All 3 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.
Carroll Lutheran Village runs 72 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing sits at 3.89 nurse hours per resident day, just barely above the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets covered. Turnover is the stronger number: 33.7% against a national average of 45.8%, which suggests a more stable crew than most places manage. The inspection record shows 34 deficiencies, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse, and the most recent survey was in June 2025, so the picture is current.
Atlee Hill runs 60 beds in Westminster under for-profit LLC ownership, and its last health inspection was recent enough to be worth noticing. The record isn't clean: 67 deficiencies, including three tied to abuse and one at the level where actual harm or jeopardy occurred, plus a $14,888 fine. Staffing sits at 3.79 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is the number that would nag at me, 53.2%, against a national norm of 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves within a year. CMS rates the quality measures well and staffing decently, but the inspection history and churn tell a more mixed story.
Westminster Rehabilitation and Wellness Center runs 170 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are where your attention should go first. Nurse coverage sits at 3.57 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 10% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover of 52.8% tops the national rate of 45.8%, which matters because residents see a rotating cast rather than familiar faces. The inspection record is heavier: 70 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and 12 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $63,681. The March 2025 inspection is recent, so the record is current, not stale.
