Health Center at Franklin Park runs on nonprofit ownership and a nurse staffing level of 4.02 hours per resident day, about 4% above the national average, which is the strongest thing it has going. Weekend coverage dips roughly 9% below weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 33.9%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The tradeoff shows up on inspections: 27 deficiencies on the current record, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, with one fine of $10,082. That last inspection was March 26, 2026. Strong staffing and steady retention, paired with a citation record worth asking about directly.

Grand River Health Care Center in Rifle runs a lean nonprofit ship, and the staffing numbers show it: 4.85 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more than the national average, with a five-star CMS staffing rating to match. Turnover sits at 40%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The catch is inspections. Eleven deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a single fine of $34,110. The last inspection was January 30, 2026. Weekends also run about 13% thinner than weekdays, so care can shift depending on when you visit. Strong hands on deck, uneven follow-through on the paperwork and safety side.

San Luis Care Center runs leaner on nursing hours than most homes, 3.49 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 15% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That gap matters if a family member needs help on a Saturday. The tradeoff is stability: turnover sits at 30.4%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. Twelve deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with an inspection completed in June 2024. It's a for-profit limited liability company, and the numbers land above average across staffing, inspections, and quality measures.

Pioneer Health Care Center in Rocky Ford runs 3.36 nurse hours per resident per day, about 13% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 10% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest staffing lands when families tend to visit. The inspection record shows 24 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with one fine of $10,033 and the last inspection in April 2024. Turnover sits at 44%, right around the national figure. What lifts this home is its quality measure score, which is strong despite the staffing gap.

Life Care Center of Pueblo runs 187 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.82 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets filled. Turnover is 35.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces. The tradeoff is the inspection record: 31 deficiencies, 5 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 abuse-related, with $23,590 in fines and a May 2024 inspection. Quality measures score well, but the harm-level findings are the part worth asking about directly.

Life Care Center of Aurora runs 166 beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are its strongest card: 4.16 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 8% above the national average. Turnover sits at 27.3%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere. Inspectors have logged 23 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and one fine of $33,222. Weekend staffing drops about 13% below weekday levels, so coverage isn't uniform across the week. A recent inspection and top marks on quality measures round out a home that's generally solid but has real compliance history worth asking about directly.

Life Care Center of Greeley runs a 124-bed for-profit operation with six deficiencies on its current record, and three of those reached the harm or jeopardy level, including one tied to abuse. That's the number a family should sit with, not the star ratings. Staffing sits at 3.82 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average, and weekends drop about 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the hours thin out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 42.7% is slightly better than the national 45.8%, and the most recent inspection was July 2024. One fine totaling $12,285 is on file.

Advanced Health Care of Aurora runs 4.95 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, so you're looking at roughly 28% more hands-on time than the typical home. Weekend coverage does dip about 10% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family tends to visit or need answers on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 31%, notably below the national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents are more likely to still be there next year. Seven deficiencies on record, one at harm level, none tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection was October 2024.

Brookdale Skyline runs 4.55 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 18% above the national average, and that staffing shows up in the five-star rating. Weekends drop about 20% from weekday levels, so ask how coverage holds up on a Sunday. Staff turnover sits at 53%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces. The inspection record is mixed: 17 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $9,110 fine. The most recent inspection was April 2025. Strong daily staffing, thinner weekends, and a citation history worth asking about directly.

Life Care Center of Evergreen runs a corporate-owned, 120-bed operation that just earned strong marks across all three federal ratings, with its most recent inspection in May 2025 finding no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level. Nurse staffing sits at 3.71 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 12% leaner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family member needs more attention on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover lands at 37.5%, which is meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, suggesting people tend to stay. Eleven total deficiencies on record, none abuse-related.

Center At Foresight in Grand Junction runs on unusually deep nurse staffing, 5.00 hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average, and its inspection record backs that up: six deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none tied to abuse. Weekend coverage dips about 14% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays, though the home's overall staffing still clears the national bar comfortably. Staff turnover sits at 46.7%, essentially matching the national average of 45.8%, so continuity of caregivers here looks typical rather than exceptional. The last inspection was March 2026, so the record is current.

Colorado Veterans Community Living Ctr At Homelake runs on unusually deep staffing for a 60-bed home, 5.08 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, with turnover at 23.7% against a national 45.8%. That stability shows: a five-star staffing rating and a five-star health inspection record, with the most recent survey in October 2024. The friction sits elsewhere. Nine deficiencies are on file, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, and the quality measure rating lands at two stars, the clinical outcomes side doesn't match the care hours. Weekend coverage also drops about 25% below weekday levels, so ask how that gap gets covered.

Lakewood Post Acute runs nurse staffing at 6.95 hours per resident day, roughly 80% above the national average, and that shows up in its four-out-of-five staffing rating. Weekend coverage drops about 17% below weekday levels, though, so care may thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 44.7%, essentially in line with the national rate. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 33 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, plus a $32,513 fine and a two-out-of-five health inspection rating, with the most recent inspection in March 2025. The strong quality measure score of five out of five doesn't cancel that out, it reflects clinical metrics, not how the building is run day to day.

Sunny Vista Living Center runs a tight ship on staffing for a 116-bed nonprofit in Colorado Springs. Nurse coverage sits right at the national average of 3.86 hours per resident day, and turnover is where this home separates itself, 26.5% against a national average of 45.8% means caregivers are staying put, which usually shows up in how consistently residents get the same faces. Weekend staffing dips only about 4% below weekdays, a modest drop. The tradeoff is inspection history: 16 deficiencies on record, including one abuse-related finding, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. A July 2025 inspection is recent, and the 3/5 health inspection rating reflects that mixed record. Families weighing a move here should ask directly about that abuse citation.

Briarwood runs 201 certified beds in Denver under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.90 hours per resident day, barely above the national average of 3.86, roughly a 1% edge. Weekends drop about 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the floor is thinner when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 44.3%, essentially matching the national rate of 45.8%. The current inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse. One fine totaling $9,110 is on file, and the last inspection was October 2024. Quality measures score high; the inspection history is where the problems concentrate.

Katherine and Charles Hover Green Houses runs 48 beds in Longmont as a nonprofit, and its staffing is the real story here: 5.23 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only about 5% below weekdays. That consistency matters more than most families realize. The caution side is turnover, at 53.9% against a national 45.8%, and an inspection record showing 13 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm level and 2 tied to abuse, plus six fines totaling $42,262. The most recent inspection was January 2026, so the record is current. Strong hands-on care, but ask directly about staff retention and those abuse-related findings.

The staffing numbers here are genuinely better than most: 5.43 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, which matters in a small 34-bed building. What tempers that is turnover at 53.3%, above the 45.8% national rate, and weekends running roughly 23% thinner than weekdays, so the coverage your family sees on a Tuesday may not be what shows up on a Sunday. Inspections are recent and clean where it counts: five deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with top marks on both the health inspection and quality measures. The lower staffing star reflects the churn, not the hours.

Southeast Colorado Hospital Ltc runs on unusually heavy staffing for a nursing home: 6.36 nurse hours per resident day, roughly two and a half hours more than the national average, and that shows up as a five-star staffing rating even though weekend coverage dips about 17% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 37.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The tradeoffs are elsewhere. Fourteen deficiencies are on record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the quality measure rating is only 2 of 5, which suggests the clinical outcomes data isn't keeping pace with the hands-on care. State inspectors were last in on November 21, 2024.

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.

Sundance Skilled Nursing in Colorado Springs runs 68 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits around 3.11 hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average, with weekends dipping another 14% below its own weekday levels. The current inspection record shows 27 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, plus a single fine of $14,901; that inspection was recent, dated February 2026. Turnover lands at 42.9%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, and CMS gives it 4 stars each for staffing and quality measures but only 2 for health inspections. The gap between those marks is the real story here: enough hands on most shifts, but a survey history that keeps finding problems.
