What to ask about before you visit

  • $26,891 in federal fines

    CMS has fined this facility across 2 penalty action(s).

  • Nursing staff turnover of 96%

Our read on Columbine West Health And Rehab Llc

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.
