Amberwood Post Acute runs 2.93 nursing hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip slightly below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 44.1%, about even with the national figure, so the issue here isn't retention, it's how many hands are on deck during a shift. The record shows 39 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a $9,636 fine and the most recent inspection in October 2024. Its quality measure rating is strong at 4 out of 5, but the staffing and inspection ratings both come in at 2, which is the tension worth weighing if you're considering this one.

Fountain View, a for-profit LLC operation with 90 certified beds in Colorado Springs, runs lean on nursing staff. At 3.04 hours per resident day, it sits roughly 21% under the national average, and weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday coverage. That schedule matters if your family visits on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover lands at 44.3%, close to the 45.8% national figure, so retention here isn't the standout problem. The current record shows 17 deficiencies, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. Its last inspection was September 2024, and CMS gave middle marks on health inspections and quality measures while staffing came in lowest.

Cherrelyn Healthcare Center runs 190 certified beds in Littleton under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing is the number that stands out. At 2.99 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 23% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover, at 36.2%, is actually better than the 45.8% national rate, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record is mixed: a recent January 2025 survey and a 4-star health inspection rating, but 37 deficiencies on file, including 7 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 abuse-related. Ask about weekend coverage and those harm-level findings directly.

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.

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.

Aviva At Fitzsimons runs a for-profit shop with 100 beds in Aurora, and the staffing numbers tell two stories at once. Aide and nurse time totals 4.92 hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average, which is real coverage on paper. What undercuts it is churn: 61.4% annual turnover against a national 45.8%, meaning a large share of the people providing that care are new or on their way out, and weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays. Inspectors have cited 24 deficiencies, two serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, and fined the home $14,743 across two penalties. The most recent inspection was October 2024.

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.

The Springs at St. Andrews Village in Aurora runs 3.64 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in the federal staffing rating of 1 out of 5, and 60% annual turnover means the aides and nurses working those shifts are often new. The 21 deficiencies on record include one at the harm level, with a $14,220 fine. Quality scores look strong at 5 out of 5, but that's largely self-reported MDS data, while the staffing number is payroll-verified. Worth asking how the home covers weekends.

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.
