The data profile for this 106-bed facility is characterized by high health inspection scores and low staff turnover, though total nursing hours per resident are lower than state averages.
South Valley Post Acute Rehabilitation maintains a high overall performance profile according to federal data, marked by a top-tier health inspection rating and strong quality measures. Records show the facility has received significantly fewer inspection findings than the Colorado average, with two findings in the most recent cycle compared to a state average of 8.7. However, staffing levels present a mixed data set. The facility provides 3.28 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which falls below the state average of 3.70. Specifically, registered nurse care is 0.52 hours per resident per day, which is lower than the 0.83 hour state average.
The data reveals a stable workforce environment relative to regional peers. Total nursing staff turnover is 40.2%, and registered nurse turnover is 42.9%, both of which are lower than the Colorado averages of 48.6% and 45.4% respectively. Furthermore, the facility reported extremely low reliance on contract or agency labor (0.1%), suggesting that nearly all care is provided by permanent staff members. While one administrator departure was recorded in the last year, the facility has not incurred any federal fines or payment denials in the current reporting period. Safety records highlight 25 uncorrected fire safety findings, including issues related to electrical wiring and fire drill frequency, which exceeds the state average for such citations.
The facility reported 3.28 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is lower than the Colorado state average of 3.70 hours.

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.
