Staff turnover

Liberty Heights runs a tight ship on the floor: 4.48 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% above the national average, with a 5-star staffing rating to match. Turnover sits at 23.4%, roughly half the national rate of 45.8%, which matters more than any single number here, it means familiar faces, not a rotating cast. Weekends dip about 9% below weekday coverage, worth asking about. The trouble is inspections: 16 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $39,035 fine. A July 2025 inspection is recent, and the 2-star health inspection rating reflects what surveyors found. Strong hands, shaky paperwork.

Brookdale Skyline runs 4.55 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 18% above the national average, and that staffing shows up in the five-star rating. Weekends drop about 20% from weekday levels, so ask how coverage holds up on a Sunday. Staff turnover sits at 53%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces. The inspection record is mixed: 17 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $9,110 fine. The most recent inspection was April 2025. Strong daily staffing, thinner weekends, and a citation history worth asking about directly.

Sunny Vista Living Center runs a tight ship on staffing for a 116-bed nonprofit in Colorado Springs. Nurse coverage sits right at the national average of 3.86 hours per resident day, and turnover is where this home separates itself, 26.5% against a national average of 45.8% means caregivers are staying put, which usually shows up in how consistently residents get the same faces. Weekend staffing dips only about 4% below weekdays, a modest drop. The tradeoff is inspection history: 16 deficiencies on record, including one abuse-related finding, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. A July 2025 inspection is recent, and the 3/5 health inspection rating reflects that mixed record. Families weighing a move here should ask directly about that abuse citation.

Staff turnover

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.

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.

The Center at Centennial runs 4.49 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% above the national average, and its last health inspection came back in October 2024 with a four-star result. That's real coverage on paper. The catch is consistency: weekends run roughly 12% leaner than weekdays, and turnover sits at 51.6% against a national average of 45.8%, so the people providing that above-average staffing keep changing. Twenty deficiencies sit on the current record, three of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none are abuse-related. Solid clinical quality scores and steady survey results, backed by staffing that's above average in volume but thinner on Sundays and always rebuilding.

The Healthcare Resort Of Colorado Springs runs 97 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.80 hours per resident day, roughly 24% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real cushion, though weekends dip about 17% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. The harder numbers are on the inspection side: 21 deficiencies on the current record, including one at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. A $79,098 fine stands against that, and the last inspection was June 26, 2025. Staff turnover runs 54.3% against a national 45.8%, which means a lot of the people providing that above-average staffing are relatively new. Quality measures score well; the inspection history is what pulls the overall picture down.

Gardens, The runs 45 beds in Colorado Springs under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a 5/5 health inspection rating, just three deficiencies on file with none reaching harm or jeopardy level, and a survey as recent as December 2025. The catch is staffing. At 3.04 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 21% under the national average, weekends run roughly 13% lighter than weekdays, and annual turnover hits 56.1% against a national 45.8%. One abuse-related deficiency also appears on the record. Read those two sides together: the care processes look well-managed when inspectors show up, but the people delivering that care turn over fast and thin out on weekends.

Bear Creek Senior Living runs 45 certified beds in Colorado Springs under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing tells a mixed story. At 3.26 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 16% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 13% below its own weekday coverage, so care gets thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover, though, is 33.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. Inspections are recent, and the record shows 11 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm, with a single $6,614 fine and nothing abuse-related.

Nurse staffing at The Center At Cordera runs about 4.8 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, but weekends drop about 13 percent below its own weekday level, so coverage isn't evenly spread across the week. Annual turnover sits at 68 percent against a national 45.8 percent, most of the people caring for your family member will be new to the building within a year or so. The health inspection record shows 35 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to put a resident in harm's way, plus one fine of $8,600. Quality measures score well, but staffing consistency and the inspection history are what pull the overall picture down.

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.

Springs Village Care Center runs 91 certified beds in Colorado Springs under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.17 hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 57% against a national 45.8%, so consistent hands are hard to keep. The inspection record shows 35 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with a $26,845 fine and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating. A 4/5 quality measure score doesn't offset staffing and compliance concerns, especially with the last survey only dated May 2025.

Medallion Post Acute Rehabilitation runs on 3.25 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 16% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 15% below its own weekday levels. That thin staffing shows in the numbers: a 55.6% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, and 25 deficiencies on the current record, seven serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, one abuse-related. Four fines total $86,723. The last inspection was August 2024, so the record is fairly recent. This is a for-profit LLC with 60 beds, and the pattern across staffing, turnover, and inspection history is consistent rather than isolated.
