About Cass County Medical Care Facility

Cass County Medical Care Facility is a Medicare- and Medicaid-certified skilled nursing facility in Cassopolis, Michigan, operating under CMS Certification Number (CCN) 235352. 80-bed facility. Government - County. Independent (not part of a multi-facility chain). The facility is required to comply with the Requirements for Long-Term Care Facilities at 42 CFR Part 483.

Cass County Medical Care Facility has held its Medicare/Medicaid certification for approximately 48 years (certification date on file: 1977-10-08). Long-tenured facilities (15+ years) often have established F-tag remediation playbooks and a deeper standard-survey trail; newly-certified facilities (under 3 years) are subject to a different initial survey cadence under 42 CFR 488.308.

Local market context (Cass County): Cass County Medical Care Facility is the only Medicare-certified skilled nursing facility in the same-county sample for Michigan. Sole-provider counties concentrate post-acute placement decisions into a single facility, which can either be operational leverage or a regulatory-visibility risk depending on quality trajectory.

CMS Five-Star Quality Ratings

CMS publishes Five-Star ratings for nursing homes monthly, drawn from the most recent three years of standard surveys, complaint surveys, and Minimum Data Set (MDS) submissions.

Long-Stay vs Short-Stay Quality Measures

Long-Stay Quality Measure rating: ★★★★★ (5 of 5). Long-stay measures cover residents in the facility 100+ days and include indicators like residents experiencing one or more falls with major injury, residents whose ability to move independently worsened, and residents with a urinary tract infection.

Short-Stay Quality Measure rating: ★★★★★ (5 of 5). Short-stay measures cover post-acute residents discharged within 100 days and include rehospitalization within 30 days, successful return to community, and improvement in function.

Differentiating long-stay from short-stay QMs matters for placement decisions — a facility with strong short-stay QMs may still underperform on long-stay metrics, and vice versa.

Compliance Red Flags

Cass County Medical Care Facility has none of the four CMS-published red-flag indicators active at the most recent publish: not on the Special Focus Facility list, no Abuse Icon on Care Compare, no overdue inspection flag, and no recent change-of-ownership flag. Absence of these flags does not mean the facility is deficiency-free — see the survey history below.

Survey History and Deficiencies

Recent health deficiencies cited at last standard survey: 5. National average for facilities of this size is approximately 8 deficiencies per cycle. In its most recent reporting cycle, Cass County Medical Care Facility received 2 CMS fines totaling $15,593. Last documented standard health survey: 2025-03-25. CMS conducts standard surveys at most every 15 months for SNFs, with substandard-quality findings triggering more frequent revisits.

Infection Control and Deficiency Weighting

CMS health survey weighted score: 43. The weighted score multiplies deficiency severity (A-L) by scope (isolated, pattern, widespread); higher weighted scores translate directly into the Health Inspection star rating tier breakpoints CMS publishes monthly.

CMS Enforcement Actions

Total enforcement penalties assessed in the most recent reporting window: $2. This figure aggregates Civil Money Penalties (CMPs), DPNA-equivalent revenue impacts, and other monetary remedies under 42 CFR Part 488 Subpart F.

Staffing Detail

Cass County Medical Care Facility already meets the cadre-specific minimums scheduled to take effect on the May 2027 timeline under 89 FR 40876 (RN 0.828 HPRD vs the 0.55 floor; nurse-aide 3.239 HPRD vs the 2.45 floor). The constraint going forward is sustaining these levels under turnover pressure.

Total nurse staffing: 4.632 hours per resident day (HPRD), which is 1.15 hours above the 3.48 total HPRD floor that the CMS Minimum Staffing Standards rule (89 FR 40876, May 2024) phases in for non-rural facilities by May 2027.

Staffing mix: RN 0.828 HPRD, LPN 0.565 HPRD, CNA 3.239 HPRD. The same CMS final rule also phases in cadre-specific minimums of 0.55 RN HPRD and 2.45 nurse aide HPRD on the 2027 timeline; RN-specific shortfalls have historically been the most common single-facility staffing deficiency at standard surveys.

Weekend RN staffing: 0.632 HPRD. Weekend RN coverage is a separately reported CMS measure; facilities with low weekend RN HPRD frequently see resident-acuity-driven adverse events spike on the weekend shift.

Total nurse staff turnover: 38% annualized — moderate.

RN-specific turnover: 47.1% annualized. RN turnover above 50% is the single strongest correlate with QM rating decline in CMS's own internal analyses.

Administrator turnover events in the most recent reporting window: 1. Multiple administrator changes in a 12-month window is associated with substantial leadership-discontinuity risk during the next standard survey.

Chain Context and Facility Type

Cass County Medical Care Facility is independently operated (not part of a multi-facility chain). Independent SNFs typically rely on internal compliance staff or contracted consultants rather than corporate-level survey-prep teams; this affects both how quickly Plans of Correction are produced and how F-tag remediation is documented across multiple shifts.

Provider type designation: Medicare And Medicaid.

The facility is classified by CMS as urban (within a metropolitan statistical area). Urban SNFs typically face higher acuity post-acute admissions, more competitive labor markets, and stricter local-jurisdiction infection control requirements layered on top of federal CoPs.

How Cass County Medical Care Facility Compares to Peers in Michigan
