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 derived from three component domains: health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. Allison Care Center received a health inspection rating of 2 out of 5, indicating performance below the national benchmark in that area.

The quality measure rating is also 4 out of 5, indicating that clinical quality indicators at this facility compare favorably to national averages. The overall rating is a composite that weighs all three domains, and in this case the lower health inspection rating has a notable impact on the composite score. Allison Care Center accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources, making it accessible to residents who rely on federal health insurance programs for skilled nursing or long-term care coverage. Individuals and families researching payment options should contact the facility directly at (303) 232-7177 to confirm current coverage details, bed availability, and any applicable private pay arrangements. When compared to national benchmarks, Allison Care Center presents a mixed profile. Its overall 2-star rating places it below the national average of 3.0 stars, driven primarily by its 2-star health inspection score. However, its staffing and quality measure ratings of 4 stars each indicate that in those specific domains, the facility performs above the national average. Prospective residents and their families may wish to examine each rating domain independently, as the component ratings can provide a more detailed picture of facility performance than the overall star rating alone.
