Cedars Healthcare Center

Cedars Healthcare Center in Lakewood runs 130 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers pull in different directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.18 hours per resident day, roughly 18% below the national average of 3.86, but the staff who are there tend to stay, with turnover at 26.7% against a national 45.8%. The real concern is the inspection record: 41 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, four abuse-related, and two fines totaling $55,908, with the most recent inspection in March 2024. Strong quality and staffing scores don't cancel out that history. If you're considering this home, ask directly what changed since that March inspection.

La Villa Grande Care Center

La Villa Grande runs lean on nursing hours, 3.24 per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average, and weekends dip another 15% below its own weekday coverage. That gap matters most when a resident needs help on a Saturday night. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 33 deficiencies, four serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, two tied to abuse, and five fines totaling $89,269. A May 2025 inspection means the picture is current, not stale. One genuine bright spot: turnover sits at 34.8%, well below the 45.8% national figure, so the staff who are there tend to stay. But steady staff can't stretch far when there aren't enough hours to go around.

Cherrelyn Healthcare Center runs 190 certified beds in Littleton under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing is the number that stands out. At 2.99 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 23% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover, at 36.2%, is actually better than the 45.8% national rate, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record is mixed: a recent January 2025 survey and a 4-star health inspection rating, but 37 deficiencies on file, including 7 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 abuse-related. Ask about weekend coverage and those harm-level findings directly.

Springs Village Care Center runs 91 certified beds in Colorado Springs under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.17 hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 57% against a national 45.8%, so consistent hands are hard to keep. The inspection record shows 35 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with a $26,845 fine and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating. A 4/5 quality measure score doesn't offset staffing and compliance concerns, especially with the last survey only dated May 2025.

Abuse icon on record

Willow Tree Care Center runs 80 certified beds in Delta under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers worth your attention are the ones a family can't see on a tour. Nurse staffing sits at 3.31 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below the home's own weekday level, which matters if your visits happen to fall on a Saturday or Sunday. Annual turnover of 59.7% means most of the aides and nurses caring for your relative will be gone within a couple of years, well above the 45.8% national figure. Behind the current inspection record sit 52 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, seven tied to abuse, and a $44,240 fine.

Abuse icon on record

Skyline Ridge runs on thin staffing: 3.10 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 67.6%, roughly half again the national rate, which means the people caring for your family member are often new or on their way out. The inspection record shows 36 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, with a $21,320 fine. Two stars on health inspections and two on staffing tell you the state has found real problems and coverage stays light. It's worth asking what's changed since September 2024.

Abuse icon on record

Mantey Heights runs about 19% leaner on nurse staffing than the national average, 3.12 hours per resident day against 3.86, and it thins out further on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 8% below its own weekday level. That staffing picture gets harder to defend alongside a 58.3% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, because residents see a rotating cast rather than a consistent crew. The inspection record is the heavier concern: 55 deficiencies on file, seven of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus nine tied to abuse. Three fines totaling $117,284 have followed. Whatever the quality measures show, the people responsible for daily care here are stretched thin and constantly changing.
