Community Pride Care Center
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Community Pride Care Center in Battle Creek, Nebraska, has a Trust Grade of B+, which means it is recommended and above average in quality. It ranks #43 out of 177 facilities in Nebraska, placing it in the top half, and is the highest-rated facility among five in Madison County. The facility's performance has been stable, with eight identified issues in both 2023 and 2024, indicating no significant improvement or decline. Staffing is a weakness, as it has a low rating of 1 out of 5 stars, with a turnover rate of 46%, slightly better than the state average. On the positive side, the facility has no fines on record and has received excellent ratings for health inspections. However, there are concerning areas that families should note. For example, the center failed to create comprehensive care plans for some residents, which could impact their medical needs. Additionally, there were lapses in personal protective equipment protocols for a resident requiring enhanced precautions, and another incident involved an incomplete investigation following a resident's fall. While the facility has strengths, it is important for families to weigh these concerns when making a decision.
