This home is ranked 37th out of 161 homes in Colorado.| Staff type | Hours / day | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 32m per day | ▼ 36% State avg: 50m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 48m per day | ▲ 17% State avg: 41m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 2h 3m per day | ▼ 8% State avg: 2h 13m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Total Nursing (Weekend)
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 2h 49m per day | ▼ 14% State avg: 3h 17m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 7m per day | ▲ 40% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
RN (Weekend)
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 19m per day | ▼ 47% State avg: 36m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
Most residents stay for extended periods and receive ongoing daily care.

In Colorado, the Department of Public Health and Environment, Health Facilities Division is the regulatory body that performs unannounced surveys and publishes facility inspection findings.
The data displayed corresponds to the last 6 years.
Inspections are mandatory, regular evaluations conducted by state health departments or regulatory agencies. They ensure the community provides safe, compliant care, covering areas like resident health, staff and management.
Deficiencies indicate regulatory issues. A higher number implies the facility had several areas requiring improvement.
This facility’s inspection record is mixed, with repeated failures to protect residents from physical abuse and inadequate supervision leading to serious injuries, including fractures and burns, documented as recently as October 20, 2025. Inspectors cited multiple deficiencies related to resident-to-resident abuse, fall prevention, and environmental safety, including pest infestations and medication errors, with substantiated complaints confirming harm and insufficient care planning. Despite some corrective actions, the facility’s issues with supervision, safety, and care consistency have persisted over multiple inspections from 2023 through 2025.
