Nursing homes · CO
Every nursing home in Denver that CMS rates, ranked on the federal five-star score and compared on the staffing measure most closely tied to resident outcomes. We publish a home only when CMS has released at least 10 of the 12 fields these pages are built from.
3.50hrs
Nurse hours per resident per day across the 22 Denver homes reporting, against the Colorado average of 3.70. Families almost never see this number before a tour, and it is the one that tracks resident outcomes best.
17of 22
Statewide the figure is 131 of 210. A fine records one inspection finding at one point in time, so treat it as a question to ask on a tour rather than a verdict.
Where two homes share a star rating, the one staffing more nurse hours per resident sits higher.
