Our read on Skies Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center

Skies Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center runs 120 certified beds in Albuquerque under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers split in a way families should look at closely. The quality measure star sits at 4 out of 5, meaning the home's own reported data on things like pain and mobility looks good. But staffing is 1 out of 5, well below what CMS expects, and health inspections also come in at 1 out of 5, with 81 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. A single fine of $30,409 is on file, and the last inspection was January 8, 2026. Good self-reported outcomes mean little if there aren't enough hands on deck.
