CMS Star Ratings

Based on the last three years of on-site inspections and complaint investigations — the rating CMS weights most heavily.

Mountain Vista Health Center holds a 2-star overall rating, in the bottom two tiers CMS assigns. Nursing staff turnover of 66% is well above the Colorado average of 47%; high turnover is one of the strongest predictors of inconsistent care. Federal regulators have fined this facility $39,227 in the last three years. None of this tells you whether a bed is open, whether your insurance is in network, or whether the facility will accept a given level of care — confirm those three directly with the facility before you commit.
