A skilled nursing home in Aurora, Colorado, is Highland Park Rehabilitation & Care Center situated on Geneva Street in a moderately walkable neighborhood. It operates 110 beds and concentrates on rehabilitation services with solid daily staffing support.
The facility maintains a hands-on care model with a blend of nursing levels present each day. Registered nurses average 39 minutes of direct care per resident daily, nurse aides contribute 2 hours 5 minutes per resident, and licensed practical nurses add another 41 minutes. That layering of skilled and supportive staff is built into the facility’s structure, so daily support is consistent across the community. With 24-hour staffing on-site, the home supports residents moving through post-acute rehabilitation and those needing active skilled nursing care. Daily activities are tailored not to a fixed schedule but to individual resident interests, giving people some freedom in how they spend time. Daily living is backed by a full-service dining room, so meals are prepared on-site. The surrounding neighborhood scores 69 for walkability. This means some local errands can be walkable, while most trips benefit from a quick drive. For visiting family members, that type of mixed access keeps the area fairly convenient to explore.
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.
| 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.
| 39m per day | ▼ 22% 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.
| 41m per day | ■ Avg 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.
| 2h 5m per day | ▼ 5% 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.
| 3h 4m per day | ▼ 6% 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.
| 6m per day | ▲ 20% 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.
| 28m per day | ▼ 22% State avg: 36m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
