Century Care Center Ranked As One Of The Best In The State
December 21, 2008
Century Care Center has received a five star rating from the federal government, making it one of the top rated nursing homes in the area and placing it in the top 10 percent of for-profit nursing homes in the nation.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services modeled the five-star rating system after the star rating system for hotels and restaurants, basing scores on inspection records, complaint investigations and various quaility measures. Those criteria were assigned individually in the categories of quality, staffing and health inspections to create an overall score.
Just four nursing homes in Escambia County made the five-star list: Century Care Center, Bayside Manor, Haven of Our Lady Of Peace and Rosewood Manor. Three others received the four-star score, three made the three-star list, two received two stars, and one — Pensacola Health Care Facility — received a one-star score.
In Santa Rosa County, three nursing homes received the top score. In Escambia County, Ala., Atmore Nursing Center received three stars, and West Gate Village in Brewton received four stars.
Century Care Center has 88 licensed beds.
In Florida, there were more one-star rating nursing homes than five-star. Seventeen percent of Florida’s 679 nursing homes received one star, while 12 percent received five stars. Nationally, just 9 percent of for-profit nursing homes received five stars.

Congratulations!! You have certainly earned this award. I pray you will keep up the good work. I know you do have to work hard to keep everything looking as nice as it does all the time.
Dec. 6th I went with my Cub Scout Pack 232 to visit the residents and staff. We passed out Christmas cards, chatted, hugged and sang Christmas songs for the hour we were there. This was the 3 year we have done this and look forward to continuing to spread good cheer. In regards to this story, we have always found the place to be clean, the staff friendly and taking very good care of the residents, who are happy living there. Several of my Cubs have great-grandmothers that live here and I’m sure its nice to see that the have received such a high rating. Keep up the great work Century Care Center and congratulations.
