The facility is privately owned and operated by Devona Schumann and provides skilled nursing, post-acute rehabilitation, long-term care, Alzheimer’s care, and respite services to residents in Douglas County. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
CMS rates Brookside Inn at 2 stars overall, mainly because of its Health Inspection score, which is 28.6% below the Colorado average. Since 2021, the facility has had a total of 16 citations across four inspections — an average of 4 per inspection compared to the state’s mean of 5.2. This places the facility 59th out of 182 Colorado skilled nursing facilities on that measure.
Of the 16 citations, 14 came from standard inspections and 2 from complaint investigations. The citation breakdown includes 6 in Abuse, Neglect & Exploitation (38%), 3 in Quality of Life & Care, 2 in Resident Rights, 1 in Infection Control, and 1 in Administration. None reached critical severity; 2 were classified serious and 14 moderate. A single $1,000 civil money penalty was assessed on March 6, 2025 — well below Colorado’s average fine of $40,000 among facilities with penalties.
Staffing is the facility’s genuine strength. Total nursing hours run 4 hours and 40 minutes per resident per day — 21% above the Colorado average of 3 hours and 51 minutes, ranked 23rd of 177 Colorado SNFs. Nurse aide hours are 2 hours and 31 minutes per day, above the state average of 2 hours and 12 minutes. Weekend total nursing holds at 4 hours and 8 minutes, 27% above the state figure. The 4-star CMS Staffing rating reflects consistent direct-care investment.
Brookside operates a Clinical Recovery Program, Alzheimer’s Care track, and dedicated Therapy Services alongside its post-acute rehabilitation pathway. Culinary Services and Complementary and Alternative Modalities round out the lifestyle offering. An average length of stay of roughly 3.7 years and a 94% occupancy rate — well above the Colorado average of 76.5% — indicate stable, ongoing demand.
Families who are evaluating Brookside Inn should ask directly about the citations since 2021, the civic money penalty issued in March 2025, and what changes were made after those issues before making a placement decision.
Overview of Continuing Care at Wind Crest
Continuing Care at Wind Crest is a 44-bed skilled nursing and continuing care community in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, operated by National Senior Communities, Inc. The facility offers nursing home care, assisted living, memory care, and independent living — a full continuum on a single campus serving Douglas County.
CMS has awarded Wind Crest a 5-star overall rating, placing it 57.7% above the Colorado average. All three component ratings — Health Inspection, Staffing, and Quality Measures — are each rated 5 stars, a distinction achieved by a small number of Colorado SNFs across the board.
Staffing is a clear differentiator. Total nursing hours run 5 hours and 2 minutes per resident per day, ranked 19th of 177 Colorado SNFs against a state average of 3 hours and 51 minutes — 31% higher. RN hours are especially notable at 1 hour and 43 minutes per resident per day, more than double the Colorado average of 50 minutes. That level of registered nurse presence reflects meaningful clinical oversight for residents with complex care needs.
The inspection record over three standard surveys (December 2021, March 2023, August 2024) produced 7 total citations — 2.33 per inspection against a Colorado average of 5.2, ranking 8th of 182 Colorado nursing homes. All 7 citations were moderate in severity, none critical or immediate-jeopardy, and all were corrected. The most recent inspection in August 2024 cited one nutrition-related deficiency, and two quality-of-care citations appeared in March 2023. The facility has incurred $0 in fines across the review window.
The facility’s occupancy rate is 97% — 43 of 44 beds filled — ranked 4th statewide out of 185 Colorado facilities. That figure, against a Colorado average of 76.5%, reflects consistent local demand. Wind Crest accepts Medicare and private pay but does not participate in Medicaid. On-campus amenities include a fitness center, indoor aquatics space, and scenic walking paths.
Continuing Care is best suited to residents seeking short-term rehabilitation, memory care, or respite care. Families seeking a community with high staffing in Highlands Ranch will find this community a strong fit.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Colorado
What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Colorado?
Assisted living in Colorado supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.
What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Colorado?
Assisted living in Colorado is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.
Does Colorado Medicaid cover assisted living?
Colorado Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Colorado) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
What is assisted living?
Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?
This page features 615 assisted living facilities in Colorado. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.
How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Colorado?
Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Colorado, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.
What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Colorado?
Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
