Overview of Mapleton Post Acute

Mapleton Post Acute is a 90-bed skilled nursing facility in Lakewood, Colorado, owned by Castle Rock Healthcare, Inc. and operated under the Ensign Services umbrella. The facility offers short-term rehabilitation and post-acute skilled nursing, with in-house therapy and a Stay Active programming track supporting recovery-focused care.

Across seven years of inspections since 2019, Mapleton recorded 38 total deficiencies — 27% above the Colorado average of 30 — with recurring findings in discharge planning, medication management, and infection control. A substantiated complaint in March 2024 involved medication errors causing resident harm. The most recent inspection, in June 2025, cited two deficiencies related to Medicare non-coverage notices and discharge notification procedures.

Staffing levels fall below Colorado benchmarks across all nursing categories: RN hours average 30 minutes per resident per day, 40% below the state average; LPN hours are 34% below, and nurse aide hours are 13% below. Physical therapy hours are a counterpoint — 8 minutes per resident per day, 60% above the state average — consistent with the facility’s rehabilitation orientation. Weekend total nursing coverage averages 2 hours and 33 minutes per day, 22% below the Colorado average.

Return-to-community rates for short-stay residents are 47.7%, modestly below the state’s 50.6%, while the fall-with-major-injury rate is 0.0% compared with Colorado’s average of 0.8%.

Mapleton Post Acute is structured for short-term post-acute rehabilitation in Lakewood, particularly for residents whose primary need is in-house therapy following hospitalization. However, families should review the facility’s staffing levels and medication-management history before making a placement decision.

Staffing hours breakdown

Hours per resident per day — compared to Colorado state averages

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.	30m per day	▼ 40% 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.	27m per day	▼ 34% 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.	1h 55m per day	▼ 13% 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.	2h 33m per day	▼ 22% 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.	8m per day	▲ 60% 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.	29m per day	▼ 19% State avg: 36m per day · National avg: 28m per day
