LITTLETON CARE AND REHABILITATION CENTER

Littleton Care and Rehabilitation Center is a skilled nursing facility located at 5822 S Lowell Way in Littleton, Colorado (ZIP 80123), within Arapahoe County. The facility operates under for-profit corporate ownership and is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. It holds 35 certified beds, making it a relatively small-scale nursing care provider within the state. CMS assigns Littleton Care and Rehabilitation Center an overall star rating of 4 out of 5, which is above the national average of 3.0 stars. This overall rating is derived from three component measures. The health inspection rating stands at 4 out of 5 stars, reflecting the outcomes of on-site inspections conducted by state and federal surveyors. The quality measure rating is 5 out of 5 stars, the highest possible score, indicating strong performance across clinical quality indicators such as rates of hospitalizations, infections, and functional decline among residents. The staffing rating, however, is 1 out of 5 stars, the lowest possible score, suggesting that staffing levels at this facility fall considerably below national norms. CMS calculates staffing ratings using payroll-based data that accounts for the number of hours provided by registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants relative to the resident census. Littleton Care and Rehabilitation Center accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources, making it accessible to residents who rely on federal insurance programs. Individuals whose coverage does not include Medicare or Medicaid may also inquire about private pay options directly with the facility. Payment eligibility and coverage details are subject to individual circumstances and should be confirmed with the facility and relevant insurance providers. When compared to national averages, Littleton Care and Rehabilitation Center presents a mixed performance profile. The overall 4-star rating and the 5-star quality measure score both exceed the national average, while the 4-star health inspection rating also surpasses the 3.0-star national benchmark. The 1-star staffing rating is a notable contrast to these otherwise above-average scores, indicating a significant gap in staffing levels relative to facilities nationwide. Prospective residents and their families may wish to weigh these individual component ratings when considering the facility's overall suitability for specific care needs. All CMS star ratings are updated periodically as new inspection, staffing, and quality data become available.
