Who they are
You are looking at Brookdale in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Public detail on this specific employer’s pay bands, units, and scheduling is still thin, so the clearest facts right now are about the city and the local market around you.
More about Brookdale
Colorado Springs sits roughly 1% above the national cost of living. The state uses a flat income tax near 4.4% and participates in the nurse licensure compact, which matters if you are moving with a compact license already in hand. Neighborhoods people often short-list for safer streets and workable rent include Old Colorado City, Northeast Colorado Springs, Northgate, Northwest Colorado Springs, and Briargate, with median rents in those pockets ranging from about $1,126 to about $1,862. Nearby, UCHealth appears in local data around a $35.29 hourly median, and several home health and post-acute employers also show active hiring. That gives you a few market reference points while you decide whether to start an application here and ask Brookdale directly about the numbers and the day-to-day.
