Overview of Atlas Post Acute

Atlas Post Acute is a 146-bed nursing home located on Jones Avenue in Pueblo, Colorado. Owned by Elizabeth Collazo, the facility runs at about 63 percent capacity. Residents stay for an average of 106 days, which means the daily workload is divided between short-term post-hospital rehab and long-term medical care. When it comes to handling the costs, the administrative staff works with state Medicaid, traditional Medicare, and standard private payments.

The surrounding area is car-dependent, meaning visitors will need a vehicle to run errands outside the property. Inside, the floor crew provides an average of 3 hours and 1 minute of direct nursing attention to each resident daily, drawing from a team of RNs, LPNs, and aides. This clinical staff manages physical rehabilitation programs for people recovering from major surgeries, strokes, or recent hospitalizations.

State health and safety regulations require regular inspections of the building and its clinical routines. The management team is responsible for keeping all nursing schedules, medical charts, and physical structures aligned with regional healthcare guidelines.

Prospective representatives can contact the front desk to ask about current room openings, check the intake requirements for physical therapy, or set up a time to walk through the building.

6 of 6 metrics below state avg

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.	23m per day	▼ 54% 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.	31m per day	▼ 24% 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.	1h 28m per day	▼ 33% 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.	1h 54m per day	▼ 42% 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	▼ 46% 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.	10m per day	▼ 71% State avg: 36m per day · National avg: 28m per day
