Health inspection rating: ★★★★★5/5 · CMS overall rating: 5/5 · how star ratings work →
⚠ The most recent standard health inspection was more than 2 years ago — conditions may have changed.
The health inspection star above is graded on a curve within each state — a set share of each state's facilities gets each star level — so a facility can have few citations and still rate 2–3 stars if others in its state did even better. The overall rating combines that inspection score with staffing and quality measures from resident assessments and claims.
Showing the latest 3 of 15 inspection findings. Open the full record below to read every finding.
The facility did not properly plan a resident's discharge to meet the resident's goals and needs after leaving. F-0660
The facility did not keep the environment free of accident hazards, or did not provide enough supervision to prevent accidents like falls. F-0689
The facility's menus did not meet residents' nutritional needs, or were not prepared in advance, followed as written, kept up to date, or reviewed by a dietician. F-0803
CMS publishes roughly the last three inspection cycles plus recent complaint investigations. Older surveys drop out of the record as new ones are completed — that window is CMS's, not ours. Within it, every citation CMS publishes for this facility is listed here: none excluded.

| Measure | This facility | Colorado avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 3.75 | 3.89 | 3.95 | top 50% in Colorado; bottom 49% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.87 | 0.86 | 0.69 | top 39% in Colorado; top 22% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.31 | 3.44 | 3.50 | top 49% in Colorado; bottom 48% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.93 | 0.61 | 0.48 | top 12% in Colorado; top 7% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 40.7 | 47.1 | 45.8 | top 31% in Colorado; top 38% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 34.8 | 44.6 | 42.9 | top 32% in Colorado; top 38% in the U.S. |
Hours are per resident per day for the most recent quarter of payroll data in this CMS release (2026-08-01) — the same quarter for every facility — case-mix adjusted by CMS so facilities caring for sicker residents can be compared fairly (same basis as the CMS staffing star). "Top X%" means better than most facilities: more staffing hours, or lower turnover. Raw (unadjusted) reported hours: total 4.77, RN 1.11, weekend 4.21.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (4.77 here, displayed there as hours and minutes), not the adjusted one above. Both are correct; they answer different questions. Staffing rating: 4/5.
Note: CMS combines facility-reported resident assessments (MDS) with claims-based measures. These are different sources from on-site inspection findings. Read the measures alongside inspection and staffing records; a high QM rating does not establish that a home is safe.
Quality measures rating: 5/5 · long-stay residents: —/5 · short-stay residents: 5/5
