Nursing homes across Jefferson County, Colorado, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Cambridge Care Center runs a leaner nursing floor than most. At 2.90 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly a quarter under the national figure of 3.86, and weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday coverage, the stretch when families often notice less attention. Turnover, though, is genuinely low at 32.8% against a 45.8% national average, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record is mixed: 16 deficiencies, including one at harm level and one abuse-related, plus $8,151 in fines, but the last survey was April 2024 and the health inspection rating still lands at 4 of 5 stars.
Allison Care Center runs about 3.44 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends drop another 9% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 27.9% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record is where it gets harder to defend: 18 deficiencies, three serious enough to cause harm, five tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $34,580, with the most recent inspection in March 2025. A for-profit LLC with 85 beds. Ask what those abuse deficiencies involved and how weekend coverage actually works.
The Lodge At Red Rocks carries 64 deficiencies on its current record, and 8 of those reached harm or jeopardy level. Seven are abuse-related. That's the kind of pattern that put this home in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, and the inspection history backs it up, 1 out of 5 stars on health inspections, with four fines totaling $144,259. Staffing sits at 3.71 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below the home's own weekday coverage. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company. The quality measure rating is 3 out of 5, but that's the one bright spot in an otherwise rough picture.
