Extended Care and Skilled Nursing


For older adult patients or others who need special care, our Extended Care Facility gives you both dignity and independence. Our Skilled Nursing Facility can be an intermediate level on the way to recovery for those recently discharged from acute care. We are staffed with friendly professionals who understand your unique needs.

AVRMC Nursing Care Center has provided a home-like environment since 1963. It is owned by the city of LaJunta and managed by Quroum Health Resources Inc. We are licensed by the Colorado Department of Health and accept private pay and Medicaid residents. Both short term and long term admissions can be accomodated.

For more information, please contact Debbie McLain (see below) or our Admissions Coordinator (719-383-6436).
