Overview of The Center at Lincoln

Don Quixote Enterprises operates The Center at Lincoln, a 96-bed nursing home located in Parker, Colorado. Having served the community for 15 years, the facility typically runs at about 91 percent capacity. Resident stays here average just nine days, pointing to an operational focus centered almost entirely on short-term post-hospital therapy and recovery. To handle the billing, the business office takes standard private payments and traditional Medicare.

The surrounding neighborhood is highly walkable, scoring an 89 out of 100, which makes it very convenient for visitors to run errands or walk around nearby on foot. Inside the building, the floor crew delivers an average of 3 hours and 38 minutes of direct nursing attention to each resident daily, split among RNs, LPNs, and aides. This team handles physical rehabilitation and intensive psychological care. The layout consists of private suites with individual bathrooms and adjustable beds, while daily life includes wireless internet, a hair salon, and chef-prepared meals.

State health and safety rules require regular monitoring of the facility, meaning inspectors visit the property for routine compliance checks. During these reviews, the management team is expected to keep all nursing protocols and structural systems aligned with state codes, ensuring the building stays fully up to date with regional operating standards.

Interested individuals can call the main intake desk to check on current room availability, ask about the short-term rehabilitation intake process, or arrange a time to visit the property.

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	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.	1h 7m per day	▲ 34% 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.	1h 29m per day	▲ 116% 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 38m per day	▲ 20% State avg: 2h 12m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing 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.	4h 43m per day	▲ 44% State avg: 3h 16m 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.	16m per day	▲ 213% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN 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.	47m per day	▲ 31% State avg: 36m per day · National avg: 28m per day
