Nursing homes across Denver County, Colorado, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
City Scape Rehabilitation & Care Center is a for-profit partnership in Denver with 60 certified beds, and the numbers tell a mixed story. The quality measure rating comes in at 5 out of 5, but that sits alongside a 1 out of 5 on health inspections, 36 deficiencies on the current record, including 6 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $59,543 and a July 2024 inspection. Nurse staffing runs about 6% below the national average at 3.63 hours per resident day, weekend coverage drops roughly 20% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 53.3% against a national 45.8%. Good quality scores don't offset thin weekend staffing and a long inspection record.
Highline Post Acute runs 125 beds in Denver under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.12 hours per resident day, about 19% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families tend to visit. Turnover is 43.3%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is the harder read: 36 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and $92,284 in fines across four penalties. The last inspection was August 15, 2024. Quality measures score mid-range, but the health inspection side is where the problems concentrate.
Westwood Post Acute carries 50 deficiencies on its current record, six of them serious enough to involve actual harm or jeopardy to residents. That's the kind of inspection history that lands a home in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, which means the government is watching it more closely than most. Staffing sits at 3.24 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 16 percent under the national average, and weekends run about 10 percent thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover is 50.7 percent, above the national 45.8 percent. The quality measure score looks strong, but it's built from reported data, not from how the place actually runs day to day. Inspectors were last in on April 25, 2025.
