Adara Living is a 210-bed skilled nursing community in Broomfield, Colorado, offering long-term care, memory care, short-term rehabilitation, and respite stays. Privately owned and operated by Broomfield Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center LLC, the facility has been in operation for 24 years and accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
The facility holds a 2-star overall CMS rating, roughly 37% below the Colorado average — driven primarily by its health inspection sub-rating, which trails the state by 64%. Since 2022, Adara Living has recorded 47 citations across 7 inspections, nearly double Colorado’s average of 24.8; that includes 1 critical citation and 4 serious citations in the past four years. CMS issued $61,000 in federal fines in 2023, including a $39,000 civil money penalty and a two-day payment denial in August 2023.
The facility stands out in staffing. Total adjusted nursing hours average 4 hours and 23 minutes per resident per day — 14% above the Colorado average of 3 hours and 51 minutes — ranking the facility 30th among 177 Colorado skilled nursing facilities on that measure. Nurse aide staffing in particular is 14% above state norms. Quality measures also perform above average at 21.4% above the Colorado benchmark, suggesting stronger day-to-day clinical management despite the inspection record.
On-site services include 24-hour staffing, including dietary services, social services, and activity programming. Its occupancy rate is 77%, in line with the state average.
Adara Living is best suited for residents in Broomfield County who need skilled nursing, post-acute rehabilitation, or memory care, with current availability and a staffing profile that supports higher-acuity daily care needs. However, families should carefully review the facility’s inspection and enforcement history before arranging placement.
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.
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.
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.
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.

| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
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.
| 36m per day | ▼ 29% State avg: 50m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
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.
| 39m per day | ▼ 5% State avg: 41m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
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 24m per day | ▲ 9% State avg: 2h 12m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
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 23m per day | ▲ 4% State avg: 3h 16m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
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.
| 3m per day | ▼ 44% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
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.
| 28m per day | ▼ 23% State avg: 36m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
