Our read on Monument Healthcare Cottonwood Creek

Monument Healthcare Cottonwood Creek runs 77 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.51 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 11% lighter than its own weekdays.
