Boulder Post Acute is a 162-bed for-profit facility with a 2-star overall rating, marked by high staff turnover, a registered nurse staffing ratio below the state average, and recent high-severity safety citations.
Data for Boulder Post Acute reflects a complex quality profile characterized by high nursing turnover and recent high-severity inspection findings. The facility provides 3.3 total hours of nursing care per resident per day, which falls below the Colorado state average of 3.7 hours. Registered nurse staffing is recorded at 0.34 hours per resident per day, less than half the state average of 0.83 hours. Notably, the facility maintains a high nursing turnover rate of 66%, meaning approximately two-thirds of the nursing staff departed within a one-year period. While the facility relies on contract or agency staff for 15.3% of its total nursing hours, this is relatively controlled compared to high-use facilities.
The health inspection record shows a significant volume of 30 uncorrected findings. This includes high-severity citations in 2025 related to resident safety, accidents, and failure to protect residents from abuse or neglect. Although the facility maintains a high rating in long-stay quality measures, its overall health inspection rating of 2 out of 5 stars and the presence of the CMS 'Abuse Icon' indicate systemic challenges in regulatory compliance. Financial penalties include a $9,113 fine issued in May 2025. Compared to its parent chain (PACS Group), which averages an overall rating of 2.9 stars, this facility performs lower at 2 stars. Administrative stability is a point of neutral data, with zero administrator departures reported in the recent cycle.
The facility was cited in May 2025 for a high-severity (Level J) violation involving failure to ensure an area was free from accident hazards and providing inadequate supervision.
Total nursing staff turnover is 66%, which is 17.4% higher than the Colorado state average of 48.6%.
Records show an 'Abuse Icon' designation, indicating recent findings related to the protection of residents from abuse or neglect.
This shows how the facility's federal ratings have changed over the past 24 months. Consistent high ratings suggest stable quality, while declining trends may warrant further investigation.

Staffing depth is the strongest predictor of care quality. Facilities routinely cut staff on evenings and weekends — the shifts when falls happen and call lights go unanswered.
