How many times have you:
Located a missing hearing aid?
Tracked down a lost denture?
Fixed three wheelchairs?
Redirected a resident?
Educated a family member?
Solved a nursing problem?
Helped with a transfer?
Found someone's glasses?
...all before your first scheduled treatment?
If your answer is, "That was just yesterday," keep reading.
Not the fake kind.
The real kind.
The kind who understands that therapy in skilled nursing is equal parts clinician, coach, detective, problem-solver, motivator, and occasionally magician.
Every job ad says:
"We have a great culture."
"We value teamwork."
"We support our staff."
Sure.
And every resident swears they only pushed their call light once.
At The Lodge at Red Rocks, we don't expect you to take our word for it.
Come see for yourself.

People actually enjoy working here.
Our NHA is phenomenal.
