Why choose us?

Sunterra Springs was created to redefine health care. We believe the institutionalized, “old folks home” environment can impede patients from reaching their highest healing potential — so our Independence community is clean, comfortable, and intentionally free of the sights, sounds, and smells of the average nursing home. Backed by Rocky Mountain Care’s decades of experience developing innovative senior healthcare communities and integrated therapies, our trained professionals are prepared to provide extraordinary care for even the most complex health conditions. Our location directly across the street from Centerpoint Medical Center allows for a seamless transition from hospital to rehabilitation, and our community has been honored with multiple Customer Experience Awards for cleanliness, dining, food quality, laundry service, and safety.

Our Commitment

Our commitment to our patients and their families drives how we develop therapy programs. With occupational, physical, and speech therapy services, we design each care plan to the specific needs of each resident to improve their recovery and function, as well as the quality of life. Each one of our patients receives gentle, hands-on care with an experienced, professional therapist in every therapy session. Care starts with face-to-face conversations and assessments, not just reviewing medical notes and monitors. Our team provides the extra motivation, encouragement, education, and bedside care that promotes healing and rehabilitation.

Amenities

Sunterra Springs Independence creates a relaxing, at-home atmosphere that promotes rehabilitation and healing. Our spacious private suites feature private bathrooms with walk-in showers, flat screen televisions, and comfortable furnishings for family visits. Residents enjoy custom-made menus with a priority on patient preference, a beautiful dining room with communal seating, a private dining and conference room for family gatherings, a fully-equipped therapy gym with cutting-edge equipment, a beauty and barber shop, a library with computer and internet access, and Wi-Fi throughout the community.
