Which tour questions matter most at Mountain View Post Acute?
Let the CMS figures set the agenda: ask for the plan of correction covering the 12 deficiencies cited December 11, 2025, and what is different now.
- Turnover of 50.0% is at or under the local median; ask which charge nurses have worked nights the longest.
- Ask what prompted $29,224 in CMS fines and whether the underlying problem is closed.
- Occupancy is about 93%; ask whether there is a waiting list and whether rehab beds are kept separate.
- CMS lists a resident council; ask when it meets and whether family members may attend.
- If Medicaid may pay later, confirm Mountain View Post Acute accepts Health First Colorado for long stays and whether a resident who spends down keeps the same room.
