Arbor View runs 3.42 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 56% against a national 45.8%, which means more than half the nursing staff left within a year. Inspections have logged 20 deficiencies, four serious enough to put residents in harm's way and one tied to abuse, with three fines totaling $22,271. The quality measures look strong, but they can't offset thin weekend coverage, heavy turnover, and a record that includes harm-level findings.

Grace Manor runs 3.78 nurse hours per resident per day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 15% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 41.7%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The current record shows 7 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a 5-star health inspection rating from CMS from an April 2026 visit. Quality measures score 2 out of 5, which pulls down an otherwise solid picture. For a 31-bed for-profit home in Burlington, the inspection history and manageable turnover are real positives, the question is whether that weekend staffing gap and weaker quality scores matter for the person you're placing.

Lamar Estates runs 60 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.98 hours per resident per day, a bit above the 3.86 national average, though weekend coverage drops roughly 13% below what it manages on weekdays. The inspection record is where the concern concentrates: 16 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus one tied to abuse, and a single fine of $42,390. The last inspection came January 29, 2026. CMS rates the health inspection side 2 out of 5 stars and quality measures just 1 out of 5, so staffing is doing most of the lifting here.

AHC Of Lakewood runs high on direct care hours, 5.36 per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and its last inspection in March 2026 came back clean enough to earn top marks for health and quality measures, with no deficiencies at the harm level and none tied to abuse. The catch is who's delivering that care and whether they stick around: turnover sits at 61.9% versus roughly 45.8% nationally, and weekends run about a fifth thinner than weekdays. Ten deficiencies and fifteen fines totaling $67,696 round out a record that's better than most but not spotless.

University Park Care Center runs 180 certified beds in Pueblo under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its staffing numbers are the first thing worth knowing. Nurses provide 3.15 hours per resident day, roughly 18 percent under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about another 10 percent below the home's own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 50.5 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent. The inspection record shows 24 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, with one fine of $22,653 and the last inspection in June 2024. CMS rates the quality measures 5 out of 5 but staffing only 2 out of 5, that gap tells you where the risk sits. Ask about weekend coverage and turnover before you visit.

Pelican Pointe runs 3.33 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average, and weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday level. That thinner weekend coverage matters when you're the one calling on a Saturday. Staff turnover sits at 53.7%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for your relative are likely to change often. The current inspection record carries 43 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus $71,640 in fines across four penalties. The most recent inspection was January 15, 2026, so the picture is current rather than stale.

Valley Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs 2.81 nurse hours per resident day, well under the national average of 3.86, roughly a quarter less hands-on time than the typical home. Weekends drop further, about 13% below its own weekday staffing, and annual turnover sits at 51%, above the 45.8% national figure. Inspectors last visited in June 2024 and logged 13 deficiencies, two serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level. The quality star rating looks strong on paper, but that's largely built from self-reported measures, while the staffing rating tells a different story. One fine totaling $8,278 is on record, and no deficiencies involved abuse.

Thornton Care Center runs on 2.99 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 16% below its own weekday staffing. That thinner coverage sits alongside 50.7% annual turnover, so the aides and nurses in the building keep changing. Inspectors have cited 62 deficiencies on the current record, 7 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, with three fines totaling $21,483 and a December 2024 inspection date. Adams County families comparing options should weigh those numbers directly.

Brighton Care Center runs 108 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its state inspection record is recent and solid, a 4-star health inspection rating with the last survey in November 2024. Where it gets shaky is staffing: 3.26 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average, and weekends run another 16% below its own weekday levels. A 1-star staffing rating reflects that gap. The 13 deficiencies on record, two of them at harm or jeopardy level, plus a single $38,812 fine, suggest problems serious enough to matter without a pattern of abuse. Quality measures score well at 5 stars, but good numbers on paper don't staff a night shift.

Juniper Village - The Spearly Center carries 31 deficiencies on its current record, six of them serious enough to cause harm or put residents in jeopardy, and three tied to abuse. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of problems, and inspectors have fined it seven times for a total of $274,182. Staffing sits at 2.76 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 29% below, with weekends running about 13% lighter than weekdays, and annual turnover of 52.6% means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The most recent inspection was December 4, 2025.

Heights Care & Rehabilitation runs 110 beds in Denver under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers are the first thing to flag: 3.30 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping about 13% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 75.9% is well above the national 45.8%, meaning many of the people caring for residents are new to the building. The inspection record shows 56 deficiencies, including 5 at harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, with $68,159 in fines and the most recent inspection dated April 2026. Quality measure scores look strong; the staffing and inspection data tell a different story.

Atlas Post Acute in Pueblo carries a for-profit corporate owner and 146 certified beds, with a 64.6% annual staff turnover rate that runs well above the 45.8% national average. That churn is reflected in its one-out-of-five staffing rating, even though its health inspection and quality measure ratings each sit at four. The gap between those numbers is the story here. Twenty-nine deficiencies sit on the current record, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse. One fine totaling $39,368 has been levied. The most recent inspection was October 22, 2024, so the picture is reasonably current. Strong inspection and quality marks don't cancel out a thin, constantly changing direct-care workforce.

Hilltop Park Post Acute runs 162 beds in Denver under for-profit LLC ownership, and its last inspection in March 2024 left 35 deficiencies on the books, four serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse. Fines total $66,307 across two penalties. Nurse staffing sits at 2.93 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends dip about 7% under its own weekday levels. Turnover is 39.5%, actually better than the 45.8% national figure. The quality measure score looks strong on paper, but that's largely resident-assessment data, and it's hard to square a five there with a one-star inspection record and thin coverage on the floor.

Storybrook Care & Rehabilitation runs 60 certified beds in Fort Collins under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where you'd want to start a hard conversation. At 3.68 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 5% under the national average, weekend coverage drops about 11% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 50% against a 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is heavier: 34 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $36,180, with the last inspection in September 2024. Quality measures score mid-range, but low staffing and a serious deficiency history together are the numbers families should weigh before deciding.

Eagle Ridge Post Acute runs 70 beds in Grand Junction under corporate ownership, and the numbers tell a split story. The clinical quality measures look strong, but that 1-out-of-5 inspection rating sits on 47 deficiencies, including four at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. Staffing runs about 10% under the national average at 3.46 nurse hours per resident day, weekends drop roughly 14% below weekdays, and 62.7% annual turnover means the aides and nurses your family sees keep changing. Four fines totaling $71,637 round out the record, last inspected in June 2024. Good quality scores don't offset a thin, churning workforce and a serious inspection history.

Walsh Healthcare Center is a 30-bed county hospital district home in far southeast Colorado, and the numbers suggest a place that runs lean. Its staffing score sits at the bottom of the federal scale, well below what CMS expects, and the quality measure score is also below average. That one-two combination matters more than the inspection history, which is actually its strongest area, 17 deficiencies on record, but none at the level where a resident was harmed or put in immediate jeopardy, and no abuse findings. The last inspection was recent, in October 2025. For a small rural home with government ownership, the real question is whether thin staffing is sustainable, not whether the care is unsafe. Ask about direct care hours per resident per day.

Glenwood Springs Healthcare runs 54 beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its last inspection was in October 2024. The staffing numbers are where the picture gets concerning: staff turnover sits at 81.8 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, and CMS gives the home just one star for staffing. That churn shows up in the inspection record too, 29 deficiencies on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with a single fine of $5,293. Quality measures score well at four stars, but a stable, present workforce is what keeps residents safe day to day, and this home struggles to keep one.

Springs Village Care Center runs 91 certified beds in Colorado Springs under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.17 hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 57% against a national 45.8%, so consistent hands are hard to keep. The inspection record shows 35 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with a $26,845 fine and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating. A 4/5 quality measure score doesn't offset staffing and compliance concerns, especially with the last survey only dated May 2025.

Parker Post Acute runs 154 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 20% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families tend to visit. Turnover is 36.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents. The inspection record is the real concern: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 28 deficiencies on file, five at harm or jeopardy level, and two tied to abuse. One fine totaling $17,342. The most recent inspection was March 2026, so that record is current, not stale.

McIntosh Care and Rehabilitation Center runs on 3.00 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 22% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 14% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage shows up in a 2-out-of-5 staffing rating and a 50% annual turnover rate, higher than the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses who remain are stretched, and the ones who leave take familiarity with residents with them. The inspection record carries 20 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus one $14,015 fine; the most recent inspection was March 19, 2026. The 3-out-of-5 marks on health inspections and quality measures are middling, not alarming on their own, the staffing numbers are the part worth pressing on during a visit.
