Coal Creek Post Acute & Assisted Living

Exempla Circle sits in a Lafayette, Colorado neighborhood, where Coal Creek Post Acute & Assisted Living operates from a single address with 60 beds divided between assisted living apartments and a skilled nursing and post-acute rehabilitation unit sharing one roof. Two groups of residents typically call this address home: those needing regular support with dressing, bathing, and medication, and those recovering from a hospital stay, surgery, or illness who need nursing and therapy care before heading home or moving into a longer-term arrangement.

Nursing staff remain on site around the clock, and physical therapy, occupational therapy, and wound care are delivered by a team that coordinates with on-site physicians. Staff assisting assisted living residents with daily tasks and medication schedules work alongside the nursing and therapy teams, keeping care connected if a resident's support requirements grow more involved. Meals are served together in a single dining room, with group outings and planned activities organized for assisted living residents and an on-site salon handling grooming.

Skilled nursing residents generally follow a therapy and treatment plan mapped out by their care team, while assisted living residents shape their days around meals, activities, and personal routines. Assisted living here carries a monthly cost of $4,000, and skilled nursing and rehabilitation care runs $10,500 a month, with the difference reflecting the added medical support that rehabilitation and nursing care require.

Medicaid coverage applies to residents who qualify, and pets are welcome to share the building with residents. No locked memory care unit operates at this address, a detail families searching specifically for a secured memory care setting should weigh. Compared with expansive senior living campuses, Coal Creek keeps its footprint compact and centered in one building. Good Samaritan Medical Center sits a short hop from Exempla Circle, useful for transfers, specialist appointments, and family visits during a recovery stay.

Old Town Lafayette's shops and the South Boulder Road corridor lie nearby for errands, coffee, and casual meals when relatives come to visit. What sets Coal Creek apart is that nursing, therapy, and wound care staff move between the assisted living and skilled nursing sides rather than staying fixed to one unit, and families have noted that continuity as reassuring during both short rehab stays and longer stays.

This building holds far fewer residents than large multi-property retirement developments typically house, giving it a closer, more familiar feel.
