Overview of Rock Canyon Respiratory and Rehabilitation Center

Rock Canyon Respiratory and Rehabilitation Center is a 141-bed skilled nursing facility in Pueblo, Colorado, providing short-term rehabilitation and long-term care, in-house therapy, and respite care, with a particular focus on respiratory therapy and post-acute recovery. The facility is operated by Rock Canyon Healthcare LLC. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

CMS rates the facility at 2 stars overall, with staffing as the primary driver. Adjusted nurse staffing averages 2 hours and 25 minutes per resident per day, compared with the Colorado average of 3 hours and 51 minutes — placing the facility 174th out of 177 Colorado SNFs on that measure. Four of six staffing metrics fall below state averages. Quality measures are a counterpoint: the facility scores 21.4% above the Colorado average on clinical performance indicators, reflecting outcomes that outpace its staffing levels.

Across its inspection record, the facility has accumulated 42 total citations, ranking 159th of 182 Colorado SNFs for cumulative citations. CMS has issued three federal fines totaling $90,000 — roughly double the Colorado average of $40,000 and 35% more fines than the typical in-state facility. Citation severity over the past four years includes one critical finding, six serious, and 35 moderate, with noted moderate citations in abuse/neglect and infection control. The facility’s citations-per-inspection rate ranks near the middle of the state pool at 101st of 182.

The facility’s occupancy rate is above the Colorado state average, ranking 42nd of 185 Colorado nursing homes — a sign of consistent local demand for its post-acute and respiratory services.

Rock Canyon is best suited for patients requiring short-term respiratory rehabilitation or post-acute skilled nursing care in Pueblo County, particularly those whose placement decisions hinge on clinical quality-of-care outcomes rather than staffing depth. However, families should review the facility’s staffing levels, inspection history, and enforcement record before making a placement decision.

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. 32m per day ▼ 36% 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. 47m per day ▲ 14% 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.
