All 5 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Westminster,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Clear Creek Care Center runs 80 certified beds in Westminster under for-profit LLC ownership. Its nurse staffing sits at 3.42 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover is 54.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for your relative are often new to the building. The health inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse; that inspection was in March 2024. The quality measure rating of 5/5 stands out against that inspection history, and it's worth asking how the two line up.
The Center at Northridge runs 4.77 nurse hours per resident day, about 23% above the national average of 3.86, and turnover sits at 40.7%, lower than the 45.8% national figure. Weekend staffing dips roughly 12% below its own weekday levels, a gap worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays.
Its current record shows 15 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in April 2024.
This is a for-profit LLC with 96 certified beds, and the state survey history is where it separates itself: a five-star inspection rating and a five-star quality measure rating, though staffing comes in at four.
The Village Care and Rehabilitation Center in Westminster runs on about 4.12 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 7% above the national average, and it carries a four-star staffing rating to match. Weekend coverage is the soft spot, about 16% thinner than weekdays, so if your family visits on a Saturday, expect fewer hands on deck. Staff turnover sits at 43.7%, a touch better than the national 45.8%. Inspections in December 2024 turned up 15 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none related to abuse. As a church-affiliated nonprofit, it answers to a mission rather than shareholders. Solid, not spotless.
Life Care Center of Westminster runs about 120 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits essentially at the national average, 3.87 hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 13% below what the building staffs on weekdays, and annual turnover of 52.3% means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, well above the 45.8% national figure.
The inspection record is where the real weight sits: 29 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $47,398. The last inspection was May 2025, so that picture is current, not stale. Quality measures score well, but strong chart numbers don't offset harm-level findings or thin weekend coverage.
Park Forest Care Center runs on 2.61 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops about 9% below its own weekday level. The inspection record shows 32 deficiencies, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with one fine of $24,840 and a June 2025 inspection. Resident outcome measures and staffing both land at the lowest federal rating. With a for-profit corporate owner, 103 certified beds, and serious findings across care and safety, the numbers here point to a home where you would want to ask hard questions before moving anyone in.
