CMS (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is the federal agency that rates nursing home quality. Its Overall Rating runs from 1 to 5 stars, combining health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, with inspections weighted most heavily.

Alamogordo’s Betty Dare Wellness & Rehabilitation sits on North Florida Avenue in a moderately walkable neighborhood where foot traffic is feasible for some errands and local navigation. The setting is straightforward: a 90-bed nursing home geared toward short-term rehabilitation and post-acute recovery, not primarily a long-term residential community. With 61 beds currently occupied out of 90, the facility has available capacity.
On-site physician coverage removes the friction that some patients encounter when visiting physicians are unavailable or inconsistently scheduled. Nursing hours break down to 3 hours and 30 minutes of total care per resident daily; well-distributed across registered nurses (44 minutes), nurse aides (1 hour 52 minutes), and licensed nurses (40 minutes). This layered staffing is important: it’s how facilities handle the variety of tasks that aren’t surgical or medication-specific but still matter to recovery and comfort. The facility maintains 24-hour staffing, which matters for nocturnal emergencies and the kinds of needs that don’t observe business hours.
It tells you the census skews toward people rehabilitating from surgery or hospitalization, not toward residents in their third or fourth year of placement. That’s not a criticism; it’s a market position. Some families specifically need short-term post-acute placement while their loved one regains strength at home, and some patients coming out of acute care need nursing-level support that can’t yet happen in an assisted living setting. Betty Dare explicitly offers respite care, which extends that utility to family caregivers who need temporary coverage while they manage someone at home.
Dietary management is provided with attention to individual medical and nutritional requirements. Rehabilitation services are an explicit offering, not incidental to nursing care. The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, which means it can work with most financial scenarios patients arrive with.
State inspections have been conducted annually over the past four years. Betty Dare operates in a realistic occupancy range for a facility of this type and positioning, suggesting the place is established and known locally without being at absolute saturation. For families evaluating short-term post-acute options or respite care with continuous nursing oversight, this is a straightforward operation built for the medium-term stay.
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.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
This home is ranked 30th out of 53 homes in New Mexico for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| 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.
| 33m per day | ▼ 12% State avg: 37m 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.
| 58m per day | ▲ 34% State avg: 43m 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 55m per day | ▼ 14% State avg: 2h 14m 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 5m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 3h 7m 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.
| 6m per day | ▲ 19% 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.
| 22m per day | ▼ 23% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
