Durango Health and Rehabilitation runs 133 beds under corporate ownership, and its inspection record is the real story here: 48 deficiencies on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. That earned a 1 out of 5 on CMS's health inspection rating. Nurse staffing sits at 2.90 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. One bright spot: staff turnover is 31%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and quality measures scored 4 out of 5. But recent inspections, the last in June 2024, keep the overall picture middling.
Oakwood Care and Rehabilitation runs 170 beds in Lakewood under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing: 3.00 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 7% thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 53.7%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents keep changing. The inspection record backs that up, 74 deficiencies, 10 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 11 abuse-related, plus $217,271 in fines across three penalties. The most recent inspection was September 2025. Quality measure scores look good on paper; the health inspection side tells a different story.
Willow Tree Care Center runs 80 certified beds in Delta under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers worth your attention are the ones a family can't see on a tour. Nurse staffing sits at 3.31 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below the home's own weekday level, which matters if your visits happen to fall on a Saturday or Sunday. Annual turnover of 59.7% means most of the aides and nurses caring for your relative will be gone within a couple of years, well above the 45.8% national figure. Behind the current inspection record sit 52 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, seven tied to abuse, and a $44,240 fine.
Paonia Care and Rehabilitation Center runs on 3.00 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 22 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops roughly 9 percent below what it manages on weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 62.5 percent against a national 45.8 percent, nearly two-thirds of the nursing staff leaving in a year. The current record carries 44 deficiencies, including 5 at the harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $32,619. That history explains why the health inspection rating lands at 1 out of 5 even though families may hear positive things about day-to-day care.
Sierra Post Acute holds 102 certified beds in Lakewood and operates as a for-profit LLC. The numbers tell a split story: residents' clinical outcomes score well on federal quality measures, but the staffing picture is thin, a one-star rating there, with annual turnover at 50% against a national average of 45.8%. That combination matters, because quality scores rest on having enough consistent hands on deck. Inspections back that up. The current record shows 39 deficiencies, including six serious enough to put residents in harm's way and three tied to abuse, plus $78,888 in fines across three penalties. The most recent inspection was January 29, 2026. Families should ask directly how the home plans to address staffing and oversight.
Lakeside Post Acute runs 78 certified beds in Wheat Ridge under corporate ownership, and its staffing numbers sit below the national average, 3.25 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally, with weekends roughly 9% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 56.5%, well above the national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for your family member are cycling through faster than average. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, including three at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $14,058 and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. Quality measures score well, but that reflects charted care, not the hands available to deliver it.
Crestmoor Care Center runs 108 certified beds in Denver under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.87 hours per resident day, roughly 26% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot at 17%, well under the national 45.8%, meaning the staff who are there tend to stay. The inspection record is harder to read: 28 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a single $845 fine. The most recent inspection was February 2025, and CMS rated that inspection history 2 out of 5.
Rock Creek Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center in Monte Vista runs 60 certified beds under for-profit corporate ownership, and the federal numbers split in two directions. Quality measures look decent at 4 out of 5 stars, but staffing sits at just 1 star, and that gap matters more day to day than any resident satisfaction score. The inspection history is the harder read: 29 deficiencies on the current record, three of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, two tied to abuse, and $37,103 in fines across two penalties. The last full inspection was February 2024. If you're weighing this one, ask directly how they're fixing staffing before you ask about anything else.
Cambridge Care Center runs a leaner nursing floor than most. At 2.90 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly a quarter under the national figure of 3.86, and weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday coverage, the stretch when families often notice less attention. Turnover, though, is genuinely low at 32.8% against a 45.8% national average, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record is mixed: 16 deficiencies, including one at harm level and one abuse-related, plus $8,151 in fines, but the last survey was April 2024 and the health inspection rating still lands at 4 of 5 stars.
Allison Care Center runs about 3.44 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends drop another 9% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 27.9% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record is where it gets harder to defend: 18 deficiencies, three serious enough to cause harm, five tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $34,580, with the most recent inspection in March 2025. A for-profit LLC with 85 beds. Ask what those abuse deficiencies involved and how weekend coverage actually works.
Uptown Care Center runs a lean ship in a way that cuts both directions. Its 2.99 nurse hours per resident day sit roughly 22% under the national average, and weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. What stands out against that is a 17.6% turnover rate, well under the 45.8% national figure, meaning the staff who are there tend to stay. The inspection record is the weaker side: fifteen deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a $8,278 fine and a survey from August 2025.
Larchwood Health and Rehab runs 130 certified beds in Grand Junction under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.40 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends are thinner still, down about 19% from its own weekday coverage, which is where gaps tend to show up.
The inspection record is the bigger concern: 38 deficiencies on file, including 4 at the harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $28,685 and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating point the same direction. The last inspection was April 2024, so that record is fairly recent. Ask about weekend coverage and how abuse allegations get investigated before you decide.
University Heights Care Center is a for-profit home in Aurora with 105 certified beds, and its numbers point in different directions. Inspectors have cited 50 deficiencies on its current record, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, and its health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5. Staffing tells a more mixed story: nurse hours run about 2.93 per resident day, roughly 24 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 15 percent below the home's own weekday levels, though turnover of 27.7 percent is well below the national 45.8 percent. The most recent inspection was in August 2025, and fines total $9,315.
Colorow Care Center runs 82 certified beds in Olathe under for-profit corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.73 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 10% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover is 48.7%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is the harder read: 21 deficiencies, 2 of them at harm or jeopardy level, 9 tied to abuse, and a $10,059 fine, with the last inspection in March 2024. CMS gives it 2 of 5 stars on health inspections, though its quality measure score is 5. Ask about the abuse deficiencies directly.
Brookside Inn runs 4.18 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday staffing. That cushion didn't translate into clean inspections: the current record shows 29 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and ten abuse-related, with two fines totaling $63,246. The last inspection was March 12, 2026. Staff turnover sits at 47%, slightly above the 45.8% national figure. Quality measures score well, but a one-star health inspection record with ten abuse-related citations is the number a family should weigh hardest here. Limited liability ownership means the operating entity, not a person, answers for it.
Riverdale Post Acute runs 105 beds in Brighton under corporate ownership, and its last inspection in March 2025 turned up 38 deficiencies, one at the harm level and six tied to abuse. That's a lot of unresolved history on the books for a single building. Nurse staffing sits at 3.13 hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average, and weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts come when families tend to visit. Turnover is 37%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in who's actually on the floor. The quality measure score looks strong, but inspect the numbers behind it against that inspection record before deciding.
Adara Living runs 210 certified beds in Broomfield under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.66 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends roughly 8% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is the bigger signal: 64.4% of staff leave annually against a national norm near 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents are often new to the building. The current inspection record carries 39 deficiencies, four serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy and four tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $48,954. CMS rated its health inspection one star out of five; the quality measures scored five. That gap is worth asking about directly, strong reported outcomes sitting on top of a weak inspection history and constant staff churn.
City Scape Rehabilitation & Care Center is a for-profit partnership in Denver with 60 certified beds, and the numbers tell a mixed story. The quality measure rating comes in at 5 out of 5, but that sits alongside a 1 out of 5 on health inspections, 36 deficiencies on the current record, including 6 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $59,543 and a July 2024 inspection. Nurse staffing runs about 6% below the national average at 3.63 hours per resident day, weekend coverage drops roughly 20% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 53.3% against a national 45.8%. Good quality scores don't offset thin weekend staffing and a long inspection record.
Trinidad Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs on thin nursing coverage, 3.27 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8% below what the home already staffs on weekdays. The results split sharply. Its quality measures score is perfect, but inspections tell a different story: 40 deficiencies on the current record, including four tied to abuse, with a two-out-of-five inspection rating and the most recent visit in June 2024. Turnover, at 33.8%, is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem looks less like retention than how many hands are scheduled. Under a for-profit LLC, that's worth asking about directly before you decide.
Rio Grande Rehabilitation runs 60 beds in La Jara under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.48 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, with weekends running another 8% below its own weekday levels. Turnover at 42.9% is slightly better than the national 45.8%, so the issue isn't retention so much as how many hands are actually on the floor each shift. The inspection record is the harder problem: 39 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $54,946. The most recent inspection came in April 2026. A 4/5 quality measure score exists alongside all this, but quality measures are self-reported while inspections are not.
