About Nursing Home Care in Westminster
Westminster, CO presents a concerning market for nursing home care, with only one facility standing out among a sea of problematic options. The standout is Brookdale Westminster, which, while not without its issues, is the best choice in a city where families should proceed with caution. Overall, the options are limited and the average rating of 3.0 stars signals that families should be vigilant in their search for care.
When considering facilities, Brookdale Westminster is worth a visit for its clean record with zero fines in the past three years. Additionally, Greenridge Estates has a well-staffed environment which can be beneficial for residents, although it still has some concerns. Unfortunately, there are no truly recommended options in Westminster, so families might find better alternatives by looking at nearby cities like Thornton or Broomfield.
Families should avoid Park Forest Care Center, Inc., which is on the CMS Special Focus list due to serious abuse citations. Also, skip Life Care Center of Westminster and Village Care and Rehabilitation Center, The, both of which have received a troubling Grade F. When visiting any facility, make sure to ask about staffing levels and resident care routines to get a clearer picture of the environment.

Understanding Our Trust Score System
The Trust Score is a 0-100 rating calculated from CMS's official nursing home database. The score combines five data categories:
- Health Inspection Results — Recent deficiencies, their severity, and patterns over time
- Staffing Levels — RN hours, total nursing hours, and weekend staffing
- Quality Measures — Clinical outcomes like falls, pressure ulcers, and rehospitalizations
- Penalties — Fines, payment denials, and enforcement actions
- Complaints — Substantiated complaints and their severity
In Westminster, 1 facility scores a B grade or better, indicating they meet quality benchmarks across these categories. We recommend families prioritize these facilities and carefully research any facility rated C or below before visiting.

Westminster facilities average 0.79 RN hours per resident day, which meets the CMS-recommended threshold of 0.75 hours. The typical Westminster resident receives approximately 47 minutes of RN attention daily—compared to the 45 minutes experts recommend.
