How to read DENVER NORTH CARE CENTER's star rating
The CMS overall star rating for DENVER NORTH CARE CENTER is a composite of three separately measured domains: health inspection results from state survey teams, staffing levels reported through payroll-based journal data, and clinical quality measures drawn from resident assessments and Medicare claims. A 4-star overall rating means DENVER NORTH CARE CENTER sits in the upper tier of rated providers nationally, though a strong overall score can still hide a weaker individual domain.
For DENVER NORTH CARE CENTER, CMS currently publishes 3 out of 5 for health inspections, 3 out of 5 for staffing, 5 out of 5 for quality measures. Health inspection scores are graded on a curve within each state, so this facility's inspection score is a ranking against other Colorado providers rather than an absolute measure. Staffing scores reflect reported nurse hours per resident day, and quality-measure scores reflect resident outcomes such as falls, pressure ulcers and hospital readmissions.
In local context: 22 rated facilities in Denver average 3.1 out of 5, and the Colorado average is 3.1. DENVER NORTH CARE CENTER rates 4 out of 5, above that benchmark. Comparing a facility against its own local market matters because inspection severity, Medicaid reimbursement rates and staffing supply all vary sharply by state.
What DENVER NORTH CARE CENTER's inspection record shows
No deficiency citations for DENVER NORTH CARE CENTER appear in the CMS extract this page is built from. That reflects the records CMS has published for this provider, not an inspection performed by Clear Care Connect, and the federal extract can lag a state survey by several months.
Before you rely on a clean record, ask DENVER NORTH CARE CENTER for the date of its most recent standard survey and for its current CMS Form 2567. Also ask the Colorado survey agency whether any complaint investigations are open, as complaint surveys are logged separately from the standard annual survey cycle.
What nursing home costs near Denver, Colorado
Colorado nursing home typically runs $3,800 to $6,000 per month, a midpoint of roughly $4,900 — about $58,800 a year. This is a state-level market estimate from published rate data for this care type, not a quote from DENVER NORTH CARE CENTER, and it is the single figure on this page that is modelled rather than reported.
Actual pricing at DENVER NORTH CARE CENTER depends on room type, whether the community charges a flat all-inclusive rate or a base rate plus tiered care levels, and one-time community or entrance fees. For skilled nursing, Medicare may cover a limited post-hospital stay in full for the first 20 days and partially through day 100 when the stay qualifies; long-term custodial care is generally paid privately or through Medicaid once assets are spent down.
When you call DENVER NORTH CARE CENTER, ask for the total monthly figure at the care level being recommended — not the base rate — plus the schedule of annual increases over the last three years and what triggers a move to a higher care tier.
