Overview of Rio Grande Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center
Rio Grande Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center is a privately owned 60-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in La Jara, Colorado. Accepted are Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. Serving Conejos County and the broader San Luis Valley at 39 Calle Miller, the community offers long-term care, post-acute rehabilitation, memory care, and respite stays with 24-hour staffing.
The 2-star CMS overall rating reflects sub-ratings below Colorado’s average across all four categories, with staffing as the primary driver; nurse hours of 2h 42m per resident day rank 166th among 177 Colorado SNFs, falling below the national 3-hour threshold and 30 percent below Colorado’s 3h 51m average. Quality Measures sit only marginally below the state average at 2.9 percent, the closest to parity of the four sub-ratings. Inspection reports on file cover November 2018, November 2019, March 2024, July 2025, and November 2025; detailed findings from those surveys unavailable, but the health inspection sub-rating of 28.6 percent below the Colorado average signifies a compliance record running below state norms. No enforcement actions visible.
Specialty programs span cardiac rehabilitation, orthopedic rehabilitation, wound healing, pulmonary care, diabetes management, pain management, and palliative care. These are an unusually broad clinical menu for a 60-bed rural facility. Amenities include a courtyard and patio, fine dining with in-room dining availability, family lounge spaces, and private and semi-private suite configurations.
As the primary skilled nursing option in Conejos County, the facility accommodates a geographically isolated population in San Luis Valley where transferring to other providers needs significant travel.
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
Nurse Aide is +13% above 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.
| 37m per day | ▼ 26% 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.
| 24m per day | ▼ 41% 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 29m 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 52m per day | ▼ 12% State avg: 3h 16m per day · National avg: 3h 26m 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.
| 31m per day | ▼ 14% State avg: 36m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
