Life Care Center of Casper runs a 120-bed for-profit operation where the staffing numbers are genuinely better than most. At 4.17 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 8% above the national average, and its CMS staffing and quality ratings both come in at the top of the scale. Weekend coverage dips roughly 14% below weekday levels, and turnover runs 44.2%, essentially in line with the national figure, not an outlier in either direction. The inspection record is where it gets more mixed: 16 deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one tied to abuse. The last survey was in October 2024.
Life Care Center Of Cheyenne runs 160 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly 13% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover lands at 41%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none tied to abuse. Its most recent inspection came in November 2025. Quality measures score well and inspections rate strongly, but the direct-care hours and that one high-level deficiency are the numbers worth asking about.
Rawlins Rehabilitation and Wellness runs 62 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.35 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 3% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover is 38.7%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, and the staffing star rating reflects that. The inspection record is where the concern sits: 14 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 abuse-related, plus one fine of $14,433. The last inspection was August 7, 2025. Quality and health inspection ratings both land at 3 out of 5.
Westview runs about 3.50 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 10% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 51.5%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection history is mixed: a recent February 2025 survey, a 4-star health inspection rating, and strong quality measures, but 10 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse. It's corporate-owned and licensed for 102 beds.
Granite Rehabilitation and Wellness runs 146 certified beds in Cheyenne under corporate for-profit ownership that changed hands within the past year. Nurse staffing sits at 3.51 hours per resident day, roughly 9 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 6 percent below the home's own weekday levels. Staff turnover, at 44.3 percent, is close to the national figure, so retention here isn't the outlier. What stands out is the inspection record: 25 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to signal harm or jeopardy, plus one fine of $15,548. A recent inspection date of March 2026 means the picture is current. The staffing star rating of 4 doesn't square neatly with those hours, which land below average, so weigh the inspection findings heavily.
Sage View runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.36 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday numbers. That staffing pattern sits behind twelve deficiencies currently on record, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, along with a $12,735 fine. Turnover at 48.3% is slightly worse than the national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses who know your mother are leaving faster than average. The good news is the last inspection was recent, February 2025, and the quality measure score lands solidly above average. Ownership also changed within the past year, so the current operator has had limited time to fix what the surveyors found.
Thermopolis Rehabilitation and Wellness runs 60 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership that changed hands within the past year. Nurse staffing sits at 3.52 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends drop about 6% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The bigger worry is turnover: 73.2% annually, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for your relative are often brand new. Sixteen deficiencies sit on the current record, three involving harm or jeopardy and four tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $27,072. Quality measures look decent, but the staffing churn and inspection history are what pull this home down.
Wind River runs lean on nursing hours, 3.24 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip even further, roughly 8% below its own weekday coverage. That thin margin matters more here because turnover sits at 54.7% while the national figure is 45.8%, meaning the staff who remain are stretched and the ones who leave take familiarity with residents with them. The inspection record is the harder read: 37 deficiencies, three serious enough to put residents in harm's way and two tied to abuse, with $37,772 in fines across two penalties. New corporate ownership took over within the past year, so the current numbers reflect both the old operator's problems and whatever the new one has or hasn't fixed since.
Green House Living for Sheridan has real staffing depth, 4.53 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% above the national average, and that shows up in its staffing rating. But look at what else the record holds: 35 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, two tied to abuse, and $61,929 in fines across three penalties. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor care. Its last inspection was March 2025, and with 73.5% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, the people delivering that care keep changing. Good hours don't fix a troubled inspection history.
Summit Ridge runs leaner than most homes, 3.37 nursing hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends get even thinner, with about 12% less coverage than weekdays. That staffing pattern likely explains the middle-of-the-road marks on health inspections and quality measures, though the home keeps turnover well below the national rate and earns a 4-star staffing rating despite the low hours. The record shows 27 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, plus $34,646 in fines, and ownership changed within the past year.
Goshen Healthcare Community runs 103 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.05 hours per resident day, roughly 21% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. The 45.8% annual turnover matches the national figure, but the inspection record is the heavier concern: 25 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, plus a $29,617 fine. The most recent inspection was July 24, 2025. If you're weighing this one, ask specifically how the abuse-related findings were resolved and what weekend coverage actually looks like.
Laramie Health and Rehabilitation runs 105 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are where you notice the strain first. At 2.89 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 17% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 51.8% tops the national rate, meaning many of the people caring for residents are still learning the building. The current record carries 24 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, with $43,618 in fines and the last inspection in October 2024.
Casper Mountain Rehabilitation and Care Center is a 120-bed for-profit home in Casper, and the numbers are hard to read. Nurse staffing sits at 2.80 hours per resident day, roughly 27% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 13% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 64.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year. The current record shows 52 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $62,647 fine. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems.
Polaris Rehabilitation and Care Center is a for-profit home in Cheyenne with 105 certified beds, and the numbers tell a story worth paying attention to. Nurse staffing sits at 3.49 hours per resident day, about 10% under the national average, and it drops roughly 15% further on weekends, while annual turnover hits 69% against a national figure of 45.8%. That churn matters at the bedside. The inspection record is the sharper concern: 39 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and a $62,647 fine. CMS has placed this home in its Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems. The most recent inspection was January 15, 2026.
Big Horn runs on thinner staffing than most homes, about 3.28 nurse hours per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends dip below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover sits at 56.5%, well above the national 45.8%, so the people around your family member keep changing. CMS has flagged the inspection record at its lowest star, with 46 deficiencies on file, three serious enough to cause harm and seven tied to abuse. That record, plus Special Focus Facility status, is what sits behind the failing grade here.
Shepherd of the Valley runs 192 certified beds in Casper under corporate ownership that changed hands within the past year. The numbers that stand out: a one-star health inspection rating, 39 deficiencies on the current record, including seven serious enough to put residents in harm's way and three tied to abuse. Staffing sits at 3.26 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16 percent under the national average, and weekends run about 18 percent thinner than weekdays. Add 47.4 percent annual turnover and $97,031 in fines across five penalties. When a home changes ownership while carrying that inspection record, families should ask who's actually running the building day to day.
Worland Health and Rehabilitation runs on thin nurse staffing, 3.25 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 9% below what the home manages on weekdays. The inspection record is the bigger concern: fifteen deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, which is why CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program. A single fine of $6,788 is on file, and the last inspection came in March 2025. For-profit corporate ownership, 87 certified beds. If you're considering this home for someone you love, ask pointed questions about weekend coverage and how the abuse-related findings were corrected.
