Clay County Nursing Home, known as Clay County Nursing Home, is a non-profit skilled nursing facility and part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community, and while it's connected to a hospital for quick transfers, it has a total of 83 licensed beds with 8 open as of June 2025. The facility accepts Medicare and Medicaid and cares for both ambulatory and non-ambulatory residents needing long-term care or short-term rehab, with services like physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy offered as needed. The staff, including RNs, LPNs, and CNAs, provide 12 to 16 hours of nursing care with 24-hour supervision, and there's always a 24-hour call system for safety, plus they're pretty good with a staff rating of 4, though their quality measures rating is a 2 and recent records show 5 fire safety and 1 health deficiency. Residents get help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, and medicine management, and special programs like the secured unit and Memory Care (formerly Unit 2) exist for folks needing more safety, like those with dementia or wandering risks, and the Victory Lane Short Term Rehabilitation area focuses on hip and knee surgery recovery with a usual stay of around 20 days.
Rooms come furnished with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, telephones, cable TV, and air conditioning, with plenty of natural light, and residents can pick their own doctors from the on-site medical staff. Meals are served in the community dining room or through restaurant-style service, and the kitchen handles allergy-sensitive and diabetes diets. Everybody can enjoy community features such as movie nights, outdoor walking paths, a business room, a wellness and fitness center called Healthy Choices, Healthy Living, and plenty of lounge and activity spaces. There's an emergency alert system, arts rooms, a library, and a movie theater among the amenities, and scheduled daily activities show up regularly on the calendar, with both resident and family councils meeting to talk about concerns and life quality. Clay County Nursing Home provides help for both long and short-term stays, with services such as wound care, x-ray, sleep disorder, outpatient surgery, non-invasive heart checks, mammograms, endoscopy, and even a cardiac intensive care unit, plus it offers therapies for mobility, independence, and overall health, along with hospice and respite care for families who need a break or help near the end of life.
The whole place aims for a supportive setting where people's privacy and independence matter, pets can come visit inside if their shots are current, and the staff support physical, social, and emotional well-being through wellness programs, chaplaincy services, and support groups. Residents can smoke with vapor electronic cigarettes or smokeless tobacco, and the secured wing lets those with memory or safety needs have some freedom to move safely. Everybody gets their own care plan shaped by medical needs or personal wishes, with the team working together from hospital staff to therapy workers, and the nursing home keeps up outpatient services and a hospital volunteer program for added support. Transport for hospital care is free by stretcher if needed, and DME (home medical equipment) is part of the services too. Family and resident councils meet monthly, and education and emotional support help everyone stay involved and informed.
So, while there are a few fire safety and health issues recently reported, Clay County Nursing Home still offers a wide range of skilled care, therapies, social opportunities, and maintains a safe, compassionate environment for adults needing nursing help or rehabilitation, always with a focus on residents' comfort, dignity, and daily needs.
