Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Short-term Care Quality
On top of receiving a great overall score, this facility received an A+ in the area of short-term care. In crafting these short-term care grades, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to devise a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. This facility excelled in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It offered more care from physical therapists and registered nurses than the average nursing home. This is generally an excellent sign. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in Colorado in this area with 74.4 percent of its patients returning home. With most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. In fact, nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this nursing home an A+. In calculating a facility's nursing rating, we consider the number of hours nurses are caring for patients and the level of skill of those nurses. This facility boasts a really impressive 4.1 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, of which a significant portion was provided by registered nurses. This is one of the most highly trained levels of nurses. On top of providing impressive levels of care, this place also excelled in the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed as well as any nursing home in the state in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on our next area, this nursing home was given first-rate long-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it a score of A in that category. For patients looking for a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. Although we determined this facility had an above average amount of nursing care provided by aids and other nursing staff, we found its vaccination rate to be somewhat below average. It gave the pneumonia vaccine to just 67.17949 percent of its residents. This is one statistic we would really like to see this facility improve. This facility also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 1.44 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home has earned near flawless government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. This is one of the few nursing homes in the nation to receive an A- or better in all four categories. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category typically avoided the more 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.
