Fines and penalties
- Fines1
- Total fined$9,110
- Payment denials0

A fine records what an inspector found on one visit, sometimes years ago. Ask the home what changed since. CMS keeps the underlying inspection reports on Care Compare.
What care costs in Denver
Medicare covers a short, qualifying skilled-nursing stay, not long-term residence. Families comparing nursing homes are usually also pricing assisted living, so here is what we measured locally.

Where these numbers come from
Every figure on this page is published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in the CMS Provider Data Catalog — Nursing homes including rehab services dataset (ID 4pq5-n9py), release June 2026. We do not rate, inspect, or rank nursing homes ourselves, and we have no commercial relationship with this home. What we add is the comparison: the same figures set against the Colorado average so a number has something to mean.
We publish a facility page only when CMS has released at least 10 of the 12 fields the page is built from. This home has 12. Our full method is on the methodology page, and every source we use is listed on data sources.
CMS refreshes this dataset quarterly. Ours was pulled from the June 2026 release.
