Washington County Nursing Home, the county-run home in Akron, runs on more nursing hours than most: 4.31 per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's a real margin, and it's why CMS gives staffing top marks. It's not all upside. Inspectors wrote up 20 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, and one fine of $24,668 sits on the record. The last inspection was September 2024. Turnover of 42.6% is slightly better than average, and weekend staffing dips about 5% below weekdays, worth asking about if you visit mostly Saturdays.

Villa Manor Care Center runs about 4.17 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, though weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday staffing. Staff turnover sits at 45.7%, essentially matching the national rate of 45.8%. The home carries 28 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but two are abuse-related, which families should ask about directly. Its last inspection was March 26, 2026, so the record is recent. CMS rates the quality measures 5 out of 5 and staffing 4 out of 5, while health inspections come in at 3 out of 5, the weaker spot. Corporate for-profit ownership rounds out the picture.

Edgewater Health and Rehabilitation runs 67 certified beds in Lakewood under for-profit LLC ownership, and its 3.33 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops about 13% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover of 46.8% edges just past the national 45.8%, meaning nearly half the nursing team turns over each year. The inspection record shows 12 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, though the most recent inspection was August 2025. Strong quality measures and a 4-star inspection rating coexist with real staffing and deficiency concerns worth asking about directly.

Silver Heights runs on 2.90 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 8% below what it manages on weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 46.5%, essentially matching the national figure of 45.8%, so this isn't a retention crisis, it's a staffing volume question. The current record shows 30 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but four tied to abuse, which is the number I'd ask about directly. The last inspection was April 2025, so the picture is recent. A limited liability company owns it for profit. Quality measures score well; the day-to-day nurse presence is where the gap lives.

Parkview Care Center in Denver runs 73 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the weak spot. At 3.46 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 10 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 12 percent below its own weekday coverage, so the hours thin out right when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 49.1 percent edges past the 45.8 percent national figure. The inspection record is genuinely strong: a 4-star health inspection, 5-star quality measures, and 22 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related. Its last inspection was March 2024. Solid care quality on paper, thinner staffing than average.

Veterans Community Living Center At Fitzsimons runs 180 certified beds in Aurora and pays for more nursing hours than most homes, 4.67 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping roughly 9% below its own weekdays. The catch sits in the workforce numbers: 94% annual turnover, more than double the national 45.8%, meaning the people delivering that above-average care are largely new to the building. On inspections, there are 18 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $34,467 fine; the most recent inspection was November 2024. Ownership is for-profit, individual.

The Center at Lowry runs on a lot of nursing hours, 5.12 per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and that labor shows up in a four-star staffing rating and a five-star quality measure score. But the inspection record pulls the other way: 18 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $17,933 fine. Staff turnover sits at 49.1%, a bit worse than the 45.8% national figure, and weekends run about 14% thinner than weekdays. It's a for-profit LLC with a 96-bed census, inspected April 2, 2026. Strong day-to-day care numbers, a recent inspection that found serious problems. Ask what changed since.

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.

Boulder Post Acute runs 162 beds under limited-liability, for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.31 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 8% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 59.5% against a 45.8% national figure, which means the people at the bedside keep changing. The current inspection record carries 30 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse; one fine totaling $9,113 has been assessed, with the last inspection dated February 19, 2026. Resident outcome measures look strong, but inspection findings and retention are the parts worth pressing on when you visit.

Englewood Post Acute runs leaner than the typical American nursing home, 3.13 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86, and weekends thin out further, dropping roughly 14% below what the building staffs Monday through Friday. The corporate owner has kept turnover at 32.3%, well under the 45.8% national figure, and the last inspection in November 2024 landed a 4-out-of-5 health rating. What that record also carries: 16 deficiencies, three serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse. Quality measures score 4 out of 5, staffing 3 out of 5. If your family member needs consistent weekday coverage, the numbers look steadier than the weekend picture does.

Gardens, The runs 45 beds in Colorado Springs under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a 5/5 health inspection rating, just three deficiencies on file with none reaching harm or jeopardy level, and a survey as recent as December 2025. The catch is staffing. At 3.04 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 21% under the national average, weekends run roughly 13% lighter than weekdays, and annual turnover hits 56.1% against a national 45.8%. One abuse-related deficiency also appears on the record. Read those two sides together: the care processes look well-managed when inspectors show up, but the people delivering that care turn over fast and thin out on weekends.

Winding Trails Post Acute runs 150 beds in Boulder under for-profit, limited-liability ownership, and its numbers pull in two directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.20 hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 6% thinner than weekdays, so coverage is lightest when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot at 31% against a national 45.8%, and the quality measure rating is strong. But the inspection record is the counterweight: 69 deficiencies, 12 at harm or jeopardy level, six abuse-related, plus a $90,659 fine, with the most recent inspection in November 2024.

Life Care Center of Stonegate runs 120 beds in Parker under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing math is genuinely better than most: 4.78 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 12% below weekdays, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere. Staff turnover sits at 57%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and 19 deficiencies on record include two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse. A single fine of $17,342 has been levied, and the last inspection was October 2024. Strong quality measure scores and low staffing stars don't cancel out a two-star inspection record.

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.

Cedars Healthcare Center in Lakewood runs 130 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers pull in different directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.18 hours per resident day, roughly 18% below the national average of 3.86, but the staff who are there tend to stay, with turnover at 26.7% against a national 45.8%. The real concern is the inspection record: 41 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, four abuse-related, and two fines totaling $55,908, with the most recent inspection in March 2024. Strong quality and staffing scores don't cancel out that history. If you're considering this home, ask directly what changed since that March inspection.

Fairacres Manor runs 116 beds in Greeley under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers sit a bit under the national average, 3.71 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally, with weekends running about 9% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is the bright spot: 37.5% versus 45.8% nationally, which suggests people stick around longer here than at the typical home. The inspection record is where you'd want to ask questions. Seventeen deficiencies are on file, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, though the last inspection was recent (June 2024) and CMS gave the health inspection side 4 of 5 stars. Quality measures scored 2 of 5, worth asking the administrator what's driving that.

Heritage Park Care Center runs 90 certified beds in Carbondale under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is the part that should give you pause: 30 deficiencies on the current record, three of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus three abuse-related citations, and one fine totaling $25,990. The most recent inspection was August 2024, so that picture is fairly current. Staffing sits at 3.66 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below the home's own weekday levels. Turnover at 43.6% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, but it's still nearly half the nursing staff leaving in a year.

The Center At Park West in Pueblo runs a for-profit operation under an LLC with 80 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.31 hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real cushion, though weekend coverage drops about 9% below its own weekday level, so the weekday-to-weekend gap is worth asking about directly. The bigger number to weigh is turnover: 60.6% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning nearly two-thirds of the nursing staff turns over each year. Inspections in August 2024 turned up 20 deficiencies, two of them at the harm or jeopardy level, with none abuse-related. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspection results are more middling.

Staffing at Horizons Care Center runs slightly above the national average at 3.97 hours per resident day, and that earns a four-star staffing rating. But weekends drop about 16% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the care your family member gets on a Saturday may look different from a Tuesday. The 53.7% turnover rate is high, and with 26 deficiencies on record, including two at the harm level and four tied to abuse, the inspection history is the real story here. A nonprofit owns the place, and the last inspection was November 2024.

Harmony Pointe runs lean on nursing hours, 3.12 per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average, and weekends drop another 17% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover is the one clear bright spot at 29.2%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people who stay tend to stay. Against that, the inspection record is the concern: 34 deficiencies, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in September 2024. Ownership is corporate for-profit. The quality measures look strong, but those depend on consistent staffing to mean anything. Ask about weekend coverage and how the abuse-related findings were resolved before deciding.
