What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★★★☆4/5 · CMS overall rating: 4/5
⚠ The most recent standard health inspection was more than 2 years ago — conditions may have changed.
The health inspection star above is graded on a curve within each state — a set share of each state's facilities gets each star level — so a facility can have few citations and still rate 2–3 stars if others in its state did even better. The overall rating combines that inspection score with staffing and self-reported quality measures.
All citations in the current public record (3)
CMS publishes roughly the last three inspection cycles plus recent complaint investigations. Older surveys drop out of the record as new ones are completed.
| Date | Severity | What the facility was cited for |
|---|---|---|
| Jun 3, 2021 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not protect residents from abuse or neglect. This covers physical, mental, and sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect, by anyone — staff, other residents, or visitors. |
| Jun 3, 2021 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not have or follow an effective program to prevent and control infections — such as proper hand washing, cleaning, and isolation practices. This is the most commonly cited deficiency nationwide. |
| Feb 6, 2020 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not have doctor's orders in place for a resident's immediate care at the time the resident was admitted. |
Inspection trend by year
Citations from standard inspections increased between the last two inspection cycles (1 → 2).
| Year | Citations | Serious (G–L) | Worst severity that year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 1 | 0 | D |
| 2021 | 2 | 0 | D |
Counts reflect the current CMS public record (~3 inspection cycles plus complaint investigations); years with no surveys show no row. Inspection frequency varies, so compare severity as well as counts.
Fines and enforcement (last 3 years)
No fines or payment denials in the published 3-year window.
Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)
| Measure | This facility | Alabama avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 3.52 | 4.43 | 3.95 | bottom 9% in Alabama; bottom 38% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 1.15 | 0.74 | 0.69 | top 8% in Alabama; top 11% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.09 | 3.73 | 3.50 | bottom 14% in Alabama; bottom 36% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.65 | 0.36 | 0.48 | top 7% in Alabama; top 19% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 41.8 | 46.9 | 45.8 | top 32% in Alabama; top 41% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 15.0 | 39.5 | 42.9 | top 10% in Alabama; top 9% in the U.S. |
Hours are per resident per day, case-mix adjusted by CMS so facilities caring for sicker residents can be compared fairly (same basis as the CMS staffing star). "Top X%" means better than most facilities: more staffing hours, or lower turnover. Raw (unadjusted) reported hours: total 3.07, RN 1.00, weekend 2.69. Staffing rating: 4/5.
Self-reported quality measures
Note: these ratings are based on data the facility reports about itself to CMS. They are not independently verified by inspectors, and can look better than inspection findings. Give more weight to the inspection results above.
Quality measures rating: 3/5 · long-stay residents: 3/5 · short-stay residents: 3/5
