Special Focus Facility

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.

Abuse icon on record

The staffing number at Wyoming Retirement Center is the one to sit with: 0.39 total nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a tenth of the national average of 3.86. Weekends run about 45% thinner than weekdays already are, so certain shifts have very little licensed coverage in a 90-bed building. On the state's watch, its current record shows 18 deficiencies, six of them at harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $41,201 and an inspection from December 2024. State-run ownership doesn't change what those numbers mean for a resident who needs help at 2 a.m.
