Note: Mantey Heights Rehabilitation and Care Center has been flagged for abuse in the past 12 months. We have capped this facility's overall grade accordingly.
Mantey Heights Rehabilitation and Care Center is in Grand Junction, Colorado. With an overall score of D, this is a subpar facility. Keep in mind that Grand Junction received a city grade of B-, so should look at other options in the city as well. The best thing we can say about this place is that it did not receive any F's in any of the categories we assessed. More information about its category grades can be found below.
While we did not have many favorable things to say about this facility's overall grade, it did receive a respectable nursing grade of B-. The nursing grade consists of a handful of datapoints, most of which are tied to nursing hours. This nursing home provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident daily. Roughly a quarter of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the most highly trained levels of nurses. This is a high percentage of skilled nursing care, which we weight more in our nursing ratings. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. This facility performed admirably in this datapoint. Avoiding serious falls is usually a reliable indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a nursing home offers enough nurses to assist its patients.
This facility's next most favorable category was its short-term care score, where it received a grade of B-. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a vast spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. One reason for this place's strong score in this category is that it provides more care from registered nurses to its residents than the typical facility. The last measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 43.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.

The next category we graded is long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a solid grade of B-. Our long-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's amount of nursing care. This means a broad scope of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. We were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated 89.6861 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be quite a few points below what we were hoping for. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.33 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Turning to the final area of health inspections, we gave this nursing home a grade of C for our inspection category. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This means that it dodged the more ominous categories of deficiencies. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
