Overview of Farmington Wellness & Rehabilitation

Farmington Wellness & Rehabilitation is a 50-bed nursing facility that Welbrook Senior Living LLC operates at 201 Nelson Avenue in downtown Farmington, New Mexico. It sits in a really walkable neighborhood where errands and essential services are within walking distance, a feature that can simplify visits for family members. Medicare and private pay are accepted, giving families flexibility in funding care costs.

The short average stay duration of 19 days indicates this is primarily a rehabilitation and post-acute care setting. It’s tailored to support occupants healing from surgery, hospitalization, or illness before returning home or to longer-term care. Rehabilitation services are a core focus, and the facility offers respite care for families needing short-term support. The home operates with 24-hour staffing and maintains a total of roughly 5 hours 38 minutes of nursing care per resident day, with registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses all contributing to daily care. A certified dietitian manages the kitchen and oversees nutritionally balanced meals tailored to meet individual health needs. With an occupancy rate around 44 percent, the community has room for new residents.

State inspections over recent years have flagged issues primarily focused on medication management protocols and storage practices, along with food safety, respiratory care supply handling, and incident documentation completeness.

To know how Farmington Wellness & Rehabilitation ensures accuracy and safety in medication administration and record-keeping, families may want to ask about such areas when touring.

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.

vs avg

Standout metric Physical Therapist is +49% 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. 34m per day ▼ 9% State avg: 37m 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. 44m per day ▲ 3% State avg: 43m 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. 1h 31m per day ▼ 32% State avg: 2h 14m 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. 2h 27m per day ▼ 21% State avg: 3h 7m 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. 7m per day ▲ 49% 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. 25m per day ▼ 9% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 28m per day
