Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

One of the reasons this place received a great overall grade is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility an A-. When calculating our nursing scores, we analyze both staffing levels and the training levels of those nurses. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place 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 frequently be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a system of turning patients at least once a day.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home also excelled in inspections. We gave it an A- for that category. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. It doesn't appear that we were able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. Without deficiency data for this nursing home, it ended up being difficult to evaluate the place in the inspections category.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The third category we assessed was long-term care. This nursing home received a favorable long-term care score, with a grade of B in the area. For residents looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 90.75145 percent of its patients. This is a bit lower than we were hoping for but still a respectable figure. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Moving on to the last area, this nursing home was awarded an extremely favorable short-term care score. This nursing home didn't end up having any identifiable weaknesses. In the category of short-term care, we seek to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 4.2 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
