Cass County Medical Care Facility

Cass County Medical Care Facility sits at 23770 Hospital Street in Cassopolis, Michigan, out on about 200 acres where you'll find trees, open fields, a couple of ponds with a fishing deck, and sometimes wild turkeys or deer walking by, which gives the place a bit of peace and quiet. The facility has 80 beds and sometimes feels just about the right size so folks don't get lost in the shuffle, but it isn't taking new patients at the moment. The staff speak English and the place stays open all day and night. It's a government-run skilled nursing facility that also offers rehabilitation, and they focus on giving residents care that fits their own needs and wishes, whether it's medication management or therapy to help with recovery. There's a good-sized staff on hand, including nurses, aides, and others, who work to keep everyone as safe and comfortable as possible, not rushing things, but handling what needs to be done. The place participates in Medicare and Medicaid. Counseling services are available for residents. They have programs tied to the Certified Assisted Living Director (CALD), covering both refresher and renewal courses. Activities, food and nutrition services, maintenance, and medical staff are part of the regular services, plus they measure quality to keep track of how everyone's doing. Outpatient therapy is available with physical, occupational, and speech language therapists around seven days a week-sometimes even visiting homes before people leave the facility. Admissions can be sorted out any time, day or night. For a number of years running, U.S. News & World Report rated the place five stars, though the facility doesn't go big on names for what they offer or any fancy amenities. Cass County Medical Care Facility mainly aims to give its residents a good quality of life, with attention to individual needs, and it tries to keep a warm, community feel, with family and friends encouraged to stay involved.
