Overview of Advanced Health Care of Colorado Springs

Twenty-three days. That average length of stay tells you what Advanced Health Care of Colorado Springs is built for. The 34-bed nursing home in Southeast Colorado Springs sits at 55 S Parkside Dr, 2 miles from the city center in a moderately walkable neighborhood (Walk Score 66), and it runs at 92% occupancy. The beds are almost always full, and the residents moving through them are largely on short-term post-acute stays.

Inpatient rehabilitation services are available on-site, 24-hour nursing care is in place, and total nursing staff time reaches 5 hours and 30 minutes per resident per day. Registered nurses account for just over an hour of that. Private suites, a library, a beauty salon, and transportation round out the setting. Meals come out of a kitchen running fresh and seasonal ingredients in a fine dining format.

State inspections have tended to center on operational areas: medication management, infection prevention and control, care planning, and fall prevention. The facility has operated under the Advanced Health Care brand for 8 years, with Robert Beckman as administrator.

Payment runs through Medicare and private pay; Medicaid is not accepted. Given the short average stay and the near-total Medicare payer mix, this rarely affects placement for the rehabilitation population this facility primarily serves, but families considering longer stays should account for it.

Advanced Health Care of Colorado can be described as a tight, high-occupancy short-stay nursing home that has settled into a clear clinical identity: post-acute rehabilitation for patients moving from hospital to home, in a smaller setting with consistent staffing depth.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Colorado

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 nursing home care?

Yes — Colorado Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 239 nursing homes in Colorado. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home 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 nursing homes 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.
