Pine Ridge runs lean on nursing hours: 2.59 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a third less bedside time, and weekends are thinner still by about 10%. That shortfall sits behind its lowest federal staffing rating, and 56.3% annual turnover means the aides and nurses who are there keep changing. The quality measure score looks strong, but surveys tell a harder story: 22 deficiencies on record, two at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with $22,895 in fines and an inspection as recent as February 2026. A for-profit LLC operating 60 beds with that inspection history deserves your questions before a move-in.

Yampa Valley Healthcare Center runs 58 certified beds in Craig, and it's owned by a for-profit corporation. The staffing numbers are mixed: 3.39 nurse hours per resident per day lands about 12% under the national average of 3.86, but turnover sits at 45.5%, essentially matching the national rate, and weekend coverage only dips about 3% below weekday levels. So consistent hands, fewer of them. The inspection record is the real concern, 40 deficiencies, 10 serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, 3 tied to abuse, and $120,965 in fines across three penalties. Combine that with the two-out-of-five inspection and quality ratings and a survey from late 2024, and the pattern is clear.

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.

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.

Staff turnover at Columbine West runs about double the national rate, 95.7% versus 45.8%. That means the aides and nurses caring for your family member are, more likely than not, new to the building and still learning it. The inspection record backs up that instability: 17 deficiencies on file, including two serious enough to put a resident in harm's way and two tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $26,891 have been levied, and the last full inspection was April 2024. For-profit corporate ownership and 100 beds round out the picture. The quality measure score looks fine on paper, but quality measures are self-reported, and they sit uneasily next to that inspection history.

Highline Post Acute runs 125 beds in Denver under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.12 hours per resident day, about 19% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families tend to visit. Turnover is 43.3%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is the harder read: 36 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and $92,284 in fines across four penalties. The last inspection was August 15, 2024. Quality measures score mid-range, but the health inspection side is where the problems concentrate.

High Plains Post Acute runs about 3.67 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 9% below its own weekday levels. The bigger concern is turnover: 65.7% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your family member are relatively new. On the last inspection in February 2025, surveyors wrote 33 deficiencies, six serious enough to put residents in harm's way, one involving abuse, with four fines totaling $72,840. The quality measure score looks good on paper, but those numbers come largely from resident assessments, the staffing and inspection record is where the real picture sits.

Vista Ridge runs about 18% below the national average on nurse staffing, and weekends drop another 12% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 64.2% against a national 45.8%, roughly two of every three caregivers left within the year. The inspection record shows 31 deficiencies, including three at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with $41,772 in fines. A December 2025 inspection is recent, and the 3/5 health inspection and quality scores aren't alarming on their own. The staffing number is the one worth pressing on during a tour.

Westlake Health and Rehabilitation Center is a 107-bed for-profit home in Greeley, and the numbers pull in different directions depending on what you weigh most. Its last inspection was in April 2024 and came back strong on health and safety, with 12 deficiencies on record, just one at the harm level, and no abuse citations. Staffing is where the trouble sits: 3.01 nurse hours per resident day runs about 22 percent under the national average, weekends dip another 11 percent below its own weekday level, and turnover hits 72.3 percent against a national 45.8. A decent inspection history can't offset a workforce that thin and that unstable.

South Platte Rehabilitation and Nursing in Brush runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.38 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 9% below its own weekdays. That shortfall shows up in the staffing rating, and the 64.7% annual turnover means the aides and nurses at the bedside are often new. Its inspection record carries 18 deficiencies, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $49,843. Ownership is a for-profit LLC with 78 certified beds. The last state inspection was October 8, 2024. Quality measures score mid-range, but staffing and safety are where families should focus questions.

Medallion Post Acute Rehabilitation runs on 3.25 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 16% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 15% below its own weekday levels. That thin staffing shows in the numbers: a 55.6% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, and 25 deficiencies on the current record, seven serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, one abuse-related. Four fines total $86,723. The last inspection was August 2024, so the record is fairly recent. This is a for-profit LLC with 60 beds, and the pattern across staffing, turnover, and inspection history is consistent rather than isolated.

Sterling Rehabilitation and Nursing runs 63 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers behind its record are worth knowing before you visit. Nurse staffing sits at 3.22 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 16% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover is 60.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for residents are often new. The current inspection record carries 34 deficiencies, five of them at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. Four fines total $118,155, and the last inspection was August 2025.
