Colorado: CMS Rating Breakdown
Colorado is home to 210 CMS-certified nursing homes, according to current federal figures. The state's nursing homes average a Five-Star overall rating of 3.16 out of 5. By ownership structure, the state's facilities break down as follows: 175 are for-profit operations, 22 are nonprofit, and 13 are government-run.
The Five-Star rating system is a relative measure with documented limitations. A state average serves as a broad indicator of the overall landscape rather than an assessment of any individual facility's quality or performance. The rating should not be construed as medical, financial, or legal advice. Those evaluating specific nursing homes should review each facility's individual profile page and consult its live Care Compare data when making decisions about care or placement.
How to read this. The star ratings here are official CMS Five-Star Quality figures, shown as the rating as of May2026 — a relative quality measure with documented limits, not a recommendation, guarantee, or medical/financial/legal advice. Always confirm the current rating and details on the facility’s live Medicare Care Compare profile, and involve the resident and their clinicians in any decision.

Informational only — not medical, financial, or legal advice. Senior Care by State reports official CMS Five-Star Quality data, which is a relative measure with documented limitations — not a recommendation or a guarantee that any facility is right for you. Choosing care is a personal medical and financial decision: confirm the current details with the facility directly, talk with the resident’s physician and care team, and verify ratings and coverage on Medicare.gov or with your state’s long-term-care or health agency before relying on anything here. For medical, financial, or legal questions, consult a qualified professional.
