Country Time Inn

602 Brevard Road Kings Mountain, Nc 28086, Kings Mountain, NC 28086
Overview of Country Time Inn

Country Time Inn is a 59-bed nursing home at 602 Brevard Road, Kings Mountain, Gaston County, North Carolina. The facility provides 24-hour skilled nursing care, secured living, and Special Care Unit services; accepts Medicaid; and offers respite care. An overall 3-star state rating places it 40th of 138 North Carolina homes.

Medication management and healthcare follow-up represent the facility’s central regulatory challenge. The March 5, 2025 annual inspection found five deficiencies: failure to notify the primary care provider when a sampled resident’s blood sugar readings fell below 80 or exceeded 450; failure to implement insulin lispro orders for elevated blood sugars in two residents; failure to clarify and administer a sertraline order for depression; and failure to update Special Care Unit resident profiles quarterly for two residents. The inspection examined six sampled residents, reviewed nine finger stick blood sugar readings, audited ten insulin lispro units, and checked three medication administration instances. These deficiencies echo January 2019 findings: the facility had failed to schedule orthopedic follow-up after a resident fall and failed to reschedule a missed cardiac rehabilitation appointment.

Over six years, across six inspections, Country Time Inn averaged 3.3 deficiencies per year, 37 percent better than North Carolina’s 5.2-deficiency annual average.

Physical plant and construction compliance deficiencies cluster in earlier years. March 2016 brought seven: inadequate ventilation causing odors, scratched interior doors, unmaintained HVAC grilles with grease accumulation, moldy shower tile, malfunctioning exit doors, fire protection equipment fouled with particulate, and absent fire detection in the Special Care Unit and dining closet. February 2018 cited three: missing emergency release switch at a magnetically locked exit, non-functional emergency lighting in the Special Care Unit courtyard, and a water heater leak. November 2015 found two: worn walls, doors, carpets, and floors throughout the facility; stained and damaged resident chairs.

December 2023’s construction survey identified one: new generator installation completed without required state documentation. The facility operates restaurant-style dining, entertainment and library rooms, outdoor common areas, transportation, housekeeping, and 24-hour staffing. No fines or license suspensions appear in the record.

Families should ask about corrective actions taken following the March 2025 medication management findings and current protocols for blood sugar notification and medication order clarification.

How do I choose the right senior community in North Carolina?
