The facility operates 85 certified beds and is classified as a for-profit, corporate-owned entity. It is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid residents. The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 2 out of 5, which falls below the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS ratings are calculated based on three component domains. The health inspection rating stands at 2 stars, reflecting findings from standard state inspections conducted on behalf of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The staffing rating is also 2 stars, which accounts for registered nurse hours, total nurse staffing levels, and physical therapist staffing relative to the resident population. The quality measure rating is 3 stars, indicating performance on clinical outcome measures that is in line with the national average. Each domain contributes to the overall composite rating, and individual domain scores can differ from one another as they measure distinct aspects of facility operations. Skyline Ridge Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid, meaning it is able to serve residents whose care is funded through either federal program. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing and rehabilitation stays following a qualifying hospital admission, subject to specific eligibility requirements and duration limits. Medicaid coverage applies to longer-term custodial care for residents who meet income and asset criteria under Colorado state guidelines. Individuals and families seeking placement should verify current availability and coverage specifics directly with the facility and the relevant program administrators. When compared against national benchmarks, Skyline Ridge Nursing & Rehabilitation Center falls below average in two of three CMS rating categories. The overall 2-star rating is one point below the national average of 3.0 stars, suggesting that in key measured areas, the facility's performance is below the midpoint of facilities assessed nationwide. The quality measure domain, at 3 stars, aligns with the national average and represents the facility's strongest rated component. The health inspection and staffing domains, both at 2 stars, are below the national average. These ratings are updated periodically by CMS and are intended to serve as a comparative reference point rather than a comprehensive evaluation of care quality.
