Overview of Pueblo Heights Nursing and Rehabilitation

Located in Pueblo, Colorado, Pueblo Heights Nursing and Rehabilitation is a skilled nursing home focused on short-term rehabilitation and complex medical care. The 120-bed community serves residents recovering from surgery or hospitalization as well as those with specialized nursing needs. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families several ways to cover rehabilitation stays and longer-term care.

The home’s clinical focus is rehabilitation and wound management. Programs include neurorehabilitation for stroke, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injury. Stroke recovery, COPD, and CHF programs are available as well. Residents also have access to wound care management, pain management, tracheotomy care, IV therapy, and intravenous antibiotics. Physician services are provided on-site.

The community also offers respite care, hospice care, palliative care, short-term sub-acute care, and therapeutic recreational programming, and those services support both recovery and quality of life for residents with a range of medical needs. Nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 44 minutes per resident each day. Registered nurses provide 36 minutes of daily care, while nurse aides contribute 1 hour and 50 minutes. That staffing level is due to the facility’s role in managing post-acute transitions and complex medical conditions.

Residents stay an average of 149 days, including those receiving post-hospital rehabilitation and those needing ongoing specialized care. The facility’s occupancy rate is currently 38%, so there’s room for new admissions.

Private and semi-private rooms are available. There’s on-site dining with meals prepared by skilled chefs. Residents also have access to a beauty salon and barber shop, along with entertainment and social areas.

The location on Constitution Road is in a car-dependent area where most errands require a vehicle. Families visiting residents or attending appointments generally need transportation. However, the home’s medical focus can reduce the need for outside errands during a resident’s stay.

vs Colorado avg

-3%

6 of 6 metrics below state avg

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.	36m per day	▼ 28% 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.	34m per day	▼ 17% 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 50m per day	▼ 17% 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 46m per day	▼ 16% 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.	4m per day	▼ 19% 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.	26m per day	▼ 28% State avg: 36m per day · National avg: 28m per day
