Century Care Center celebrated the taste of success Friday with steak and all the trimmings.

Century Care has received a top award for patient care, beating out 13 other nursing homes in the state of Florida. And Friday, Director Don Ripley (pictured above) treated all of the staff, invited guests from the community and residents to steak, potatoes, salad, cake, ice cream and more.

Century Care received the President’s Circle of Excellence award from Summit Care. Summit Care is a management company based in Tallahassee that currently manages Century Care and 13 other nursing care facilities in the state. Century Care was rated the company’s number one facility.

“We have a wonderful team working to provide the best care available to your moms, dads, grannies, grandpas, aunts, uncles, and friends. We work hard, we care, and
we are proud,” said Activities Director Mae Hildreth.

Century Care is also ranked among the top five percent of nursing homes in Florida, currently ranking 33 out of 670 care facilities in the state. When new numbers are tabulated, they expect that to increase to number 12 out of 670.

March 2008 information from the Florida Agency for Health Care Information shows that Century Care Center received five of a possible five stars for “Quality of Care”, “Quality of Life”, “Nutrition and Hydration”, “Restraints and Abuse”, “Pressure Ulcers”, “Decline” and “Dignity”. The five star rating in categories like “Pressure Ulcers” indicates that facility does not suffer a problem in that area.

“Thanks to all staff for making our surveys rank above average in quality of care,” Hildreth said.

The only other Summit Care facilities in Northwest Florida are located in Milton.
