How non-profit Medicaid-certified homes in Colorado compare
This group set against every nursing home in Colorado, from the current CMS release.
Beth Israel At Shalom Park runs on numbers families rarely see in one place. Nurse staffing sits at 4.13 hours per resident day, above the national average, though weekends dip about 11% below the home's own weekday levels, worth asking about if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. Annual turnover of 14.1% is far below the national rate, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. The inspection record shows just two deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, with a recent survey. Three five-star CMS ratings across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing round out a picture of steady, well-staffed care under nonprofit church ownership.
Frasier Meadows runs a leaner ship than most. Nurse staffing sits at 5.18 hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and weekend coverage barely dips, staying within about 7% of weekday levels. That consistency matters, because short weekend shifts are where care problems tend to hide. Staff turnover is 28.8%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents here tend to stick around. The record isn't spotless: seven deficiencies, two serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and three fines totaling $49,202. But a 4-out-of-5 inspection rating and a recent April 2024 inspection suggest those issues were addressed rather than ignored, and the quality measures themselves are strong.
Castle Peak runs a nonprofit home in Eagle with 44 beds and a staffing level that stands out: about 5.02 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 30% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage slips about 14% below the home's own weekday numbers, and turnover sits at 44.4%, just under the national 45.8%. That strong day-to-day staffing coexists with a mixed inspection record, 22 deficiencies, including 5 at the harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $23,580. The most recent inspection was September 19, 2024. Families weighing that inspection history against the staffing and quality marks should ask directly how the abuse-related findings were resolved.
The Suites at Clermont Park runs 4.47 nursing hours per resident day, about 16 percent above the national average, and its staff turnover of 36.8 percent sits well below the 45.8 percent national figure, a sign people tend to stay. Weekend staffing dips roughly 13 percent from weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your visits land on Saturdays or Sundays. State inspectors were last in on February 18, 2026, and the home carries 13 deficiencies on its current record, one of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse. Ownership is nonprofit. The one harm-level citation is the detail I'd want explained before deciding anything.
Health Center at Franklin Park runs on nonprofit ownership and a nurse staffing level of 4.02 hours per resident day, about 4% above the national average, which is the strongest thing it has going. Weekend coverage dips roughly 9% below weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 33.9%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The tradeoff shows up on inspections: 27 deficiencies on the current record, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, with one fine of $10,082. That last inspection was March 26, 2026. Strong staffing and steady retention, paired with a citation record worth asking about directly.
Grand River Health Care Center in Rifle runs a lean nonprofit ship, and the staffing numbers show it: 4.85 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more than the national average, with a five-star CMS staffing rating to match. Turnover sits at 40%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The catch is inspections. Eleven deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a single fine of $34,110. The last inspection was January 30, 2026. Weekends also run about 13% thinner than weekdays, so care can shift depending on when you visit. Strong hands on deck, uneven follow-through on the paperwork and safety side.
Sunny Vista Living Center runs a tight ship on staffing for a 116-bed nonprofit in Colorado Springs. Nurse coverage sits right at the national average of 3.86 hours per resident day, and turnover is where this home separates itself, 26.5% against a national average of 45.8% means caregivers are staying put, which usually shows up in how consistently residents get the same faces. Weekend staffing dips only about 4% below weekdays, a modest drop. The tradeoff is inspection history: 16 deficiencies on record, including one abuse-related finding, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. A July 2025 inspection is recent, and the 3/5 health inspection rating reflects that mixed record. Families weighing a move here should ask directly about that abuse citation.
Southeast Colorado Hospital Ltc runs on unusually heavy staffing for a nursing home: 6.36 nurse hours per resident day, roughly two and a half hours more than the national average, and that shows up as a five-star staffing rating even though weekend coverage dips about 17% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 37.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The tradeoffs are elsewhere. Fourteen deficiencies are on record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the quality measure rating is only 2 of 5, which suggests the clinical outcomes data isn't keeping pace with the hands-on care. State inspectors were last in on November 21, 2024.
Good Samaritan Society's Fort Collins Village runs 64 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, all sit at 4 out of 5. On paper, the staff hours tell a more mixed story: 3.49 hours per resident per day is about 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly 13% lighter than weekdays. Turnover, though, is a genuine bright spot at 38.2% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record is clean where it counts, 9 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, no abuse citations, and the most recent inspection was December 2025.
Crowley County Nursing Center runs 44 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and the nurse staffing works out to 3.58 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, and turnover sits at 46.8%, just above the national 45.8%. Its last inspection was February 27, 2024, and the current record shows 18 deficiencies, two of them at the harm or jeopardy level, with none tied to abuse. What holds the numbers up is the quality measure rating at 5/5 and staffing at 4/5; the health inspection star sits at 3/5.
The Village Care and Rehabilitation Center in Westminster runs on about 4.12 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 7% above the national average, and it carries a four-star staffing rating to match. Weekend coverage is the soft spot, about 16% thinner than weekdays, so if your family visits on a Saturday, expect fewer hands on deck. Staff turnover sits at 43.7%, a touch better than the national 45.8%. Inspections in December 2024 turned up 15 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none related to abuse. As a church-affiliated nonprofit, it answers to a mission rather than shareholders. Solid, not spotless.
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.
The Suites at Someren Glen runs a non-profit home in Centennial with 109 beds, and its nurse staffing sits about 20% above the national average, 4.63 hours per resident day against 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Turnover is the number that gives me pause: 51.8% of staff leaving in a year, higher than the 45.8% national rate, and that churn shows up in care even when the hours look good on paper. The inspection record carries 20 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus one fine of $36,446; the last inspection was April 2024.
Casey's Pond runs a solid ship on the clinical side. The Steamboat Springs nonprofit has a clean recent inspection, March 2024, with 20 deficiencies on record and none rising to harm or jeopardy, which is the part families should care about most. Nurse staffing sits at 4.37 hours per resident day, about 13% above the national average, though weekends run roughly 16% leaner than weekdays, so ask how that gap gets covered.
The real wrinkle is turnover: 61.8% annually against a national average of 45.8%. That's a lot of new faces for a 66-bed home, and it matters for whether your parent sees the same aide twice in a month.
Mountain Vista runs 168 certified beds in Wheat Ridge under nonprofit corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.08 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average of 3.86. But weekends dip about 6% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 65.9% against a national 45.8%, meaning nearly two-thirds of the nursing staff leaves each year.
The inspection record is where the real concern lives: 35 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 abuse-related, with three fines totaling $39,227. The most recent inspection was April 30, 2026. Quality measures score well, but the compliance history and churn tell a different story than the staffing hours alone suggest.
Valley Manor runs a church-affiliated nonprofit with 101 beds in Montrose, and its staffing is genuinely a bit better than most, 4.10 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with turnover at 40.3% versus 45.8% nationally. Weekends thin out, though, dropping roughly 14% below weekday coverage. The trouble sits in inspections: 28 deficiencies on the current record, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus 10 flagged as abuse-related and a $35,968 fine. That's a lot of paperwork for a home this size, and it's recent, the last survey was April 2026. Strong quality scores and decent staffing can coexist with real oversight problems; here they plainly do.
Good Samaritan Society's Loveland Village runs a mixed picture. The nonprofit home holds 104 certified beds, and its 3.39 nurse hours per resident day sit about 12% under the national average, thinner still on weekends, when staffing drops roughly 13% below its own weekday level. Turnover is a genuine bright spot at 35.2%, well below the 45.8% national figure, and residents' quality measures earn top marks.
The inspection record is where families should slow down. Sixteen deficiencies are on file, five serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $51,424. The most recent inspection came January 29, 2026, so the findings are recent, not stale.
Eben Ezer Lutheran Care Center runs a nonprofit home in Brush with 125 certified beds, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 4.22 nurse hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, with turnover at 40.4%, better than the 45.8% norm. Weekends run roughly 9% leaner than weekdays, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The harder reading is on inspections. Thirteen deficiencies sit on the current record, four of them at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, from an inspection dated August 2024. Strong direct-care hours don't cancel out serious findings on safety and oversight. Ask to see the plan of correction for those four harm-level citations before you decide.
Mount St Francis runs lean on nursing hours, 3.50 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage. That dip matters, since 55% of staff turned over in the past year versus about 46% nationally. Inspectors cited 20 deficiencies at the latest visit in March 2025; none rose to harm or jeopardy, but two were abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. The non-profit owner does earn a 4/5 staffing star from CMS, though the state's own quality and inspection scores sit at 2/5.
