Meadowbrook runs on thin nursing coverage: 2.47 hours per resident per day, about a third below the national average, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday pace. Turnover sits at 31.9%, better than the national 45.8%, so the staff who are there tend to stay, but there are fewer of them. The inspection record is where the real concern lives: 42 deficiencies, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse. That's a lot of serious findings for a 77-bed home, and it lines up with the 2/5 inspection rating despite strong quality measures and a recent April 2026 visit.
La Paz Geropsychiatric Center runs on 2.82 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 27% under the national average, and weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the harder number: 69 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and 11 tied to abuse. Staff turnover at 18.6% is well below the national 45.8%, which suggests a steadier workforce than most. A 5/5 quality measure score sits alongside a 1/5 inspection score, a split worth asking about directly.
Crestwood runs on thin staffing: 2.47 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third below the national average, and weekends drop about 24% below its own weekday levels. Turnover at 31.1% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem isn't retention so much as how few hours are budgeted per resident in the first place. The inspection record shows 14 deficiencies with no harm-level findings, but 5 are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Inspectors were last out in June 2025. The 5/5 quality measure score sits oddly against a 2/5 staffing rating, quality measures can look strong while daily coverage stays lean.
Garfield Neurobehavioral Center runs on unusually steady staffing for a for-profit home: 4.58 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average, with a 5/5 CMS staffing rating. Turnover sits at 13.2% against a national 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents mostly stay. The friction shows up in inspections. Seventeen deficiencies on the current record, including two at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, pulled the health inspection rating down to 2/5 despite a recent August 2025 survey. Weekend coverage also dips about 9% below weekday levels. Solid, consistent staffing paired with a troubled inspection history is the tradeoff here.
City Park Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center runs 125 beds in Denver under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.95 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the one number that beats the norm: 30.7% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. The inspection record is the harder part, 39 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and six tied to abuse, with a $8,278 fine and a survey completed in January 2026.
Rock Canyon runs on lean staffing: 2.80 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. The 41 deficiencies on record include 7 at the harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, and three fines total $89,938. Annual turnover of 49.1% sits slightly above the national 45.8%, which means caregivers cycle through faster than average. The quality measure star (4/5) looks strong on paper, but that score reflects reported clinical metrics, not the hands available at the bedside.
Villas At Sunny Acres runs 160 certified beds in Thornton under corporate for-profit ownership, and its 3.06 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit roughly 21% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover is the one number that looks better than most, 30.6% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record is where the concern sits: 28 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, with a $19,988 fine and a 2/5 health inspection rating, though the most recent survey came in April 2025.
Red Cliffs Post Acute runs 89 certified beds in Grand Junction under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice. At 3.11 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 19% under the national average, and weekend coverage dips roughly 7% below its own weekday level, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover of 54.4% is nearly nine points above the national figure, which means unfamiliar faces are routine. The inspection record shows 43 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in January 2025.
Mountain View Post Acute runs 180 certified beds in Colorado Springs under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nursing staff delivers 3.10 hours of care per resident each day, roughly a fifth less than the national average of 3.86. Weekends thin out further, running about 11 percent below the home's own weekday numbers, and more than half the nursing staff (54.2 percent) turns over annually against a national rate of 45.8 percent. The inspection history is the harder read: 57 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, drawing a $29,224 fine. The most recent inspection came in December 2025. Strong quality-measure scores don't offset a staffing and compliance picture like that.
Vista Grande runs on thin nursing coverage: 2.82 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a quarter below it, and weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday level. The quality measure score of 5 out of 5 sits in odd tension with a 2-star inspection record carrying 22 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $36,023. Staff turnover at 39.6% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so retention isn't the problem here, headcount is. The last inspection was in May 2024. The corporation owns it for profit.
Riverbend runs about 20% below the national average on nurse staffing, 3.08 hours per resident day, and weekends drop roughly 9% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 43.8%, slightly better than the national 45.8%, which suggests the problem isn't retention so much as how many hands are scheduled. The health inspection record shows 18 deficiencies, three of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. Its last inspection was April 30, 2026, so that picture is current. Under a for-profit LLC, the numbers point to a home that's adequately watched but thinly staffed.
Falcon Heights runs lean on nursing hours: 3.05 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 13 percent below its own weekday staffing. That combination is a big part of why CMS gives it one star for staffing. Turnover sits at 47.9 percent, slightly worse than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people around a resident change often. The inspection record shows 36 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and five abuse-related, with a two-star inspection rating and $6,146 in fines. Ownership changed within the last year. The five-star quality measure score reflects charted care items, not the staffing and inspection problems above.
Pueblo Heights runs on 2.88 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 8% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That thinner coverage matters more when turnover sits at 55.6%, ten points above the national rate, because replacements are constantly learning residents who need consistent hands. The record shows 26 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $30,707. The owner changed within the last year, and the last inspection was July 2024. Ask what that ownership change has meant for staffing and who now runs the floor on weekends.
Progressive Care Center runs about 3.00 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 22% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 12% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage shows up in the staffing star rating, which sits at 2 out of 5, even though resident outcomes on the quality measures look stronger at 4 out of 5. The 22 deficiencies on the current record include 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse; the most recent inspection was November 7, 2024. Staff turnover, at 38%, is actually lower than the 45.8% national figure.
Hope Springs Care Center runs on thin nursing coverage: 3.29 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 8% leaner than weekdays. That shortfall matters more when nearly two-thirds of the nursing staff turns over each year, 64.8% versus 45.8% nationally, because replacements take time to learn residents' routines. The record backs this up. Thirty-five deficiencies, five of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and three tied to abuse, plus nine fines totaling $87,079, and a health inspection star rating of just 2 out of 5. Quality measures score well at 4, but that's the piece families can't independently verify the way they can ask about weekend coverage.
Wellsprings Care Center runs 81 beds in Englewood under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd flag. At 2.92 nurse hours per resident per day, it's roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 55.4% against a national 45.8%, which means a lot of unfamiliar faces. The 38 deficiencies on record include nine tied to abuse, though none reached the harm or jeopardy level. Its last inspection was in September 2025, so the record is recent, not stale.
Canon Lodge Care Center runs 60 beds in Canon City under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits about 8% under the national average at 3.56 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover of 51.2% means the aides and nurses around your relative are frequently new. The current inspection record carries 25 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was August 2025. Quality measures score well, but that two-out-of-five on health inspections and thin weekend coverage are the numbers worth asking about before you decide.
Canyon View Care Center runs 88 certified beds in Palisade under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.45 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 12% thinner than its own weekdays. Turnover is 31.7%, well below the national 45.8%, so the crew that's there tends to stay. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 43 deficiencies on file, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $28,322, with the most recent inspection in July 2024. The quality measures look strong; the survey history is where the risk sits.
Evergreen Nursing Home runs on 3.34 nurse hours per resident day, about 14% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 19% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest staffing lands when families visit and emergencies tend to happen. The current record carries 13 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, plus a $20,150 fine, with the last inspection in August 2024. Turnover at 30% is better than the 45.8% national figure, and the 5/5 quality measure rating stands out against a 1/5 staffing rating.
Brookshire Post Acute runs on thinner staffing than most homes nationally, and the gap widens on weekends when coverage drops further below its own weekday levels. That matters because turnover here sits well above the national average, more than half the nursing staff leaving in a year makes consistent care hard to maintain. The inspection record tells the sharper story: 45 deficiencies on file, including five at harm or jeopardy level and ten tied to abuse, with two fines totaling over $75,000 and a January 2025 inspection still recent. Ownership is a for-profit individual operator. The quality measure score looks better, but those numbers reflect resident assessments, not the hands available at 2 a.m.
