The average duration of stay at Aspen Transitional Rehabilitation sits at eighteen days, a statistic that provides immediate clarity regarding the operational intent of the facility. This is an institution constructed for the purpose of short-term, post-acute recovery rather than long-term custodial residence. Located at 2867 E Copper Point Dr within the El Dorado Business Campus in Meridian, Idaho, the facility maintains proximity to St. Luke’s Meridian Medical Center at a distance of 1.16 miles. With a Walk Score of 44, the surrounding geography remains primarily car-dependent for the majority of errands or external excursions.
The facility maintains a nineteen-year track record and accepts both Medicare and private payment methods, currently operating with a 76.4 percent occupancy rate. Staffing distribution consists of 4 hours and 9 minutes of total nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This calculation is segmented into 55 minutes of registered nurse coverage alongside 2 hours and 38 minutes of nurse aide attention. These figures support a programmatic framework that includes inpatient rehabilitation services, 24-hour nursing availability, transportation assistance, and a confirmed Home Health program.
The physical environment provides private suites to house residents for the duration of their recovery cycles. Culinary services follow a restaurant-style model with meal preparations modified to accommodate individual nutritional requirements. On-site amenities designed to support the recovery environment include a library, a beauty salon, a private dining room, and a lounge area featuring a fireplace.
Aspen Transitional Rehabilitation operates as a skilled nursing facility with nineteen years of established history in Meridian. The institution focuses on short-term rehabilitative care, and the 18-day average stay highlights a distinct orientation toward transitioning individuals back to their home environments. This care model remains anchored by around-the-clock nursing coverage designed to manage the clinical requirements of patients during their acute recovery phase.
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.
| 55m per day | ▲ 11% 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.
| 1h 13m per day | ▲ 58% State avg: 46m 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 38m per day | ▲ 7% State avg: 2h 28m per day · National avg: 2h 21m 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 30m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 3h 28m 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.
| 14m per day | ▲ 132% State avg: 6m 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 | ▼ 14% State avg: 32m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
