Nursing homes across Douglas County, Colorado, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Vi at Highlands Ranch runs 5.89 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly half again the national average of 3.86, and the weekend dip is mild at about 8 percent. The current record shows three deficiencies, none of them involving harm or abuse, and the last inspection was September 2024. Turnover sits at 43.2 percent, slightly better than the 45.8 percent national figure, against a 24-bed for-profit corporate operation. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, come in at five out of five, which lines up with what the numbers show: strong daily coverage, a clean inspection history, and staffing that holds up through the weekend.
Continuing Care At Wind Crest runs a 44-bed nonprofit home in Highlands Ranch, and its staffing is the headline: 5.11 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 48.5%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure, so continuity of caregivers isn't guaranteed. The inspection record is strong, the most recent look was in August 2024, with seven deficiencies logged, none causing harm or jeopardy and none related to abuse.
The Center at Lincoln runs about 4.87 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and its staffing and quality measure ratings both sit at 4 out of 5 stars. That's the good news, and it's real. But the inspection record tells a different story: 29 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a 2-star health inspection rating and a survey as recent as November 2024. Turnover lands at 46.2%, essentially the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 9% from weekday levels. Parker families weighing this one should ask pointed questions about those abuse and harm citations before deciding.
Silver Heights runs on 2.90 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 8% below what it manages on weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 46.5%, essentially matching the national figure of 45.8%, so this isn't a retention crisis, it's a staffing volume question. The current record shows 30 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but four tied to abuse, which is the number I'd ask about directly. The last inspection was April 2025, so the picture is recent. A limited liability company owns it for profit. Quality measures score well; the day-to-day nurse presence is where the gap lives.
Life Care Center of Stonegate runs 120 beds in Parker under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing math is genuinely better than most: 4.78 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 12% below weekdays, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere. Staff turnover sits at 57%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and 19 deficiencies on record include two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse. A single fine of $17,342 has been levied, and the last inspection was October 2024. Strong quality measure scores and low staffing stars don't cancel out a two-star inspection record.
Parker Post Acute runs 154 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 20% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families tend to visit. Turnover is 36.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents. The inspection record is the real concern: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 28 deficiencies on file, five at harm or jeopardy level, and two tied to abuse. One fine totaling $17,342. The most recent inspection was March 2026, so that record is current, not stale.
Brookside Inn runs 4.18 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday staffing. That cushion didn't translate into clean inspections: the current record shows 29 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and ten abuse-related, with two fines totaling $63,246. The last inspection was March 12, 2026. Staff turnover sits at 47%, slightly above the 45.8% national figure. Quality measures score well, but a one-star health inspection record with ten abuse-related citations is the number a family should weigh hardest here. Limited liability ownership means the operating entity, not a person, answers for it.
