Skylake Post Acute runs 242 certified beds in Thornton under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers are the first thing to notice. At 2.91 total nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 25 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 10 percent below its own weekday level, so coverage gets thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 35 percent is actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters for continuity of care. What pulls the record down is inspection history: 42 deficiencies on file, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 6 abuse-related, with a single fine of $25,572. The most recent inspection was December 2025, so the picture is current.

Ridgeview Post Acute runs on thin staffing. At 3.00 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 22% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 15% below its own weekday level, so the coverage gap widens exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 14 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, with the last inspection in July 2024. Turnover at 42.1% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, and the quality measure rating is strong at 5/5, meaning charted care metrics look good even as direct staffing lags. A for-profit corporate owner. If you're considering it, ask specifically how they cover weekends and what changed after those abuse findings.

North Shore Health & Rehab runs 120 beds in Loveland under for-profit LLC ownership. Its most recent inspection, in May 2024, ended with 19 deficiencies on record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though two were abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Nurse staffing sits at 3.57 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, and weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays, so coverage dips when families tend to visit. Staff turnover of 45.4% lands essentially even with the national rate, meaning the workforce churns about as much as anywhere else. The health and quality measure ratings both came in strong; staffing is the softer spot.

Lemay Avenue Health and Rehab runs about 4.03 nurse hours per resident each day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage dips roughly 9% below its own weekday level. The bigger concern sits in staffing stability: annual turnover hits 92.6%, more than double the national rate of 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents are, on average, new to the building. The inspection record itself is strong, with a 5/5 health inspection rating, seven deficiencies on file, one serious enough to involve harm, and $7,443 in fines from a single penalty. The most recent inspection was September 11, 2025. A for-profit corporate owner, 130 certified beds.

Columbine Manor in Salida runs on thin staffing. At 3.24 nurse hours per resident per day, it sits about 16% below the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 11% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The bigger number is turnover: 71.4% of nursing staff leaving in a year, against a national average of 45.8%. That churn means new faces, repeatedly, at a 112-bed corporate-owned home. What holds it up is oversight: a recent April 2026 inspection, 16 deficiencies on record with none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, plus strong quality and health inspection marks. The care problems here are staffing depth and consistency, not safety violations.

South Valley Post Acute Rehabilitation runs about 3.10 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 20% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops another 10% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 48.9%, a few points above the national figure. What keeps this Denver home's record from looking worse is its inspection history: 11 deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated January 29, 2026. The federal stars split the difference too, fours for health inspections and quality measures, but a two for staffing. Corporate-owned and certified for 106 beds.

Rehabilitation And Nursing Center Of The Rockies runs a 106-bed for-profit operation in Fort Collins, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stand out: 3.24 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 17% below its own weekday coverage. That thin margin matters more given 21 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a $21,721 fine. Turnover sits at 47%, slightly above the national figure. The quality measure score looks strong and the most recent inspection was in June 2025, so the picture isn't one-sided, but the inspection and staffing ratings both land at 2 out of 5, and that combination is what a family should ask about directly.

Mountain Vista runs 168 certified beds in Wheat Ridge under nonprofit corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.08 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average of 3.86. But weekends dip about 6% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 65.9% against a national 45.8%, meaning nearly two-thirds of the nursing staff leaves each year.
The inspection record is where the real concern lives: 35 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 abuse-related, with three fines totaling $39,227. The most recent inspection was April 30, 2026. Quality measures score well, but the compliance history and churn tell a different story than the staffing hours alone suggest.

Devonshire Care Center runs 84 certified beds in Sterling under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.40 hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent under the national average of 3.86. That gap widens on weekends, when coverage drops about 15 percent below the home's own weekday level, so a Saturday shift is thinner than a Tuesday one. The inspection record shows 29 deficiencies, four of them at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a single fine of $2,350 and a most recent inspection date of March 26, 2026. Staff turnover of 44.8 percent is marginally better than the 45.8 percent national figure, but it still means nearly half the nursing staff leaves each year.

Broadview Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 100 beds in Greeley under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely better than average, four stars on health inspections, five on quality measures, with the most recent look from state surveyors in February 2024. The problem sits underneath that: staffing earns one star, and 61.1% of staff turned over in a year against a national average near 46%. Fifteen deficiencies are on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. Strong marks on paper don't mean much if the people providing daily care keep leaving.

The Center at Centerplace runs 4.83 nurse hours per resident day, about a quarter more than the national average, so there are real hands on the floor during the week. Weekends slip roughly 11% below that weekday level, and nearly 69% of staff turned over in a year against a national rate near 46%, meaning the people providing that care keep changing. Inspectors cited 22 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to risk harm, with $39,384 in fines and a two-star health inspection. The quality measures look better than the inspection record, but under a for-profit LLC with that much turnover, the pattern to watch is consistency: who's actually there on a Sunday, and whether serious findings recur.

Malley Transitional Care Center runs 162 beds in Northglenn under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are where families should focus. At 3.36 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 13% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record backs that up: 29 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with one fine of $11,180. Last inspection was September 2024. The quality measure rating looks strong on paper, but quality scores and daily staffing don't always tell the same story here.

Walbridge Memorial runs on a hospital district license with 30 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.79 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, which is the strongest thing in its file. The catch is consistency: weekends drop about 7% below weekday coverage, and the inspection record carries 24 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to put a resident in harm's way, plus one tied to abuse. The last state visit was in December 2025, so the picture is current. One fine of $29,981 has been levied. Good daily staffing can't offset a pattern of serious findings, which is why the quality measure score lands low.

Sedgwick County Memorial runs a county-owned 32-bed home in Julesburg, and its nurse staffing looks strong on paper, 4.43 hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national average. That overall number hides a weekend gap of about 11% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit.
The inspection record is where the picture darkens. Fifteen deficiencies are on file, three of them serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, and one tied to abuse. Its last inspection was September 2025. Federal star ratings sit at 3 for health inspections but just 1 for quality measures and 1 for staffing, which suggests the hours logged aren't translating into measured outcomes.

Lowry Hills runs leaner on nursing hours than most homes, 3.30 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 38.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in who's actually at the bedside. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 50 deficiencies on file, eight serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse, all under for-profit individual ownership. The last state visit was May 2024, and fines total just $2,516, small money against a long list.

La Villa Grande runs lean on nursing hours, 3.24 per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average, and weekends dip another 15% below its own weekday coverage. That gap matters most when a resident needs help on a Saturday night.
The inspection record is the bigger concern: 33 deficiencies, four serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, two tied to abuse, and five fines totaling $89,269. A May 2025 inspection means the picture is current, not stale.
One genuine bright spot: turnover sits at 34.8%, well below the 45.8% national figure, so the staff who are there tend to stay. But steady staff can't stretch far when there aren't enough hours to go around.

Berthoud Care And Rehabilitation is a 76-bed for-profit home in Larimer County, and its record is split down the middle. The health inspection side is genuinely strong, a 5-star rating with no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, and a clean inspection as recently as June 2024. What pulls the overall picture down is staffing: 3.33 nurse hours per resident day sits about 14% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 14% below the home's own weekday levels, which is when families tend to visit and notice. Sixteen total deficiencies on record, one tied to abuse, plus a 2-star staffing rating, mean the people caring for residents are stretched thinner than at the average American nursing home.

Amberwood Post Acute runs 2.93 nursing hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip slightly below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 44.1%, about even with the national figure, so the issue here isn't retention, it's how many hands are on deck during a shift. The record shows 39 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a $9,636 fine and the most recent inspection in October 2024. Its quality measure rating is strong at 4 out of 5, but the staffing and inspection ratings both come in at 2, which is the tension worth weighing if you're considering this one.

Fountain View, a for-profit LLC operation with 90 certified beds in Colorado Springs, runs lean on nursing staff. At 3.04 hours per resident day, it sits roughly 21% under the national average, and weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday coverage. That schedule matters if your family visits on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover lands at 44.3%, close to the 45.8% national figure, so retention here isn't the standout problem. The current record shows 17 deficiencies, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. Its last inspection was September 2024, and CMS gave middle marks on health inspections and quality measures while staffing came in lowest.

Cherrelyn Healthcare Center runs 190 certified beds in Littleton under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing is the number that stands out. At 2.99 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 23% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover, at 36.2%, is actually better than the 45.8% national rate, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record is mixed: a recent January 2025 survey and a 4-star health inspection rating, but 37 deficiencies on file, including 7 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 abuse-related. Ask about weekend coverage and those harm-level findings directly.
