Overview of Columbine Manor Care Center

Located in Salida, Colorado, Columbine Manor Care Center is a skilled nursing home offering care with 112 beds. Amy Gaidies owns the home. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, giving families flexibility in arranging coverage for short-term rehabilitation stays and longer-term nursing care.

The facility has been operating for 13 years, so it has established itself in the area. The home currently houses 54 residents, and they stay an average of 119 days. The population is a mix of post-acute rehabilitation residents and those requiring ongoing skilled care.

The facility’s main focus is rehabilitation. Columbine Manor also provides in-house short-term and outpatient rehabilitation services. On-site, there is an Alterg Anti-Gravity Treadmill, a tool residents use to recover from orthopedic surgery, neurological conditions, and joint replacement. There are dedicated rehabilitation staff and equipment for walking and mobility, which is one of the things that residents and their families should consider for post-hospital recovery.

Nurse staffing averages about 3 hours and 56 minutes per resident daily. It is distributed across registered nurses, licensed nurses, and nursing aides. This staffing level provides hands-on, round-the-clock oversight. The home also has a specialized focus on Alzheimer’s and dementia care, with dedicated programming, which may be beneficial for residents living with memory loss.

Salida is a small mountain town with a walkability score of 76. The neighborhood is quite pedestrian-friendly, so visiting family members can easily navigate the area on foot. The community is also well connected for those driving from the Front Range or beyond.

Families evaluating Columbine Manor as a recovery option or a longer-term skilled nursing placement should schedule an in-person tour to understand the rehabilitation program and daily care routines.

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs 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. 51m per day ■ Avg 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. 28m per day ▼ 32% 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. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life. 1h 45m per day ▼ 20% State avg: 2h 12m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day

Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours. 2h 46m per day ▼ 15% State avg: 3h 16m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants.

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. 35m per day ▼ 3% State avg: 36m per day · National avg: 28m per day
