    NursingHomeIQ Analysis

    Summary

    The data for this facility reflects high health inspection findings and below-average registered nurse staffing levels, contrasted by stable weekend care ratios and high quality-measure ratings for long-term residents.

    Detailed Analysis

    Data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) reveals a facility with a declining health inspection profile. The facility's health inspection rating recently decreased from a 3-star to a 2-star rating, following an inspection that identified 17 findings. One of these findings involved a 'Severity D' citation regarding the protection of residents from abuse and neglect. Additionally, the facility was issued a fine of $9,636 in October 2024.

    Regarding personnel, the facility provides 3.23 total hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below the Colorado state average of 3.70 hours. While the facility maintains stable leadership with zero administrator departures, the nursing staff turnover rate of 50% is higher than the state average of 48.6%. Continuity of care is supported by a relatively low reliance on contract or agency workers, who account for 8.1% of total nursing hours. Weekend staffing levels remain consistent with weekday levels, showing less than a 1% decrease in total nursing hours on Saturdays and Sundays. Quality measures for long-stay residents remain a statistical strength, earning the highest possible CMS rating in that specific category.

    Key Findings

    The most recent health inspection in October 2024 cited 17 findings, which is significantly higher than the Colorado state average of 8.7 findings.

    Staffing records show 0.55 hours of registered nurse care per resident per day, which is 33% lower than the state average of 0.82 hours.

    Total nursing staff turnover is 50%, a rate that indicates half of the nursing workforce left the facility within a 12-month period.

    Performance Trends (24 months)

    This shows how the facility's federal ratings have changed over the past 24 months. Consistent high ratings suggest stable quality, while declining trends may warrant further investigation.

    Staffing Deep Dive

    Staffing depth is the strongest predictor of care quality. Facilities routinely cut staff on evenings and weekends — the shifts when falls happen and call lights go unanswered.
