Country Club Care Center of Warrensburg

Country Club Care Center of Warrensburg is a small nursing home in Warrensburg, Missouri. Sporting an overall rating of B, this nursing home is a quality option. In fact, we thought highly enough of this nursing home to rank it ahead of most of the facilities in Warrensburg. This nursing home's strong profile was highlighted by its inspection score, which you can find in the next paragraph.

On top of performing well in its overall grade, this facility performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively insignificant. While this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Among this nursing home's other accomplishments is its dominant long-term care score. We gave them one of our most impressive grades in that category, with a grade of A-. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in this category it is typically a good sign for resident care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 98.46939 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. This nursing home also keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 1.45 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.

Additionally, this facility also was awarded favorable short-term care scores this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our higher grades in that area, with a score of B. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. The final item we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that it fared better than most facilities in this area with 51 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, at most facilities, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.

The last category we assessed was nursing, which ended up being this nursing home's worst category. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in that category. Naturally, this grade pulled down the facility's overall grade to some degree. Our nursing score analyzes quite a few subcategories, but the most important one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This place averaged only 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is well below average. Unfortunately, this nursing home also did not perform as well as we hoped in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at for this category.
