CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the federal agency that regulates nursing homes) Overall 5-star rating — a composite of Health Inspection, Staffing, and Quality Measures scores. 5 stars = top 10% nationally. 1 star = bottom 10%. The single most important number to start with when comparing facilities.

|
Neighborhood or city area where the facility is located. Proximity to family, hospitals, and green space matters for both quality of life and ease of visitation. Consider drive time and transit access when evaluating location.
|
Licensed bed capacity. Larger facilities (300+ beds) often have more specialized programs but can feel institutional. Smaller homes (under 150 beds) tend to deliver more personalized care. Compare with Avg Res/Day to understand how full the facility typically runs.
|
Percentage of licensed beds filled on an average day. Color indicates financial health: green (90%+) = operationally strong, typically profitable. Amber (80–89%) = stable but leaving revenue on the table. Orange (70–79%) = financial strain likely, may struggle with fixed costs. Red (<70%) = significant distress, closure or ownership change risk increases sharply.
|
This facility's occupancy rate compared to the statewide average for similar facilities. A positive number means above-average demand. Facilities running 5%+ above the state average are typically the most sought-after in their market — a strong proxy for reputation.
|
CMS-adjusted total nurse hours per resident per day (RN + LPN + CNA combined). The national average is approximately 3.5 hrs. Higher is better — more direct care time per resident. Below 3.0 is a red flag. CMS weights RN hours more heavily because RNs handle complex clinical decisions that CNAs cannot.
|
CMS Health Inspection star rating (1–5 stars), based on the 3 most recent annual state surveys plus any complaint investigations. This is the hardest rating to manipulate — it reflects real surveyor findings on-site. 5 stars = fewest deficiencies found. 1 star = most. It carries the heaviest weight in the Overall CMS rating.
|
CMS Staffing star rating (1–5 stars), based on daily nurse staffing hours submitted to CMS via verified payroll data. Compares RN, LPN, and CNA coverage relative to resident acuity level. 5 stars = well above expected staffing. Weekend staffing is evaluated separately, as that's where many facilities quietly reduce coverage.
|
CMS Quality Measures star rating (1–5 stars), based on 15 clinical outcome metrics including fall rates, pressure ulcers, antipsychotic drug use, and hospital readmissions. Captures actual resident health outcomes, not just compliance. High QM combined with low Health Inspection scores can indicate a facility with strong care but weak documentation practices.
|
Registered Nurse hours per resident/day compared to the statewide average. RNs are the highest-skilled nursing staff — they assess residents, manage medications, and respond to emergencies. A value of +50% means RN coverage is 50% above the state norm. Negative values are a concern for residents with complex or acute medical needs.
|
Total nursing staff hours (RN + LPN + CNA combined) per resident/day vs. the statewide average. A broader measure than RN vs State — it captures the entire care team. A facility can have high total staffing but low RN hours, meaning more aides and fewer nurses. Read both columns together for the full picture.
|
Total dollar amount of federal monetary fines (civil money penalties) issued by CMS in the past 3 years. Fines are only levied for serious violations — typically actual harm to residents, repeated uncorrected deficiencies, or systemic non-compliance. Even a single fine is noteworthy. Multiple fines strongly suggest a pattern, not isolated incidents.
|
Total health deficiency citations from the most recent standard inspection cycle. Minor citations (scope A–C) are common and often administrative in nature. Higher counts aren't always disqualifying, but should be read alongside Severe Citations to understand actual harm levels. Under 10 is strong for a large facility; 30+ warrants a closer look.
|
Average deficiency citations per CMS inspection (survey) in the reporting window — total citations divided by the number of inspections. Lower is better; compare alongside total Citations and Severe Citations for context.
|
Citations at CMS scope/severity level G or higher — G–I means actual harm occurred; J–L means residents were placed in immediate jeopardy. (D–F is potential for harm only). Examples include unaddressed falls, medication errors causing injury, neglect, or abuse.
|
Average number of residents in the building on any given day, derived from annual census data. Reflects true operating scale — a 400-bed facility running 200 residents/day operates very differently from one at 390. Higher resident counts generally mean more funded staffing hours.
|
Better Business Bureau rating (A+ to F). Reflects complaint history, business transparency, and how family disputes were resolved. A+ means no significant unresolved complaints. A blank (—) means the facility isn't BBB-accredited, which is common for healthcare providers and not necessarily a negative signal.
|
Walk Score® (0–100). Measures walkability of the surrounding area. 90–100 = Walker's Paradise. 70–89 = Very Walkable. 50–69 = Somewhat Walkable. Below 50 = Car-Dependent. Higher scores benefit family visitors, resident outings, and staff commuting.
|
The licensed owner or operator of record filed with CMS — the individual or organization legally accountable for the facility. Searching the operator name across other facilities can reveal chain or multi-site ownership, which matters: chain-operated homes tend to have more variable quality outcomes than independently run facilities.
|
What the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts — not gross billings. Taken from the latest complete annual cost report, so it is comparable across homes reporting the same period. Revenue alone doesn't indicate care quality, but it funds staffing and capital reinvestment. Pair with Payroll %. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
|
Staff salaries plus wage-related benefits from the latest complete annual cost report. Contract and agency labour is counted separately, under other operating costs, so a home leaning on agency staff can show a low figure here. Payroll is the cost most directly tied to care quality — compare with Payroll % for full context. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
|
Payroll as a share of NET PATIENT REVENUE (not gross revenue). Both figures come from the same cost-report year. A higher figure means more of each revenue dollar goes to staff pay. Read with the Staffing star rating to judge whether spend translates into coverage — and note that homes whose patient revenue covers only part of their operation can read implausibly high. The New Mexico average is: 51.7% Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.

Operated by owner Kenneth Goldblatt, Calibre Post Acute is a skilled nursing home in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The mid-sized community has 120 beds and an 82 percent occupancy rate, with residents averaging 442 days in the facility. It takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, giving families several ways to cover short-term rehabilitation and longer-term skilled care needs.
Calibre Post Acute’s clinical focus centers on rehabilitation and wound management. An aggressive wound care program, diabetic care management, and IV therapy are core offerings, anchored by pain management groups and CPM (continuous passive motion) therapy for occupants recuperating from surgery or managing chronic conditions. Total nursing care averages 4 hours 6 minutes per resident day, with 24-hour staffing and dedicated 24/7 RN coverage. This ensures clinical needs are consistently attended. Such a staffing level reflects a dedication to hands-on nursing support all the time. The car-dependent Sagecrest Avenue location has a zero Walk Score, so visiting families and residents need transportation for community outings and medical appointments outside the home. The facility, however, offers monthly outings for occupants, and private and semi-private room choices accommodate different preferences and needs.
Consistently, state health inspections have marked opportunities to improve medication management practices, documentation accuracy, and clinical assessment completeness. Such areas require careful attention, and families considering Calibre Post Acute should ask directly about existing current systems for medication oversight, care planning, and staff training to ensure they uphold its standards for safety and oversight.
The mix of dedicated rehabilitation programming, aggressive wound care, and consistent nursing support makes the home a grounded choice for people healing from acute illness or needing ongoing skilled care, especially if pain management and wound healing are priorities in their recovery plan.
Owned by Geetanjali Dodson, Casa De Oro Center is a 158-bed SNF in Las Cruces, New Mexico. It’s set on Lujan Hill Road. requiring a car for almost all errands and appointments. Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay are accepted to offer families multiple routes to cover short-term rehabilitation and ongoing nursing care. The facility runs at 80 percent occupancy, averaging a resident stay of 143 days, indicating a mix of short-term rehabilitation and longer-term placement.
Casa De Oro Center gears toward post-acute care, with orthopedic rehabilitation as a specialty, plus respite services and comprehensive short-stay programming. Daily nursing support averages 4 hours 1 minute per resident, with registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses supplying 24/7 care. Specialized programs span IV therapy, total parenteral nutrition support, colostomy care, and pain management, along with pet therapy and discharge planning services. Memory support exists for occupants with cognitive decline. Everyday life is anchored by on-site amenities, including a beauty salon and barber services, a café with flexible dining options and in-room meals, activity programming with cultural and religious events, and comfortable common areas. Residents can have pets, and the smoke-free home has housekeeping and laundry services.
State inspections have flagged issues in medication management and documentation, resident supervision and safety protocols, and incident reporting and staff communication. When touring the home, families can ask how these areas are managed in daily operations and what safety and medication safeguards are implemented.
At 2884 North Roadrunner Parkway in Las Cruces, Northrise Wellness & Rehabilitation runs as a 31-bed nursing home that also covers assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing under one roof. Michael Slaughter administers the community.
The clinical picture is fairly detailed here. Residents get 1 hour and 19 minutes of registered nurse time per day, 1 hour and 50 minutes of LPN care, and 3 hours and 3 minutes with a nurse aide, on top of a doctor on staff and around-the-clock staffing. Rehabilitation services and respite care round out the clinical side, so families weighing a short recovery stay against something longer-term have both options in the same building.
Day to day, residents have private or semi-private apartments, common areas and lounges for visiting, and a beauty salon and barber service on-site. Guest accommodations make overnight family visits easier, and pets are welcome, which matters for residents moving from a home where a dog or cat was part of daily life.
Between the nursing hours, the doctor on staff, and the mix of care types offered, Northrise reads as a facility built for residents who need consistent clinical attention rather than a lighter-touch residential setting.
Set on N Roadrunner Parkway in Las Cruces, New Mexico, Las Cruces Wellness & Rehabilitation is a 64-bed nursing home administered by Jennifer Roach. The neighborhood is car-dependent, with a Walk Score of 0, so getting around means driving rather than walking. Right now the building runs at 25% occupancy, with 16 of its 64 beds filled, well under capacity.
The facility offers rehabilitation services and respite care, backed by a doctor on staff and around-the-clock staffing. Its programs are geared toward health care needs and dietary and nutritional management for residents.
Staffing breaks out unevenly across roles. A registered nurse is on hand for about 38 minutes per resident each day, while licensed practical nurses cover roughly 2 hours and 19 minutes, and nurse aides another 2 hours and 11 minutes. That split puts most direct daily care in the hands of LPNs and aides, with RN time reserved for clinical oversight and care planning.
Between the low occupancy and the mix of rehabilitation and respite services, this looks like a facility built as much for short-term recovery stays as for longer nursing care, a fit for families sorting out whether they need a bridge after a hospital stay or something more permanent.
Las Cruces Village Nursing & Rehabilitation sits at 3025 Terrace Drive in Las Cruces, New Mexico. It’s a 94-bed skilled nursing facility. The state lists it under three types of care: nursing home, palliative care, and skilled nursing. Las Cruces Village Nursing & Rehabilitation LLC owns and runs the facility. Sherri Duverger is the administrator. You’ll need a car to get around this neighborhood. The Walk Score here is 0, so visiting family can’t easily walk to nearby shops or restaurants.
This is a medical facility first. Residents get rehab services and respite care. A doctor is on staff, and nurses are on duty around the clock. The facility says its focus is health care along with managing residents’ diet and nutrition needs. That’s a program built around medical care, not social activities.
Staffing numbers tell you more about daily life here. Nurse aides spend about 2 hours and 20 minutes with each resident every day. That’s the biggest chunk of hands-on care. LPNs add about 58 minutes per resident. They handle medications and other routine clinical work, and they report to the RNs. RNs themselves spend about 20 minutes per resident each day. Their time goes toward checking on residents and overseeing their care, not staying at the bedside all day.
This facility is built for people who need real medical support. It fits residents recovering from a hospital stay or living with ongoing health needs. Families looking for a more social, independent setting may want to look elsewhere.
