About Cottonwood
Where you’re a guest, not a patient
Cottonwood Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center is a tight-knit community where every resident is treated as a VIP. Staff and neighbors become like family as we get to know you — your sense of humor, the recipes you’re “famous” for, and the stories you love to tell.

The values guiding your care
Treating Our Team Like Family
Our staff are our greatest asset. We give them the tools, support, and opportunities they need to grow, thrive, and feel valued, creating a workplace where they feel a deep sense of belonging.
Community Relationships
Our care centers are at the heart of the communities we serve. We honor the trust placed in us by giving back and strengthening mutual relationships that make our communities stronger.
Together, these three commitments shape every aspect of the care we deliver — care that’s as skilled as it is warm.
Close to home
Located just east of the Mercy Regional Medical Center, Cottonwood Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center is the ideal choice if you’re looking for post-acute or skilled nursing care in the Durango area. Many of our residents, guests, and staff are locals, who choose Cottonwood because it’s part of the community they know and trust.

Cottonwood feels like home. Everyone is so kind and helpful, and the food is incredible. The nurses and cna’s are professional, but also take time to make you feel welcome.

I do not have family residing at Cottonwood. I visit a few people through a Summit Church ministry. What I notice most is the cleanliness of the facility—no medicinal or urine odor as with some residences. The staff seems friendly and helpful. A very positive experience. The people I visit have expressed a high level of satisfaction with Cottonwood.
A beautiful place to call home
Designed with residents’ comfort and wellbeing in mind, our care center offers 40 private rooms, comfortable common areas, and a restaurant-style dining room. Outside, our beautifully landscaped grounds invite you to relax in the fresh air and sunshine.
