Overview of Hillcrest Care Center

Owned by Wray Community Long Term, Hillcrest Care Center is a 45-bed skilled nursing community in Wray, Colorado, a rural setting in Yuma County about 75 miles northeast of Denver. Accepted are Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, so families have multiple routes to cover short-term rehabilitation and longer-term nursing care. With a 75 percent occupancy rate, the community serves residents with an average stay of 386 days, showing a mix of post-acute rehabilitation and longer-term residents. That longer average stay signals a stable population. Here, lots of residents choose to stay for ongoing care instead of moving elsewhere after initial recovery.

Clinically, Hillcrest Care Center puts the spotlight on rehabilitation and nursing services, the core feature being 24-hour on-site staffing. Daily nursing care averages 4 hours and 15 minutes per resident, complemented by registered nurses (45 minutes per day), nurse aides (2 hours 8 minutes per day), and licensed practical nurses (42 minutes per day). This staffing structure bolsters hands-on daily care along with monitoring and skilled procedures. The home delivers rehabilitation services alongside daily companionship and offers transportation assistance for residents needing help with appointments or errands outdoors. Situated on Canyon Ridge Drive, the community is in a moderately walkable area with a Walk Score of 57. Some errands are reachable on foot, but most outings necessitate a quick drive, typical of rural Colorado communities where visiting family members may see the need to rely on a car.

5 of 6 metrics below 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. 48m per day ▼ 3% 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. 35m per day ▼ 15% 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 10m per day ■ Avg 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. 3h 9m per day ▼ 4% 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. 0m per day ▼ 97% 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. 35m per day ▼ 4% State avg: 36m per day · National avg: 28m per day
