Quality ratings

What each sub-rating measures

The staffing rating compares case-mix-adjusted nurse hours per resident day to national benchmarks, and quality measures aggregate 15 clinical indicators including pressure ulcers, falls with injury, and long-stay antipsychotic use.

Its ownership type, listed in Facility details, can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. Occupancy of about 93% puts this facility in normal territory for a stabilized operation, neither unusually full nor unusually empty.
Same-ownership peers
Within Colorado, Clear Creek Care Center is one of 71 for profit - limited liability company nursing homes CMS rates. Its 3-star overall rating sits below the for profit - limited liability company-segment average of 3.0 stars, ahead of roughly 45% of same-ownership peers in the state.
