• Turnover of 54.0% runs above the local median; ask what share of each shift is agency staff.
• Ask what prompted $79,098 in CMS fines and whether the underlying problem is closed.
• Occupancy is about 92%; 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 The Healthcare Resort of Colorado Springs accepts Health First Colorado for long stays and whether a resident who spends down keeps the same room.
