Every Medicare-certified nursing home in Colorado, graded on inspections, staffing, turnover
and enforcement history.
6 homes in the state sit in the federal Special Focus programme.
Springs Village Care Center runs 91 certified beds in Colorado Springs under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.17 hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 57% against a national 45.8%, so consistent hands are hard to keep. The inspection record shows 35 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with a $26,845 fine and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating. A 4/5 quality measure score doesn't offset staffing and compliance concerns, especially with the last survey only dated May 2025.
Parker Post Acute runs 154 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 20% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families tend to visit. Turnover is 36.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents. The inspection record is the real concern: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 28 deficiencies on file, five at harm or jeopardy level, and two tied to abuse. One fine totaling $17,342. The most recent inspection was March 2026, so that record is current, not stale.
McIntosh Care and Rehabilitation Center runs on 3.00 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 22% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 14% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage shows up in a 2-out-of-5 staffing rating and a 50% annual turnover rate, higher than the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses who remain are stretched, and the ones who leave take familiarity with residents with them. The inspection record carries 20 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus one $14,015 fine; the most recent inspection was March 19, 2026. The 3-out-of-5 marks on health inspections and quality measures are middling, not alarming on their own, the staffing numbers are the part worth pressing on during a visit.
Pine Ridge runs lean on nursing hours: 2.59 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a third less bedside time, and weekends are thinner still by about 10%. That shortfall sits behind its lowest federal staffing rating, and 56.3% annual turnover means the aides and nurses who are there keep changing. The quality measure score looks strong, but surveys tell a harder story: 22 deficiencies on record, two at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with $22,895 in fines and an inspection as recent as February 2026. A for-profit LLC operating 60 beds with that inspection history deserves your questions before a move-in.
Yampa Valley Healthcare Center runs 58 certified beds in Craig, and it's owned by a for-profit corporation. The staffing numbers are mixed: 3.39 nurse hours per resident per day lands about 12% under the national average of 3.86, but turnover sits at 45.5%, essentially matching the national rate, and weekend coverage only dips about 3% below weekday levels. So consistent hands, fewer of them. The inspection record is the real concern, 40 deficiencies, 10 serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, 3 tied to abuse, and $120,965 in fines across three penalties. Combine that with the two-out-of-five inspection and quality ratings and a survey from late 2024, and the pattern is clear.
City Park Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center runs 125 beds in Denver under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.95 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the one number that beats the norm: 30.7% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. The inspection record is the harder part, 39 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and six tied to abuse, with a $8,278 fine and a survey completed in January 2026.
Rock Canyon runs on lean staffing: 2.80 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. The 41 deficiencies on record include 7 at the harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, and three fines total $89,938. Annual turnover of 49.1% sits slightly above the national 45.8%, which means caregivers cycle through faster than average. The quality measure star (4/5) looks strong on paper, but that score reflects reported clinical metrics, not the hands available at the bedside.
Villas At Sunny Acres runs 160 certified beds in Thornton under corporate for-profit ownership, and its 3.06 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit roughly 21% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover is the one number that looks better than most, 30.6% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record is where the concern sits: 28 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, with a $19,988 fine and a 2/5 health inspection rating, though the most recent survey came in April 2025.
Red Cliffs Post Acute runs 89 certified beds in Grand Junction under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice. At 3.11 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 19% under the national average, and weekend coverage dips roughly 7% below its own weekday level, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover of 54.4% is nearly nine points above the national figure, which means unfamiliar faces are routine. The inspection record shows 43 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in January 2025.
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.
Good Samaritan Society's Loveland Village runs a mixed picture. The nonprofit home holds 104 certified beds, and its 3.39 nurse hours per resident day sit about 12% under the national average, thinner still on weekends, when staffing drops roughly 13% below its own weekday level. Turnover is a genuine bright spot at 35.2%, well below the 45.8% national figure, and residents' quality measures earn top marks.
The inspection record is where families should slow down. Sixteen deficiencies are on file, five serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $51,424. The most recent inspection came January 29, 2026, so the findings are recent, not stale.
Mountain View Post Acute runs 180 certified beds in Colorado Springs under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nursing staff delivers 3.10 hours of care per resident each day, roughly a fifth less than the national average of 3.86. Weekends thin out further, running about 11 percent below the home's own weekday numbers, and more than half the nursing staff (54.2 percent) turns over annually against a national rate of 45.8 percent. The inspection history is the harder read: 57 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, drawing a $29,224 fine. The most recent inspection came in December 2025. Strong quality-measure scores don't offset a staffing and compliance picture like that.
Vista Grande runs on thin nursing coverage: 2.82 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a quarter below it, and weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday level. The quality measure score of 5 out of 5 sits in odd tension with a 2-star inspection record carrying 22 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $36,023. Staff turnover at 39.6% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so retention isn't the problem here, headcount is. The last inspection was in May 2024. The corporation owns it for profit.
Eben Ezer Lutheran Care Center runs a nonprofit home in Brush with 125 certified beds, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 4.22 nurse hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, with turnover at 40.4%, better than the 45.8% norm. Weekends run roughly 9% leaner than weekdays, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The harder reading is on inspections. Thirteen deficiencies sit on the current record, four of them at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, from an inspection dated August 2024. Strong direct-care hours don't cancel out serious findings on safety and oversight. Ask to see the plan of correction for those four harm-level citations before you decide.
Riverbend runs about 20% below the national average on nurse staffing, 3.08 hours per resident day, and weekends drop roughly 9% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 43.8%, slightly better than the national 45.8%, which suggests the problem isn't retention so much as how many hands are scheduled. The health inspection record shows 18 deficiencies, three of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. Its last inspection was April 30, 2026, so that picture is current. Under a for-profit LLC, the numbers point to a home that's adequately watched but thinly staffed.
Falcon Heights runs lean on nursing hours: 3.05 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 13 percent below its own weekday staffing. That combination is a big part of why CMS gives it one star for staffing. Turnover sits at 47.9 percent, slightly worse than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people around a resident change often. The inspection record shows 36 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and five abuse-related, with a two-star inspection rating and $6,146 in fines. Ownership changed within the last year. The five-star quality measure score reflects charted care items, not the staffing and inspection problems above.
Pueblo Heights runs on 2.88 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 8% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That thinner coverage matters more when turnover sits at 55.6%, ten points above the national rate, because replacements are constantly learning residents who need consistent hands. The record shows 26 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $30,707. The owner changed within the last year, and the last inspection was July 2024. Ask what that ownership change has meant for staffing and who now runs the floor on weekends.
Progressive Care Center runs about 3.00 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 22% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 12% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage shows up in the staffing star rating, which sits at 2 out of 5, even though resident outcomes on the quality measures look stronger at 4 out of 5. The 22 deficiencies on the current record include 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse; the most recent inspection was November 7, 2024. Staff turnover, at 38%, is actually lower than the 45.8% national figure.
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.
Wellsprings Care Center runs 81 beds in Englewood under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd flag. At 2.92 nurse hours per resident per day, it's roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 55.4% against a national 45.8%, which means a lot of unfamiliar faces. The 38 deficiencies on record include nine tied to abuse, though none reached the harm or jeopardy level. Its last inspection was in September 2025, so the record is recent, not stale.
