Facility Inspections
We also would like to emphasize that this facility has earned excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave them an A in this category. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

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 many times be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of moving patients even once per day.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we analyzed is short-term care. This facility was given a strong nursing rating this year, with a B. Although this isn't as impressive as a few of its other grades, this remains one of our better scores in this area. Short-term care scores are vital for people seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional skilled nursing. This includes a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home.
