All 6 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Las Cruces,
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.
Calibre Post Acute runs 120 certified beds in Las Cruces, and the staffing numbers tell a big part of the story: 3.72 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, with weekends roughly 13% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 52.7% against a 45.8% national figure, more than half the nursing staff leaving each year.
The inspection record is where things get serious. There are 91 deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level, and eight tied to abuse. CMS has placed this home in its Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the poorest performers. A 2024-11-06 inspection is recent, and the last inspection date is recent.
Las Cruces Wellness & Rehabilitation runs on a for-profit LLC model with 75 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.02 hours per resident day, roughly 4% above the national average of 3.86. That margin narrows on weekends, when coverage drops about 12% below the home's own weekday level, so the numbers you see on paper aren't evenly spread across the week. Annual turnover is 41.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still meaning more than two in five caregivers leaving each year. The inspection record is where the real weight sits: 59 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse. Its most recent inspection was July 2, 2024.
Casa Del Sol Center runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.52 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and the gap widens on weekends, when staffing drops roughly 19% below its own weekday level. That's the pattern that tends to matter most, since families often visit Saturday and Sunday. The bigger concern is turnover: 62.3% of nursing staff left over the past year, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for your relative are frequently new. Fifty-five deficiencies sit on the current record, two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was March 2025, so the picture is reasonably current.
Northrise Wellness & Rehabilitation runs 31 certified beds in Las Cruces under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing picture is genuinely mixed. Total nurse coverage sits at 4.88 hours per resident day, roughly 26% above the national average, but weekends drop about 19% below the home's own weekday level, and turnover is 76.7% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people providing that care are new to the building. The current inspection record shows 58 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse. State surveyors last visited in January 2025, and all three CMS star categories land at three out of five.
Casa De Oro Center in Las Cruces runs 158 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the numbers that matter most here aren't good. The health inspection record sits at the lowest federal rating, with 97 deficiencies on file, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and nine tied to abuse. That combination is why CMS has placed this home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the country's most troubled nursing homes, and the two fines totaling $68,554 reflect it. Staffing tells a quieter story: 3.44 hours per resident day lands about 11% under the national average, weekends run roughly 13% thinner than weekdays, and turnover sits at 58.5% against a national 45.8%.
Las Cruces Village runs 3.67 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 10% below what it manages on weekdays. That thin margin matters because staff turnover is 64.6% a year, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing most of the care are still relatively new. The inspection record shows 83 deficiencies, seven of them abuse-related, and CMS gave the health inspection domain its lowest rating; quality measures scored well, but that's largely a charting exercise. A recent June 2025 inspection means the findings are current, not stale. As a for-profit LLC with 94 beds, the numbers point to a building where care quality depends heavily on who happens to be on shift.
