Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

To pair with its favorable overall score, we gave this facility an A- for the area of inspections. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. While this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A couple relatively minor dings aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Among its many impressive scores, this nursing home earned an excellent nursing grade. We gave it an B+ in that category. Nursing scores are primarily associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility Colorado in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of moving a resident more frequently.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

The third category we looked at was short-term care. This nursing home was awarded a very positive short-term care score, with a B+ in this area. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents that were able to return home from this facility. We found that 4.9 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The last area we analyzed is long-term care. This nursing home received a very good long-term care grade in our assessment, with a B. This nursing home truly doesn't have any weak areas. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 82.72251 percent of its residents against pneumonia. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, at least this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
