■CLIFTON — CHfeon Care Center re-
cently underwent its first annual in-
spection by the Texas Department of
Human Services, and received an ‘ex-
cellent survey,” said a CCC spokesman.
Tha state team — consisting of two
registered nurses, one social worker,
and one pharmacist — arrived unan-
nounced, as required by law. The sur-
vey consisted of meeting all residents,
interviewing residents and their family
members, and reviewing records and
polities. The team observed the nurs-
ing staff providing various skills includ-
ing dressings, medications, and
ventilation management
The inspectors were pleased with
what they saw, and complemented the
nursing staff for “doing an excellent
job" and providing good care. The nurs-
ing staff is proud of receiving “zero
deficiencies.”
When asked about the care provided
by the aides at the center, resident
Cindy Sandel replied that she calls them
“angels.”
Food at the center was evaluated for
proper diet, temperature, appearance,
and how the residents liked it.
“The food was passed with flying
colors, with many compliments given
about the food served,” said the spokes-
manvOne inspector said this was highly
unusual as there is almost always some
complaints about food served when
conducting inspections.
In addition to the nursing staff, the
center received high marks for its
therapy department, which provides
physical, occupational, speech, and res-
piratory therapy.
“Pet therapy is provided by Buz, a
playful Siamese cat, who charmed the
inspectors,” said the spokesman.
Buz lives at the facility, and makes
his rounds several times i day, enter-
taining the residents with his acrobat-
ics and string-chasing antics. There’s
always a crowd gathered when the “Buz
Show” is on, the spokesman remarked.
Clifton Care Center is planning a re-
union for persbns who have been able
to return to their homes after stays at
the center. Randall West, administra-
tor, credits these “success stories” in
