CMS (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is the federal agency that rates nursing home quality. Its Overall Rating runs from 1 to 5 stars, combining health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, with inspections weighted most heavily.
Established 34 years ago and managed by Park Forest Care Center, Park Forest Care Center is a 103-bed nursing home in Westminster, Colorado. It takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, ensuring families have numerous ways to fund care. With roughly 2 hours 45 minutes of total nursing care per resident day, the facility blends attentive support with a rehabilitation-focused model.
The home spotlights behavioral health and specialized training. Programming includes crisis prevention and BLS certification, plus comprehensive mental health services: individual and group counseling, family support groups, educational workshops, and volunteer opportunities. Dementia training for staff highlights a dedication to understanding residents with cognitive changes, and pet therapy sessions bring more therapeutic engagement to daily life. Dining centers on nutritional balance and choice. Menus are dietician-approved and rotate seasonally. Alternative options are offered at every meal to accommodate individual dietary needs and preferences. This flexibility helps residents maintain eating patterns they recognize and enjoy. The home’s location in Westminster sits on a somewhat walkable corridor (Walk Score 27), where some nearby services are reachable on foot, but most trips need a car. The surrounding area has moderate pedestrian access, which can factor into family visits and transportation planning. Daily amenities span a patio for outdoor time, scheduled transportation for appointments and outings, and housekeeping support. Activities are varied and social, including arts and crafts, games, music, group outings, and resident-led clubs and interest groups.
Families thinking of choosing Park Forest Care Center will find an established operation with deep roots in the community and an unmistakable focus on mental health support, rehabilitation, and structured daily engagement.
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.
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.
| 25m per day | ▼ 49% 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.
| 28m per day | ▼ 32% 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 52m per day | ▼ 15% 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 39m per day | ▼ 19% 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.
| 2m per day | ▼ 69% 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.
| 21m per day | ▼ 41% State avg: 36m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
