What the CMS Record Reveals About WALBRIDGE MEMORIAL CONVALESCENT WING
WALBRIDGE MEMORIAL CONVALESCENT WING operates 30 certified beds in MEEKER, CO with approximately 30 residents currently in care, and carries a CMS overall rating of 2 out of 5 stars. The overall score is a composite of three weighted sub-ratings published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services: health inspection results (3★), staffing levels (1★), and quality measures (2★). Because CMS caps the overall score at the health-inspection tier and then adjusts up or down based on staffing and quality, the sub-scores often tell a sharper story than the headline star count alone — a 3-star facility with weak inspection history reads differently from one held back by thin staffing.
The inspection file contains 19 deficiency records from recent surveys, of which 6 reached the actual-harm or immediate-jeopardy threshold on the CMS scope-and-severity grid. On the enforcement side, CMS has assessed 1 penalty totaling $30K against this provider, a tangible indicator that regulators moved beyond citation into financial consequence.
Classified as "Government - Hospital district" ownership and operating as a "Medicare and Medicaid" provider, WALBRIDGE MEMORIAL CONVALESCENT WING falls into a category where comparative context matters. National research consistently shows that ownership structure, staffing hours, and turnover are the three operational levers that correlate most strongly with resident outcomes — ratings and fines are lagging indicators of those upstream choices. For families evaluating this facility, the CMS record should be read alongside a site visit, direct conversation with current residents and their families, and review of the state health department's most recent inspection report — the star rating is a starting point, not a verdict. All data on this page is sourced from CMS Provider Data and the Nursing Home Compare program; always verify details directly with the facility or your state survey agency before making placement decisions.
