The Suites at Someren Glen runs a non-profit home in Centennial with 109 beds, and its nurse staffing sits about 20% above the national average, 4.63 hours per resident day against 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Turnover is the number that gives me pause: 51.8% of staff leaving in a year, higher than the 45.8% national rate, and that churn shows up in care even when the hours look good on paper. The inspection record carries 20 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus one fine of $36,446; the last inspection was April 2024.

The Rehabilitation Center at Sandalwood runs about 3.57 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 10% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Its record shows 23 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 1 tied to abuse, plus a $46,150 fine. The last inspection was February 2026. That said, this isn't a home with bad clinical outcomes on paper: the 5/5 quality measure rating suggests wounds, falls, and similar measures look strong, and the 4/5 staffing star reflects that 3.57 figure. The tension is between good outcome scores and a citation history that includes two serious findings.

Littleton Care And Rehabilitation Center sits at 35 certified beds, run by a for-profit limited liability company. The inspection history is genuinely strong on paper, a five-star health inspection rating and a five-star quality measure rating, with the most recent survey completed in February 2026. But that record carries 10 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $7,781 fine. Staffing tells its own story: 3.56 nurse hours per resident day lands about 8% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 14% below the home's own weekday coverage. Fewer aides on Saturday and Sunday matters most when residents need help then.

Staff turnover

Serious cites
0

Hampden Hills runs 3.17 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 18% leaner, with weekends about 7% thinner than weekdays. The trade-off is retention: 22.6% annual turnover looks good next to the 45.8% national figure, so whoever is on the floor tends to stay. The current record carries 42 deficiencies, one abuse-related, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was January 2025, recent enough to trust. Ownership is a for-profit corporation, so margin pressure is a fair thing to keep in mind.

Wheatridge Care Center is a 65-bed for-profit home in Jefferson County, and its numbers pull in different directions. The clinical quality measures look strong, but staffing tells a harder story: 3.34 nurse hours per resident day is about 13% under the national average, weekend coverage drops roughly 7% below its own weekday level, and half the nursing staff turned over in a year, worse than the 45.8% national rate. Inspections back that up, a 2-star health inspection rating, 21 deficiencies on record including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, and $20,616 in fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection was June 12, 2025. A limited liability company owns it. Good quality scores, thin and turnover-heavy staffing, and a rough inspection history.

Denver North Care Center runs on 2.89 nurse hours per resident day, and that's roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops another 10% below what the home manages on weekdays, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 35.2%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure and suggests the workforce is more stable than most. The current record shows 32 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none reached the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection came in December 2025. Quality and staffing each earned 4 of 5 stars from CMS, while health inspections landed at 3.

Holly Care Center runs 45 beds in Prowers County under for-profit LLC ownership, and its last inspection closed out in August 2024 with 10 deficiencies on record, none of them tied to harm, jeopardy, or abuse, which is the part that matters most when you're weighing safety. The staffing picture is where it gets thinner: 2.93 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 7% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the low point in the week is lower still. Turnover sits at 45.8%, matching the national figure, not a red flag on its own, but worth asking about, because constant churn is what families feel in daily care.

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.

Bear Creek Senior Living runs 45 certified beds in Colorado Springs under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing tells a mixed story. At 3.26 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 16% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 13% below its own weekday coverage, so care gets thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover, though, is 33.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. Inspections are recent, and the record shows 11 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm, with a single $6,614 fine and nothing abuse-related.

Lakewood Villa runs 3.10 nurse hours per resident day, about 20 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops roughly 6 percent below its own weekday level. The 21 deficiencies on record include five at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with $40,006 in fines and a December 2024 inspection behind them. The quality measure score comes in at the top of the range, but that number reflects resident health outcomes, not the hands available to deliver care. Staff turnover sits at 46.3 percent, essentially matching the national rate, so continuity isn't unusually bad here, the gap is raw hours per resident. Ask about weekend coverage specifically.

Nurse staffing at The Center At Cordera runs about 4.8 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, but weekends drop about 13 percent below its own weekday level, so coverage isn't evenly spread across the week. Annual turnover sits at 68 percent against a national 45.8 percent, most of the people caring for your family member will be new to the building within a year or so. The health inspection record shows 35 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to put a resident in harm's way, plus one fine of $8,600. Quality measures score well, but staffing consistency and the inspection history are what pull the overall picture down.

Julia Temple Healthcare Center runs 128 certified beds in Englewood under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.79 hours per resident day, roughly 2% under the national average of 3.86. That gap is small, but weekend coverage drops about 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the hours your family member gets on a Saturday may look thinner than what the numbers suggest on paper. The current inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, none flagged at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, worth asking about directly. The last inspection was December 10, 2024, so the record is recent. Three stars each on inspections, quality measures, and staffing points to a home that is neither struggling badly nor standing out.

Casey's Pond runs a solid ship on the clinical side. The Steamboat Springs nonprofit has a clean recent inspection, March 2024, with 20 deficiencies on record and none rising to harm or jeopardy, which is the part families should care about most. Nurse staffing sits at 4.37 hours per resident day, about 13% above the national average, though weekends run roughly 16% leaner than weekdays, so ask how that gap gets covered. The real wrinkle is turnover: 61.8% annually against a national average of 45.8%. That's a lot of new faces for a 66-bed home, and it matters for whether your parent sees the same aide twice in a month.

Holly Heights runs lean on nursing hours: 2.92 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekday coverage. That thin staffing shows up in the inspection record too, 23 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with a $9,249 fine on file. Turnover, at 34.4%, is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem isn't retention so much as how few hands are scheduled per shift. Resident outcome measures score well, but a 2/5 on health inspections and staffing under a corporate for-profit owner is the picture worth weighing if you're comparing options.

Peaks Care Center runs about 3.43 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 11 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 12 percent below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 38.7 percent, which is actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure, suggesting staff tend to stay longer than at many for-profits. The ownership is a for-profit LLC, and the current record carries 19 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none are abuse-related. Its last inspection was April 9, 2026, and all three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, staffing, come in at 3 out of 5.

Life Care Center of Longmont runs 187 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.01 hours per resident day, about 4% above the national average of 3.86. That edge narrows on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 11% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover is 45.2%, essentially matching the national 45.8%. The current inspection record carries 29 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus one fine of $32,860. The last inspection was March 12, 2026, and CMS gives the home 2 out of 5 stars on health inspections, 5 on quality measures, and 3 on staffing.

Regent Park Care Center runs on 2.33 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 40% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage shows up in the staffing star rating, which sits at 1 out of 5, even as the home's inspection and quality scores come in at 4 and 5. Turnover is the bright spot: 25.9% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. The record isn't clean, though, five deficiencies, including one involving harm or jeopardy and two tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $14,837. Its last inspection was November 2024.

Forest Ridge runs about 3.58 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 10% below its own weekday coverage. Annual turnover sits at 52.9% against a national 45.8%, so more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Recent inspections in early 2026 and four-star ratings on health inspections and quality measures are real strengths, but the staffing gap and that harm-level finding are what pull it down.

Mapleton Post Acute runs 90 certified beds in Lakewood under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are where your attention should go first. At 3.18 nurse hours per resident day, it sits well under the national average, and weekends dip about 15% below its own weekday level, meaning the thinnest coverage lands exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 50% means roughly half the staff you'd meet this year won't be there next year, which is hard on residents who need familiar faces. The inspection record carries 28 deficiencies, including three tied to abuse and one serious enough to put a resident in harm's way. The most recent state visit was December 2024, so that record is recent, not stale.

Arvada Care And Rehabilitation Center runs 54 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its strongest numbers are on the clinical side, the federal quality measure rating sits at 5 out of 5, and the health inspection rating is 4 out of 5, following a survey completed in March 2025. Staffing is where the picture softens. At 3.46 nurse hours per resident day, this home is about 10% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly another 15% below its own weekday levels. Seventeen deficiencies sit on the current record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with $8,018 in fines. Nothing here points to abuse, but families should ask directly how weekend coverage is handled.
