Nursing homes across Laramie County, Wyoming, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Life Care Center Of Cheyenne runs 160 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly 13% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover lands at 41%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none tied to abuse. Its most recent inspection came in November 2025. Quality measures score well and inspections rate strongly, but the direct-care hours and that one high-level deficiency are the numbers worth asking about.
Granite Rehabilitation and Wellness runs 146 certified beds in Cheyenne under corporate for-profit ownership that changed hands within the past year. Nurse staffing sits at 3.51 hours per resident day, roughly 9 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 6 percent below the home's own weekday levels. Staff turnover, at 44.3 percent, is close to the national figure, so retention here isn't the outlier. What stands out is the inspection record: 25 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to signal harm or jeopardy, plus one fine of $15,548. A recent inspection date of March 2026 means the picture is current. The staffing star rating of 4 doesn't square neatly with those hours, which land below average, so weigh the inspection findings heavily.
Polaris Rehabilitation and Care Center is a for-profit home in Cheyenne with 105 certified beds, and the numbers tell a story worth paying attention to. Nurse staffing sits at 3.49 hours per resident day, about 10% under the national average, and it drops roughly 15% further on weekends, while annual turnover hits 69% against a national figure of 45.8%. That churn matters at the bedside. The inspection record is the sharper concern: 39 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and a $62,647 fine. CMS has placed this home in its Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems. The most recent inspection was January 15, 2026.
