Overall Ratings
The Poudre Canyon Health and Rehabilitation Center is a nursing home that exhibits varying degrees of standards. With regards to its overall rating, it comfortably falls within the top half of all facilities, but its ratings are just a little below the state average. One area seemingly in need of improvement is the health inspection, where the establishment received a 2-star rating, placing it in the lower 40% of all facilities. This rating is also notably below the state average. However, this doesn't overshadow its high-quality services as evidenced by a perfect 5-star quality rating. This accolade not only ranks the nursing home in the top 20% of all facilities, but also surpassed the state average, reflecting a dedication to providing excellent care.Staff Ratings
Poudre Canyon Health and Rehabilitation Center is a nursing home that has received a 2-star staff rating, making it one of the lower ranking institutions in terms of staff quality. When it comes to nursing aid staffing hours per resident per day, it is among the bottom 20% of facilities, providing only 1.64 hours compared to 2.2 hours, the state average. On a brighter note, the nursing home performs better in terms of LPN staffing hours per resident per day, placing within the top 40% of facilities with its 1.0 hour, which exceeds the state's average of 0.72 hours. Similarly, it ranks in the top half of facilities for RN staffing hours, described at 0.6 hours per resident per day, albeit less than the state's average of 0.86 hours. In terms of licensed staffing hours, it shines in the top 40% of facilities with its 1.59 hours which is slightly above the state's average of 1.58 hours. However, Poudre Canyon falls significantly behind in terms of physical therapist staffing hours per resident per day as it provides zero hours, putting it in the bottom 10% of facilities, and far less than the state's average of 0.09 hours.Covid Data
Proudly nestling within the top 30% of facilities concerning the resident vaccination rate, The Poudre Canyon Health and Rehabilitation Center maintains an impressive score of up-to-date vaccinations. Clocking in at 84.5%, their resident up-to-date vaccination rate starkly surpasses the state average of 66.9%. Furthermore, the nursing home stands in the upper echelon of facilities, belonging to the top 10% when it comes to staff being up-to-date with the latest vaccinations. A whopping 74.7% of their staff are vaccinated, a number that significantly overshadows the state average staff vaccination rate of 37.6%.Quality Measures
The Poudre Canyon Health and Rehabilitation Center, with its 5-star quality measure rating, is at the top of the scale in terms of service quality. However, it does fall in the bottom 30% of facilities concerning the percent of residents with a catheter left inserted in their bladder, accounting for 1.94% of its residents. That exceeds the state average of 1.8% in this aspect. The same bottom 30% classification applies to weight loss among residents, where the Center has 7.58% of its residents losing a substantial amount of weight, a figure that surpasses the state's average of 6.14%. Moreover, while the Center is positioned in the lower half of facilities considering the percent of residents experiencing depressive symptoms, it's lower than the state average. The percentage standing at 3.1, compared to the state average of 3.87%. Repeatedly, the Nursing Home displays slightly higher rates of residents with catheters inserted and left in their bladder than the state’s average of 1.8%.Emergency and Hospitalization Quality Measures
The Poudre Canyon Health And Rehabilitation Center is a nursing home that prides itself on its hospitalization record, being among the top 40% of facilities with a rate of 1.34 hospitalizations per 1000 days, notably less than the state's average of 1.38. However, its record for outpatient emergency department visits per 1000 days, sitting at 1.33, places it in the bottom 40% of facilities and is higher than the state's average of 1.07. Regarding the proportion of short-stay residents making such visits, the center again falls into the bottom 20% with 19.79%, exceeding the state's number of 13.24%. On a brighter note, the center ranks admirably in the top 10% for the percent of short-stay residents rehospitalized after a nursing home admission. Despite a rate of 11.83%, it is considerably lower than the state's percentage of 19.73%, reflecting a higher rehabilitating efficiency after initial admission.Healthcare Nearby

#3 should say it all!!!!!! New boss,old but young staff, not in sinc yet? Something needs to be done,A.S.A.P!!!!
Don't argue with the family when they request a change to preserve their elder's dignity. Just this last weekend, a nurse argued with me!
Horrible facility. Beware of your family members if you decide to put them here. Administration is out for money and will try and ignore and hide all major issues - including abandonment, neglect, fraud, and abuse.
The nursing staff are passionate, dedicated, astute, and tuned-in to the sector of the community we serve. From veteran nurses to brand-spanking-new, our nurses are committed to person-centered, individualize care and using current best practices.
Fort Collins Health Care has made so many wonderful changes both inside and out. This family of care givers come from all walks of life and do an amazing job of celebrating each person that is cared for. This truly is a home filled with hearts and souls of compassion and joy.
My mom has been in Fort Collins Health Care now for 4 days and the quality and level of excellence that they have given to my mom is just outstanding. One of her nurses 'Hannah' shows great care for my mom and concern for her well being as well as the rest of the staff. I'm just so impressed. Thank you Fort Collins Health Care for excellence.
This is the worst place that I have seen. The staff are good people but their care is poor. I didn't believe everyone that I talked to gave them a bad reputation. I had to find out the hard way. My friend kept getting worse until I said enough is enough I have to get him out of there. Good people in a bad place.
I want to thank Matt and his staff for working with me to solve some pressing issues with one of your patients who is a close friend of mine. Accommodating and pleasant are two words that come immediately to mind.
This is a clean, yet personable place. All equipment is modern, new and obviously well maintained. All items for residents are well stocked and easy to get to.The staff at this facility is amazing. Everyone is professional and very good at their jobs. I feel that there is an overwhelming, genuine dedication to the care of each resident. Everyone is always eager to assist in whatever way possible, no matter the intensity of need. I noticed that the facility supervisors and more senior staff can often be found taking a personal interest in the care of each and every individual. Care like this is exceptional, and I would recommend this location to anyone.
The nurses and CNAs are wonderful, mostly. They are often short staffed and leave one CNA to do the work of 2-3 people. Many of the nurses are weary of the doctor at the facility and his recommendations. Regardless of how well intentioned and good at their job many of the medical professionals, this has led to a lot of neglect, especially for late stage dementia patients. Many residents do not get their teeth brushed or nails cut, especially diabetic patients. Residents who require mobility assistance to leave bed have been left in bed for many, many hours. The worst I saw at a resident who had been left in bed for over 24 hours before I clocked in for my shift. Management is second-rate and I would be hesitant to send my loved older adults here. It is no question why they fail to keep staff, both management and medical, working at the facility. Management has lost multiple sets of paperwork, including banking information and other financial paperwork. Management ignores my emails and even when they do respond, they are generally unfriendly and unhelpful. I had to talk to several people in order to obtain help, eventually I communicated strictly with the administrator. He seems to be the only competent person on the management staff. Perhaps this will change, as they did transition to being owned by a new company in late September. Regardless the building is in shambles. There are frequent issues with sinks and toilets within the building, many of which do not get fixed for days or do not get fixed at all. The building is infested with flies and other insects. The rooms are very small, but most contain two people anyway. There is very little sunlight in the building and very little to do during the day besides sit in the lounge or their rooms and watch TV. Most residents I've interacted with have stated that they would like to find a way to get out of this facility.
One of my favorite facilities to work at! There is always a positive work environment and the residents really benefit from that because we are always able to go the extra mile for them since we have that good teamwork.
Understaffed, aging facility with the odor of urine and disinfectant. Unskilled workers friendly but spread too thin. Facility doctor talked to my mother from the doorway; did not do a thorough and professional exam. But they sure billed Medicare for the visits. Mom had to return to PVH; their lack of care was a contributing factor.
I have called this facility THREE TIMES looking for information for a room for my Dad and not one return phone call. That speaks pretty loud and clear for me.
Ask a health care worker this place is horrible to work at yet alone put you family member there they don’t care about anyone not even the residents the place is nasty it smells very very very bad the DON Two faced the administration is horrible the places just needs to be shut down ASAP I don’t even see how they pass state unless they are paying them off the patient ratio is 25-30 people no help stay fAr far away
The therapy department in this building is extremely compassionate in treating all patients. They go the extra mile to ensure patients achieve their maximum potential and feel confident in their recovery. They treat everyone as family and put every patient's needs first.
Neglect, abandonment, untrained staff, the list goes on and on. Not a facility I would EVER recommend to anyone, under any circumstance. These patients deserve much better!
This facility should not be up and running. As a past health care professional, the staff and administration at TFCHCC are untrained, understaffed, lazy, and exhibit no genuine care towards the wellbeing of their residents. I would HIGHLY suggest looking into all other options before ever contemplating putting a loved one in this very neglectful home. Our mom was left in bed (she is wheelchair bound, not bed bound) for the first 48 STRAIGHT HOURS she was in the facility. It was claimed that “it was close to a holiday” and “it was a weekend” as well as “the first few days are like a trial period,” as if any of these reasons were acceptable excuses to leave a human being in a bed for 2 days straight. The Fort Collins Heath Care Center does not provide ethical, appropriate medical treatment for any resident left under their care.
This home has focused on the quality of care and compassion for its residents. The residents smile and are active in their home. While it may not be the newest facility, I constantly hear that it is the one that has the most caring staff.
Proud to be part of this family. What a difference the staff has made this last year. The culture is like its never been! Being able to experience the changes and movement that is taking place has exceeded my career expectations. Really excited for future residents and staff to come enjoy our team.
“This is truly the home that cares.” The staff go above and beyond to help the residents. Between the residents and staff it feels like family.
Staff real friendly. Real clean. Good therapy. Food is good. Much nicer than previous rehabs..
