Overview of The Center at Northridge

Facebook

Owned by Edward Smith, The Center at Northridge is a skilled nursing home on Pecos Street in Westminster, Colorado. The home’s primary focus is short-term rehabilitation and recovery. Patients recovering from surgery or transitioning from a hospital stay make up much of the resident population. The 96-bed community operates at 94% occupancy. Residents stay an average of about 10 days due to its post-acute setting. Medicare and private pay are accepted, giving families flexibility when covering recovery costs.

Staffing is a central part of the care model. Residents receive an average of 3 hours and 31 minutes of nursing care each day. They are supported by registered nurses who provide about 1 hour and 5 minutes of direct care. Nurse aides contribute 2 hours and 20 minutes, while licensed practical nurses add another 1 hour and 11 minutes, and that layered staffing structure gives residents comprehensive hands-on support throughout the recovery process.

The home focuses on physical rehabilitation and psychological care. Clinical rehabilitation services are paired with attention to each resident’s emotional well-being during treatment. That’s a dual focus that recognizes both the physical and mental sides of recovery, and short-term care settings benefit from addressing these dimensions.

Private suites and private bathrooms are available for residents. Rooms include fully adjustable hospital beds, flat-screen televisions, and free wireless internet. There’s an on-site beauty salon. Dining services are led by an Executive Chef who prepares fine cuisine, which are healthy and satisfying gourmet meals rather than institutional food.

The neighborhood’s Walk Score is 27, and it’s somewhat walkable. A few nearby services may be reachable on foot, but most trips require transportation. Families selecting short-term post-acute care with strong staffing support and attention to both clinical recovery and daily comfort will find The Center at Northridge a great option.

Quality ratings

Measured by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

Overall rating Info The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Health Inspection Info Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Staffing Info Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Quality Measures Info Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

Standout metric Physical Therapist is +118% above state avg
Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info 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 5m per day ▲ 30% State avg: 50m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info 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 11m per day ▲ 74% State avg: 41m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info 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 20m per day ▲ 6% State avg: 2h 12m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info 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 4m per day ▲ 25% State avg: 3h 16m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info 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. 11m per day ▲ 118% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info 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. 55m per day ▲ 53% State avg: 36m per day · National avg: 28m per day
