Overview of Riverbend Health and Rehabilitation Center

Rocky Mountain SNF Holdings runs Riverbend Health and Rehabilitation Center, a 100-bed nursing home at 821 Duffield Court in Loveland, Colorado. The building operates at roughly 78 percent capacity, and residents stick around for an average of 154 days. This length of stay indicates that the daily workload is evenly balanced between permanent placements and short-term post-hospital rehab. For billing, the front office handles room rates and clinical fees through standard private pay, traditional Medicare, and state Medicaid.

Riverbend Health and Rehabilitation Center earns a walk score of 88 out of 100, meaning visiting families can easily take care of errands on foot without needing a vehicle. On the floor, the staff provides about 3 hours and 17 minutes of direct care to each resident every day. This daily workload is managed by a round-the-clock crew of registered nurses, practical nurses, and aides who run physical rehab routines, provide temporary respite care for family caregivers, and supervise recovery after major surgeries.

Recent inspection records flagged several issues for improvement, specifically concerning medication administration, resident safety protocols, infection control, kitchen services, and quality assurance systems. Interested individuals can call the admissions department to check on current bed availability, hear how the management team has addressed these safety findings, or schedule an afternoon to come look around the property.

5 of 6 metrics below state avg

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info 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. 38m per day ▼ 25% State avg: 50m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info 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. 31m per day ▼ 25% State avg: 41m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info 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 0m per day ▼ 10% State avg: 2h 13m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info 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 49m per day ▼ 14% State avg: 3h 17m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info 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. 5m per day ■ Avg State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info 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. 17m per day ▼ 51% State avg: 36m per day · National avg: 29m per day
