Overview of Columbine Manor Care Center

Columbine Manor Care Center is a 112-bed skilled nursing facility in Salida, Colorado, serving residents across Chaffee County with long-term care, short-term rehabilitation, and memory care. Privately owned by Amy Gaidies and currently administered by Edward Kennedy II, the facility has operated since 2013 and holds a 4-star overall CMS rating.

Columbine Manor has logged 15 health citations across 3 inspections since 2021 — 38% below the Colorado average of 24.8 total citations statewide. At 5 citations per inspection, the facility matches the state average of 5.2.

Notably, zero citations reached critical or serious severity levels, compared to Colorado averages of 0.4 and 2.1, respectively; all 15 citations were moderate, led by Infection Control (4) and Quality of Life & Care (4). The most recent inspection in October 2023 produced at least 4 citations, and all were corrected. No civil money penalties have been imposed in the past three years.

The facility’s genuine strength is its quality measure performance. Long-stay residents experience hospitalizations at 0.33 per 1,000 days — 75% better than the Colorado average of 1.30 — and fall-with-major-injury rates of 1.8%, nearly half the state benchmark of 3.3%. Antipsychotic medication use stands at 1.8% against a Colorado average of 18.8%. CMS rates both long-stay and short-stay quality measures as significantly above average.

Staffing shows a mixed result. Nurse hours run 3 hours and 56 minutes per resident per day, and the staff-to-resident ratio of 1.42:1 runs 24% below the Colorado average of 1.88:1. Payroll, however, consumes 87% of revenue — ranked 2nd out of 182 Colorado SNFs. This indicates that the facility commits the bulk of its resources to staffing despite the operating loss of $1.5M in 2023.

On-site services include 24-hour skilled nursing, in-house rehabilitation with an AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill, respiratory therapy, speech-language pathology, and Alzheimer’s and dementia care. Respite care is available. The facility serves a mixed population: 31% Medicaid long-term residents alongside a 48% private-pay share that trends toward shorter rehab stays.

Columbine Manor Care Center is best suited for seniors seeking post-acute rehabilitation or memory care in a rural, walkable Salida setting. Families seeking low hospitalization rates will find this community a good fit.

Staff type Hours / Day / Resident vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info 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. 1h 4m per day ▲ 28% State avg: 50m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info 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. 20m per day ▼ 51% State avg: 41m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility.

Weekend RN Info 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. 45m per day ▲ 25% State avg: 36m per day · National avg: 28m per day
