Life Care Center of Casper accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
Life Care Center of Casper is a 120-bed nursing home in Casper, Wyoming. The care here centers on skilled nursing, with rehabilitation services and short-term rehab built into how the place runs. There’s also religious services on-site, for residents who want that as part of their week. And there’s a gym on-site for residents who want to stay physically active.
Occupancy sits at 71.9%, and the average resident stays 76 days. That’s a number that leans toward short-term, rehab-focused stays rather than years-long residency, though it doesn’t rule out longer stays either. The neighborhood around it is moderately walkable, Walk Score of 57, so you can knock out a few errands on foot, but you’ll still want a car for most of them.
Residents get 4 hours and 8 minutes of total nursing care a day, broken into 1 hour 21 minutes of RN time, 32 minutes of LPN time, and 2 hours 12 minutes of nurse aide time. That RN number stands out. It’s a bigger chunk of registered nurse time than you’d expect relative to the rest of the staffing mix, which usually points to more clinical oversight per resident, not less.
Putting it all together: a 120-bed nursing home built around rehab and skilled care, with a staffing pattern that puts real weight on registered nurse hours, and a length of stay that suggests this is a place people pass through for recovery as much as they settle into long-term.
Quality ratings
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.

Standout metric

| 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.
| 1h 21m per day | ▲ 45% State avg: 56m 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.
| 32m per day | ▲ 13% State avg: 28m 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 12m per day | ▼ 9% State avg: 2h 25m 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 35m per day | ▲ 7% State avg: 3h 20m per day · National avg: 3h 27m 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 | ▲ 58% State avg: 4m 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.
| 53m per day | ▲ 39% State avg: 38m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
