Data insights

Life Care Center Of Cheyenne holds a CMS overall quality rating of 5 out of 5 stars, based on the most recent Care Compare release (data as of 2026-04-01). CMS breaks this into three sub-ratings: health inspection (4/5), staffing (4/5), and quality measures (5/5). The health inspection rating reflects on-site surveyor findings from the last three cycles. 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.

Located in Cheyenne, Wyoming, this facility operates 160 certified beds with an average daily census of roughly 117 residents — an occupancy rate of about 73%. The facility is classified under for profit - corporation ownership, a designation that can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. Ownership type, bed certification (Medicare, Medicaid, or both), and geographic setting are frequently-requested context points that families weigh alongside the star rating when evaluating long-term care options.

On the regulatory side, federal and state surveyors have documented multiple deficiencies at this facility (12 total). CMS has levied 1 enforcement penalty — civil money penalties or denials of payment — during the same window. Deficiencies are graded by scope and severity on CMS's F-tag scale, ranging from isolated, low-harm findings to widespread, immediate-jeopardy citations. Tracking deficiency volume alongside severity provides a more complete picture than star rating alone. Families considering this facility are encouraged to review the full inspection history on medicare.gov/care-compare and to request copies of the most recent survey reports directly from the administrator before making a placement decision.

The figures above come directly from the U.S. Centers for Medicare \& Medicaid Services Nursing Home Compare dataset for federal quality ratings, combined with the CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey of more than 15,000 elder-care providers nationwide and U.S. Census American Community Survey income data. Cost figures are monthly medians, refreshed annually with each new CareScout release; quality ratings are refreshed quarterly from the CMS Provider Information File. Read these state and county medians as benchmarks, then verify current rates with individual providers and consult care managers before making placement decisions.
