When evaluated against national benchmarks, Glenwood Springs Healthcare presents a mixed profile across its rating domains. The overall 2-star rating places it below the national average, driven in large part by the 1-star staffing rating, which represents the lowest tier in the CMS rating system. This staffing score may reflect lower total nurse staffing hours relative to resident needs, reduced registered nurse presence, or other workforce factors captured in CMS methodology. In contrast, the 4-star quality measure rating indicates that the facility performs above the national average on standardized clinical outcome metrics, which assess the health and functional status of residents over time. The 3-star health inspection rating suggests inspection findings that are consistent with national norms. Taken together, these ratings reflect a facility where clinical quality outcomes are a relative strength, while staffing levels represent a notable area below the national standard. Individuals researching care options in the Glenwood Springs area may wish to weigh these individual domain ratings alongside other factors such as location, services offered, and current bed availability.
