Staffing

Nursing staff spend about 2.67 hours per resident per day at Park Forest Care Center, below the Colorado median of 3.47 (US median: 3.72). About 0.35 of those hours are from registered nurses. On weekends it falls to 2.50 hours, 6% below its all-week average. 75.6% of nursing staff left within a year (Colorado median 46.6%).
