Nurse Quality
Although we didn't give this nursing home a good overall grade, we did give it a strong grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B+. Our nursing grade assesses quite a few datapoints, many of which are tied to quantities 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-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place Colorado in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a policy of moving a patient more often.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given an impressive short-term care grade. Indeed, we awarded them a grade of B in this area, which is one of our more favorable scores. In the area of short-term care, we strive to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this facility submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Facility Inspections
This place received an F for its inspection rating. This is an important category. Scores in this range often mean we found some red flags on the nursing home's government inspection reports. When a place has this poor of an inspection rating, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This facility was assessed 5 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they caused a risk to resident health or safety. Lastly, we would like to point out that this place was assessed large government fines recently totaling over $100,000. This generally indicates that a poor track record has been an issue for multiple years.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we scored was long-term care. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this area, which is an abysmal grade. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it typically means the nursing home didn't perform well in our quality measures relating to resident care. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. We were concerned by the fact that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 71.875 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
