Nursing homes across Montrose County, Colorado, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Valley Manor runs a church-affiliated nonprofit with 101 beds in Montrose, and its staffing is genuinely a bit better than most, 4.10 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with turnover at 40.3% versus 45.8% nationally. Weekends thin out, though, dropping roughly 14% below weekday coverage. The trouble sits in inspections: 28 deficiencies on the current record, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus 10 flagged as abuse-related and a $35,968 fine. That's a lot of paperwork for a home this size, and it's recent, the last survey was April 2026. Strong quality scores and decent staffing can coexist with real oversight problems; here they plainly do.
Hope Springs Care Center runs on thin nursing coverage: 3.29 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 8% leaner than weekdays. That shortfall matters more when nearly two-thirds of the nursing staff turns over each year, 64.8% versus 45.8% nationally, because replacements take time to learn residents' routines. The record backs this up. Thirty-five deficiencies, five of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and three tied to abuse, plus nine fines totaling $87,079, and a health inspection star rating of just 2 out of 5. Quality measures score well at 4, but that's the piece families can't independently verify the way they can ask about weekend coverage.
Colorow Care Center runs 82 certified beds in Olathe under for-profit corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.73 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 10% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover is 48.7%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is the harder read: 21 deficiencies, 2 of them at harm or jeopardy level, 9 tied to abuse, and a $10,059 fine, with the last inspection in March 2024. CMS gives it 2 of 5 stars on health inspections, though its quality measure score is 5. Ask about the abuse deficiencies directly.
