Nursing homes across San Juan County, New Mexico, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Life Care Center of Farmington runs 144 beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.40 hours per resident per day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is 33%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The current inspection record shows 43 deficiencies, including four at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $108,231 in fines across three penalties. The most recent inspection was May 2025. Ask about weekend coverage and how those abuse-related findings were resolved.
Cedar Ridge Inn is a for-profit limited liability company in Farmington with 101 certified beds, and its recent inspection history is the strongest thing it has going. The last survey was in February 2025, and the health inspection rating comes in at 4 out of 5 stars. The catch is staffing: 3.14 nurse hours per resident day runs about 19% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 10% below the home's own weekday levels. Turnover at 40.9% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability. But 29 deficiencies sit on the current record, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and the two fines total $35,406.
San Juan Care Center runs on thin staffing: 3.16 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops another 13% below its own weekday level. Annual turnover sits at 52.9%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing that care are often new. The inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, none at the harm level but one abuse-related, with the most recent visit in June 2025. Ownership is for-profit corporate. The high inspection stars suggest the building itself is being run carefully when surveyors arrive; the low staffing stars suggest there frequently aren't enough hands.
Bloomfield Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs on 2.98 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday staffing. That thinner weekend coverage matters in a 95-bed building, because licensed nurses are the people who catch changes before they become hospital trips. Staff turnover sits at 54.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing workforce turns over in a year. Inspections in January 2026 turned up 44 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus two fines totaling $73,226. Corporate-owned, for-profit, mid-range on every CMS measure, the numbers describe a home that passes minimums without much cushion.
Farmington Wellness & Rehabilitation runs 4.34 nurse hours per resident per day, about 13 percent above the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13 percent below its own weekday coverage. That gap matters more when two of every three workers are leaving each year, turnover sits at 66.7 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the familiar faces on Saturday may not be familiar for long. The inspection record is clean where it counts: zero deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, nothing abuse-related, and the most recent survey came in May 2026. Sixteen total deficiencies still add up, and a for-profit limited liability company owns the place.
Aztec Healthcare runs on 2.75 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 29% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 5% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage shows in the numbers: 72.1% annual turnover against a national 45.8%, 37 deficiencies on the current record including six at the harm level and two abuse-related, and four fines totaling $105,228, with the last inspection on June 7, 2024. The corporation that owns it is for-profit. The five-star quality measure rating stands out against a one-star staffing rating and a two-star inspection rating, but quality measures alone don't cover gaps in daily care.
