Lakeside Post Acute runs 78 certified beds in Wheat Ridge under corporate ownership, and its staffing numbers sit below the national average, 3.25 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally, with weekends roughly 9% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 56.5%, well above the national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for your family member are cycling through faster than average. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, including three at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $14,058 and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. Quality measures score well, but that reflects charted care, not the hands available to deliver it.
Crestmoor Care Center runs 108 certified beds in Denver under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.87 hours per resident day, roughly 26% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot at 17%, well under the national 45.8%, meaning the staff who are there tend to stay. The inspection record is harder to read: 28 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a single $845 fine. The most recent inspection was February 2025, and CMS rated that inspection history 2 out of 5.
Rock Creek Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center in Monte Vista runs 60 certified beds under for-profit corporate ownership, and the federal numbers split in two directions. Quality measures look decent at 4 out of 5 stars, but staffing sits at just 1 star, and that gap matters more day to day than any resident satisfaction score. The inspection history is the harder read: 29 deficiencies on the current record, three of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, two tied to abuse, and $37,103 in fines across two penalties. The last full inspection was February 2024. If you're weighing this one, ask directly how they're fixing staffing before you ask about anything else.
Cambridge Care Center runs a leaner nursing floor than most. At 2.90 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly a quarter under the national figure of 3.86, and weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday coverage, the stretch when families often notice less attention. Turnover, though, is genuinely low at 32.8% against a 45.8% national average, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record is mixed: 16 deficiencies, including one at harm level and one abuse-related, plus $8,151 in fines, but the last survey was April 2024 and the health inspection rating still lands at 4 of 5 stars.
Allison Care Center runs about 3.44 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends drop another 9% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 27.9% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record is where it gets harder to defend: 18 deficiencies, three serious enough to cause harm, five tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $34,580, with the most recent inspection in March 2025. A for-profit LLC with 85 beds. Ask what those abuse deficiencies involved and how weekend coverage actually works.
Uptown Care Center runs a lean ship in a way that cuts both directions. Its 2.99 nurse hours per resident day sit roughly 22% under the national average, and weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. What stands out against that is a 17.6% turnover rate, well under the 45.8% national figure, meaning the staff who are there tend to stay. The inspection record is the weaker side: fifteen deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a $8,278 fine and a survey from August 2025.
Mount St Francis runs lean on nursing hours, 3.50 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage. That dip matters, since 55% of staff turned over in the past year versus about 46% nationally. Inspectors cited 20 deficiencies at the latest visit in March 2025; none rose to harm or jeopardy, but two were abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. The non-profit owner does earn a 4/5 staffing star from CMS, though the state's own quality and inspection scores sit at 2/5.
Larchwood Health and Rehab runs 130 certified beds in Grand Junction under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.40 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends are thinner still, down about 19% from its own weekday coverage, which is where gaps tend to show up.
The inspection record is the bigger concern: 38 deficiencies on file, including 4 at the harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $28,685 and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating point the same direction. The last inspection was April 2024, so that record is fairly recent. Ask about weekend coverage and how abuse allegations get investigated before you decide.
University Heights Care Center is a for-profit home in Aurora with 105 certified beds, and its numbers point in different directions. Inspectors have cited 50 deficiencies on its current record, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, and its health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5. Staffing tells a more mixed story: nurse hours run about 2.93 per resident day, roughly 24 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 15 percent below the home's own weekday levels, though turnover of 27.7 percent is well below the national 45.8 percent. The most recent inspection was in August 2025, and fines total $9,315.
Colorow Care Center runs 82 certified beds in Olathe under for-profit corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.73 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 10% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover is 48.7%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is the harder read: 21 deficiencies, 2 of them at harm or jeopardy level, 9 tied to abuse, and a $10,059 fine, with the last inspection in March 2024. CMS gives it 2 of 5 stars on health inspections, though its quality measure score is 5. Ask about the abuse deficiencies directly.
Brookside Inn runs 4.18 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday staffing. That cushion didn't translate into clean inspections: the current record shows 29 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and ten abuse-related, with two fines totaling $63,246. The last inspection was March 12, 2026. Staff turnover sits at 47%, slightly above the 45.8% national figure. Quality measures score well, but a one-star health inspection record with ten abuse-related citations is the number a family should weigh hardest here. Limited liability ownership means the operating entity, not a person, answers for it.
Riverdale Post Acute runs 105 beds in Brighton under corporate ownership, and its last inspection in March 2025 turned up 38 deficiencies, one at the harm level and six tied to abuse. That's a lot of unresolved history on the books for a single building. Nurse staffing sits at 3.13 hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average, and weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts come when families tend to visit. Turnover is 37%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in who's actually on the floor. The quality measure score looks strong, but inspect the numbers behind it against that inspection record before deciding.
Adara Living runs 210 certified beds in Broomfield under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.66 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends roughly 8% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is the bigger signal: 64.4% of staff leave annually against a national norm near 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents are often new to the building. The current inspection record carries 39 deficiencies, four serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy and four tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $48,954. CMS rated its health inspection one star out of five; the quality measures scored five. That gap is worth asking about directly, strong reported outcomes sitting on top of a weak inspection history and constant staff churn.
Colorado State Veterans Nursing Home - Rifle runs five stars' worth of nurse staffing, 4.12 hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, but the state-run home has real problems elsewhere. Twenty-one deficiencies sit on its current record, four of them at the harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and the health inspection score came back 1 out of 5 from the last visit in November 2024. Staff turnover lands at 48.7%, a few points above the national figure, and the weekend crew runs about 15% thinner than weekdays, which matters if your family tends to visit on Saturdays and Sundays. One fine of $32,975 is on file. Strong bedside coverage alone doesn't offset that inspection history.
City Scape Rehabilitation & Care Center is a for-profit partnership in Denver with 60 certified beds, and the numbers tell a mixed story. The quality measure rating comes in at 5 out of 5, but that sits alongside a 1 out of 5 on health inspections, 36 deficiencies on the current record, including 6 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $59,543 and a July 2024 inspection. Nurse staffing runs about 6% below the national average at 3.63 hours per resident day, weekend coverage drops roughly 20% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 53.3% against a national 45.8%. Good quality scores don't offset thin weekend staffing and a long inspection record.
Bruce McCandless Co State Veterans Nursing Home runs on a state government license with 105 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are its one real strength, 3.77 nurse hours per resident day, close to the national average of 3.86, and a four-out-of-five CMS staffing rating. The problem is what happens when staff leave: turnover sits at 60% against a national 45.8%, and weekend coverage drops about 14% below weekday levels. On the record side, 20 deficiencies include four at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with one fine of $81,520 and a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating from a January 2026 visit.
Trinidad Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs on thin nursing coverage, 3.27 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8% below what the home already staffs on weekdays. The results split sharply. Its quality measures score is perfect, but inspections tell a different story: 40 deficiencies on the current record, including four tied to abuse, with a two-out-of-five inspection rating and the most recent visit in June 2024. Turnover, at 33.8%, is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem looks less like retention than how many hands are scheduled. Under a for-profit LLC, that's worth asking about directly before you decide.
Rio Grande Rehabilitation runs 60 beds in La Jara under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.48 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, with weekends running another 8% below its own weekday levels. Turnover at 42.9% is slightly better than the national 45.8%, so the issue isn't retention so much as how many hands are actually on the floor each shift. The inspection record is the harder problem: 39 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $54,946. The most recent inspection came in April 2026. A 4/5 quality measure score exists alongside all this, but quality measures are self-reported while inspections are not.
Pikes Peak Post Acute runs 210 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers that stand out most aren't the quality scores, it's the workforce churn. Annual turnover hits 60.9%, well above the 45.8% national average, and nurse staffing sits at 3.61 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national figure. Weekend coverage dips another 9% below the home's own weekday levels.
The inspection record is heavier: 47 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $89,318. The most recent inspection was January 30, 2025, so the picture is current. Turnover that high plus a thin weekend floor is the combination families should ask about directly.
River Valley Rehabilitation runs lean on nursing staff, 2.79 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That gap matters most on weekends, when coverage drops roughly another 10% below the home's own weekday level, so the stretches with the least supervision are also the ones with the fewest hands on deck. State inspectors cited 29 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Annual turnover sits at 46.8%, a touch above the national figure, meaning familiar faces are not a given here. Ownership is for-profit and individual, and the last full inspection was in December 2024.
