Nursing homes across Morgan County, Colorado, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Valley View Villa sits right at the national average for nurse staffing, 3.88 hours per resident day against 3.86, so the five-star staffing rating comes from how those hours are used, not from having more of them. Weekend coverage drops about 11% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. The numbers that stand out are a 29.3% turnover rate, well under the 45.8% national figure, and a clean five-star inspection record going back to December 2024, with five deficiencies total and one at the harm level. For a for-profit corporate home with 120 beds, that's a steady operation.
Eben Ezer Lutheran Care Center runs a nonprofit home in Brush with 125 certified beds, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 4.22 nurse hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, with turnover at 40.4%, better than the 45.8% norm. Weekends run roughly 9% leaner than weekdays, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The harder reading is on inspections. Thirteen deficiencies sit on the current record, four of them at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, from an inspection dated August 2024. Strong direct-care hours don't cancel out serious findings on safety and oversight. Ask to see the plan of correction for those four harm-level citations before you decide.
South Platte Rehabilitation and Nursing in Brush runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.38 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 9% below its own weekdays. That shortfall shows up in the staffing rating, and the 64.7% annual turnover means the aides and nurses at the bedside are often new. Its inspection record carries 18 deficiencies, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $49,843. Ownership is a for-profit LLC with 78 certified beds. The last state inspection was October 8, 2024. Quality measures score mid-range, but staffing and safety are where families should focus questions.
