The Suites At Holly Creek Care Center runs on unusually heavy staffing for a 25-bed nonprofit home, 5.75 nurse hours per resident day, roughly half again the national figure, and its weekend coverage only dips about 12% below weekdays, which matters when families visit and problems tend to surface. Turnover sits at 25.8% against a national average near 46%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The tradeoff shows up in its record: seven deficiencies, two of them serious enough to indicate harm, and $42,056 in fines across two penalties. Its last inspection was November 2024. Strong staffing and retention, but a paper trail worth asking about directly.

Vi at Highlands Ranch runs 5.89 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly half again the national average of 3.86, and the weekend dip is mild at about 8 percent. The current record shows three deficiencies, none of them involving harm or abuse, and the last inspection was September 2024. Turnover sits at 43.2 percent, slightly better than the 45.8 percent national figure, against a 24-bed for-profit corporate operation. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, come in at five out of five, which lines up with what the numbers show: strong daily coverage, a clean inspection history, and staffing that holds up through the weekend.

Frasier Meadows runs a leaner ship than most. Nurse staffing sits at 5.18 hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and weekend coverage barely dips, staying within about 7% of weekday levels. That consistency matters, because short weekend shifts are where care problems tend to hide. Staff turnover is 28.8%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents here tend to stick around. The record isn't spotless: seven deficiencies, two serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and three fines totaling $49,202. But a 4-out-of-5 inspection rating and a recent April 2024 inspection suggest those issues were addressed rather than ignored, and the quality measures themselves are strong.

Grace Pointe runs lean on problems and heavy on staff. The 53-bed home is individually owned for profit, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.69 hours per resident day, roughly a fifth above the national average, with a five-star staffing rating and a five-star quality measure rating to match. Turnover is 42.3%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday level. On the inspection side, the record shows 11 deficiencies, one at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey dated February 2026. A four-star inspection rating alongside those numbers is a fairly steady picture.

Liberty Heights runs a tight ship on the floor: 4.48 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% above the national average, with a 5-star staffing rating to match. Turnover sits at 23.4%, roughly half the national rate of 45.8%, which matters more than any single number here, it means familiar faces, not a rotating cast. Weekends dip about 9% below weekday coverage, worth asking about. The trouble is inspections: 16 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $39,035 fine. A July 2025 inspection is recent, and the 2-star health inspection rating reflects what surveyors found. Strong hands, shaky paperwork.

The Suites at Clermont Park runs 4.47 nursing hours per resident day, about 16 percent above the national average, and its staff turnover of 36.8 percent sits well below the 45.8 percent national figure, a sign people tend to stay. Weekend staffing dips roughly 13 percent from weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your visits land on Saturdays or Sundays. State inspectors were last in on February 18, 2026, and the home carries 13 deficiencies on its current record, one of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse. Ownership is nonprofit. The one harm-level citation is the detail I'd want explained before deciding anything.

Continuing Care At Wind Crest runs a 44-bed nonprofit home in Highlands Ranch, and its staffing is the headline: 5.11 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 48.5%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure, so continuity of caregivers isn't guaranteed. The inspection record is strong, the most recent look was in August 2024, with seven deficiencies logged, none causing harm or jeopardy and none related to abuse.

Hildebrand Care Center in Canon City runs 75 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a 4 out of 5 on health inspections and a perfect 5 on quality measures, with a survey completed in December 2025. What holds it back is the care floor and the record underneath. Nurse staffing sits at 3.81 hours per resident day, just under the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below the home's own weekday levels. Turnover is 48.6%, above the national 45.8%. Fifteen deficiencies are on file, three involving harm or jeopardy and one tied to abuse, with a $15,642 fine.

Brookdale Skyline runs 4.55 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 18% above the national average, and that staffing shows up in the five-star rating. Weekends drop about 20% from weekday levels, so ask how coverage holds up on a Sunday. Staff turnover sits at 53%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces. The inspection record is mixed: 17 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $9,110 fine. The most recent inspection was April 2025. Strong daily staffing, thinner weekends, and a citation history worth asking about directly.

Sunny Vista Living Center runs a tight ship on staffing for a 116-bed nonprofit in Colorado Springs. Nurse coverage sits right at the national average of 3.86 hours per resident day, and turnover is where this home separates itself, 26.5% against a national average of 45.8% means caregivers are staying put, which usually shows up in how consistently residents get the same faces. Weekend staffing dips only about 4% below weekdays, a modest drop. The tradeoff is inspection history: 16 deficiencies on record, including one abuse-related finding, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. A July 2025 inspection is recent, and the 3/5 health inspection rating reflects that mixed record. Families weighing a move here should ask directly about that abuse citation.

Katherine and Charles Hover Green Houses runs 48 beds in Longmont as a nonprofit, and its staffing is the real story here: 5.23 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only about 5% below weekdays. That consistency matters more than most families realize. The caution side is turnover, at 53.9% against a national 45.8%, and an inspection record showing 13 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm level and 2 tied to abuse, plus six fines totaling $42,262. The most recent inspection was January 2026, so the record is current. Strong hands-on care, but ask directly about staff retention and those abuse-related findings.

Good Samaritan Society's Fort Collins Village runs 64 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, all sit at 4 out of 5. On paper, the staff hours tell a more mixed story: 3.49 hours per resident per day is about 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly 13% lighter than weekdays. Turnover, though, is a genuine bright spot at 38.2% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record is clean where it counts, 9 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, no abuse citations, and the most recent inspection was December 2025.

The Village Care and Rehabilitation Center in Westminster runs on about 4.12 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 7% above the national average, and it carries a four-star staffing rating to match. Weekend coverage is the soft spot, about 16% thinner than weekdays, so if your family visits on a Saturday, expect fewer hands on deck. Staff turnover sits at 43.7%, a touch better than the national 45.8%. Inspections in December 2024 turned up 15 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none related to abuse. As a church-affiliated nonprofit, it answers to a mission rather than shareholders. Solid, not spotless.

Brookdale Greenwood Village has a staffing story that looks good on paper, 4.31 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, but the weekend gap matters. Care drops about 12% below its own weekday level, so a Saturday fall gets less coverage than a Tuesday one. Turnover sits at 48.7%, above the national norm, which means many of the aides working weekends are still learning the building and its residents. The inspection record is the harder read: 32 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. The quality measures score 5 out of 5, and the last inspection was in April 2026. Those two numbers pull in opposite directions, and the deficiency count is the one that reflects actual cited problems.

The Healthcare Resort Of Colorado Springs runs 97 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.80 hours per resident day, roughly 24% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real cushion, though weekends dip about 17% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. The harder numbers are on the inspection side: 21 deficiencies on the current record, including one at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. A $79,098 fine stands against that, and the last inspection was June 26, 2025. Staff turnover runs 54.3% against a national 45.8%, which means a lot of the people providing that above-average staffing are relatively new. Quality measures score well; the inspection history is what pulls the overall picture down.

Centre Avenue Health And Rehab runs 90 certified beds in Fort Collins under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a 5/5 health inspection rating with the most recent survey in October 2024. The catch is staffing: 3.53 nurse hours per resident day sits about 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 9% below the home's own weekday levels. Six deficiencies appear on the current record, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none are abuse-related. Quality measures score 5/5, so care outcomes look good on paper. The tension is real: excellent inspections and outcomes, thinner staffing than average. Ask about weekend coverage before deciding.

The Suites at Someren Glen runs a non-profit home in Centennial with 109 beds, and its nurse staffing sits about 20% above the national average, 4.63 hours per resident day against 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Turnover is the number that gives me pause: 51.8% of staff leaving in a year, higher than the 45.8% national rate, and that churn shows up in care even when the hours look good on paper. The inspection record carries 20 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus one fine of $36,446; the last inspection was April 2024.

Casey's Pond runs a solid ship on the clinical side. The Steamboat Springs nonprofit has a clean recent inspection, March 2024, with 20 deficiencies on record and none rising to harm or jeopardy, which is the part families should care about most. Nurse staffing sits at 4.37 hours per resident day, about 13% above the national average, though weekends run roughly 16% leaner than weekdays, so ask how that gap gets covered. The real wrinkle is turnover: 61.8% annually against a national average of 45.8%. That's a lot of new faces for a 66-bed home, and it matters for whether your parent sees the same aide twice in a month.

Peaks Care Center runs about 3.43 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 11 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 12 percent below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 38.7 percent, which is actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure, suggesting staff tend to stay longer than at many for-profits. The ownership is a for-profit LLC, and the current record carries 19 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none are abuse-related. Its last inspection was April 9, 2026, and all three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, staffing, come in at 3 out of 5.

Mountain Vista runs 168 certified beds in Wheat Ridge under nonprofit corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.08 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average of 3.86. But weekends dip about 6% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 65.9% against a national 45.8%, meaning nearly two-thirds of the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record is where the real concern lives: 35 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 abuse-related, with three fines totaling $39,227. The most recent inspection was April 30, 2026. Quality measures score well, but the compliance history and churn tell a different story than the staffing hours alone suggest.
