Lakewood Post Acute runs nurse staffing at 6.95 hours per resident day, roughly 80% above the national average, and that shows up in its four-out-of-five staffing rating. Weekend coverage drops about 17% below weekday levels, though, so care may thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 44.7%, essentially in line with the national rate. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 33 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, plus a $32,513 fine and a two-out-of-five health inspection rating, with the most recent inspection in March 2025. The strong quality measure score of five out of five doesn't cancel that out, it reflects clinical metrics, not how the building is run day to day.

Briarwood runs 201 certified beds in Denver under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.90 hours per resident day, barely above the national average of 3.86, roughly a 1% edge. Weekends drop about 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the floor is thinner when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 44.3%, essentially matching the national rate of 45.8%. The current inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse. One fine totaling $9,110 is on file, and the last inspection was October 2024. Quality measures score high; the inspection history is where the problems concentrate.

The staffing numbers here are genuinely better than most: 5.43 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, which matters in a small 34-bed building. What tempers that is turnover at 53.3%, above the 45.8% national rate, and weekends running roughly 23% thinner than weekdays, so the coverage your family sees on a Tuesday may not be what shows up on a Sunday. Inspections are recent and clean where it counts: five deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with top marks on both the health inspection and quality measures. The lower staffing star reflects the churn, not the hours.

Sundance Skilled Nursing in Colorado Springs runs 68 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits around 3.11 hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average, with weekends dipping another 14% below its own weekday levels. The current inspection record shows 27 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, plus a single fine of $14,901; that inspection was recent, dated February 2026. Turnover lands at 42.9%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, and CMS gives it 4 stars each for staffing and quality measures but only 2 for health inspections. The gap between those marks is the real story here: enough hands on most shifts, but a survey history that keeps finding problems.

Western Hills runs a tight inspection record, zero deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent state visit came in late February 2024. The catch is the abuse-related citations: four of them sit on the current record, which is worth asking about directly, since those don't require actual harm to be written up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.74 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, a pattern families notice on Saturday afternoons. Turnover at 42.7% is slightly better than the national figure, and the corporate owner is for-profit, so ask where the money goes.

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.

Garden Terrace runs 120 certified beds in Aurora under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers hold up reasonably well, 3.92 nurse hours per resident day sits just above the national average, and turnover at 31.6% is well below the 45.8% typical elsewhere, which matters for whether your family sees the same faces month to month. Weekend coverage drops about 10% from weekday levels, so visit timing is worth thinking about. Inspections came back at 4 of 5 stars and the most recent was May 2025, but the record shows 12 deficiencies, 4 of them abuse-related, none at harm or jeopardy level. That mix is the real story here.

Life Care Center of Colorado Springs runs on more nursing hours than most homes, 4.16 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and that staffing holds up reasonably well on weekends, dipping about 12% rather than collapsing. Turnover sits at 43.8%, a hair better than the national 45.8%, so the faces here aren't churning quite as fast as elsewhere. The catch is the inspection record: 10 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to put residents at real risk of harm, and $45,171 in fines. A February 2026 inspection is recent enough to take seriously. Strong daily care, but the mistakes that did occur were not minor ones.

Coal Creek runs a genuinely strong staffing operation, 5.64 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 46% above the national average, and its inspection and quality measure ratings both hold up well, with a recent inspection in August 2025. The catch is who stays. Annual turnover of 62.2% is well above the national 45.8%, which means a lot of the hands providing that above-average care are still learning the building, and weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekday levels. Twenty-two deficiencies sit on the record, one of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none are abuse-related. It's a for-profit corporate home that's doing the hard part right on paper.

The Center at Northridge runs 4.77 nurse hours per resident day, about 23% above the national average of 3.86, and turnover sits at 40.7%, lower than the 45.8% national figure. Weekend staffing dips roughly 12% below its own weekday levels, a gap worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Its current record shows 15 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in April 2024. This is a for-profit LLC with 96 certified beds, and the state survey history is where it separates itself: a five-star inspection rating and a five-star quality measure rating, though staffing comes in at four.

Orchard Park runs 4.08 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, and its inspection record, quality measures, and staffing each land at four stars. One caveat sits underneath that: weekends run roughly 16% leaner than weekdays, so the coverage your family sees on a Tuesday may not be what shows up on a Sunday. Staff turnover is 50% against a national 45.8%, meaning about half the nursing team turns over in a year. Twelve deficiencies are on record, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, with the last inspection in May 2024.

Valley View runs leaner than most homes on direct nursing time, 3.15 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping about a fifth below its own weekday coverage. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit and problems surface. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 42 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, which points to real problems with how residents are protected, not paperwork slip-ups. Turnover at 38.8% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, and the quality measure score suggests clinical care is tracked well. One fine of $8,281 is modest. Ask about weekend staffing and how abuse allegations get investigated.

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.

The Center at Lincoln runs about 4.87 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and its staffing and quality measure ratings both sit at 4 out of 5 stars. That's the good news, and it's real. But the inspection record tells a different story: 29 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a 2-star health inspection rating and a survey as recent as November 2024. Turnover lands at 46.2%, essentially the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 9% from weekday levels. Parker families weighing this one should ask pointed questions about those abuse and harm citations before deciding.

Highland Park Rehabilitation & Care Center runs 110 certified beds in Aurora under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.60 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends run roughly 11% leaner than weekdays, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover is 40.7%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the same faces are more likely to stay. Inspections in December 2024 turned up 22 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, which is worth asking about directly. The quality measures look strong; the inspection record is where the questions live.

Lakeshore Post Acute runs on thinner staffing than most homes nationally, 3.38 nurse hours per resident day against a 3.86 average, and weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 44.1%, slightly better than the national 45.8%, so the crew that's there tends to stay. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 30 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. A 5/5 on quality measures and 3/5 on inspections tells you the clinical outcomes look solid when care happens, but the staffing margin is narrow enough that a bad weekend could strain it. The most recent state visit was August 2025.

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.

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.

Brookdale Greenwood Village has a staffing story that looks good on paper, 4.31 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, but the weekend gap matters. Care drops about 12% below its own weekday level, so a Saturday fall gets less coverage than a Tuesday one. Turnover sits at 48.7%, above the national norm, which means many of the aides working weekends are still learning the building and its residents. The inspection record is the harder read: 32 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. The quality measures score 5 out of 5, and the last inspection was in April 2026. Those two numbers pull in opposite directions, and the deficiency count is the one that reflects actual cited problems.
