.S. population.

A 2021 study suggests that nearly half of this age group, roughly 28 million individuals, may require long-term services and support. Additionally, the study projects that over a third of them may eventually need nursing home care.

“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, an insurance education group. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
