Health inspection rating: ★★★☆☆3/5 · CMS overall rating: 3/5 · how star ratings work →
⚠ 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 quality measures from resident assessments and claims.
Showing the latest 3 of 12 inspection findings. Open the full record below to read every finding.

The facility did not get its food from approved, safe sources, or did not store, prepare, and serve food according to professional food safety standards. F-0812
CMS publishes roughly the last three inspection cycles plus recent complaint investigations. Older surveys drop out of the record as new ones are completed — that window is CMS's, not ours. Within it, every citation CMS publishes for this facility is listed here: none excluded.
| Date | Severity | What the facility was cited for |
|---|---|---|
| Oct 17, 2019 | F · Potential for more than minimal harm, widespread | The facility did not get its food from approved, safe sources, or did not store, prepare, and serve food according to professional food safety standards. · F-0812 |
| Oct 17, 2019 | D · Potential for more than minimal harm, isolated | 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. · F-0880 |

| Aug 17, 2017 | F · Potential for more than minimal harm, widespread | The facility did not store, cook, or serve food in a safe and clean way. · F-0371 |

| Aug 17, 2017 | E · Potential for more than minimal harm, pattern | The facility did not have a proper governing body legally responsible for its policies and operations, or that body did not appoint a properly licensed administrator to run the facility. · F-0493 |
| Aug 17, 2017 | D · Potential for more than minimal harm, isolated | The facility did not create a complete written plan of care covering all of a resident's needs, with clear goals, deadlines, and steps whose progress can be measured. · F-0279 |
| Aug 17, 2017 | D · Potential for more than minimal harm, isolated | The facility did not let residents take part in planning or updating their own care. Residents (and their families or representatives) have the right to help decide how they are cared for. · F-0280 |
| Aug 17, 2017 | D · Potential for more than minimal harm, isolated | The facility did not make sure that care was given by qualified staff following each resident's written care plan — the individualized document that spells out what care each resident needs. · F-0282 |

What these staffing numbers mean →
All bars start at zero. Exact values and supporting details remain below.
| Measure | This facility | Alabama avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 4.19 | 4.43 | 3.95 | bottom 34% in Alabama; top 32% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.75 | 0.74 | 0.69 | top 45% in Alabama; top 32% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.58 | 3.73 | 3.50 | bottom 38% in Alabama; top 38% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.33 | 0.36 | 0.48 | bottom 49% in Alabama; bottom 38% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 56.0 | 46.9 | 45.8 | bottom 23% in Alabama; bottom 23% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 55.6 | 39.5 | 42.9 | bottom 19% in Alabama; bottom 28% in the U.S. |
Hours are per resident per day for the most recent quarter of payroll data in this CMS release (2026-08-01) — the same quarter for every facility — 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 3.73, RN 0.67, weekend 3.19.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (3.73 here, displayed there as hours and minutes), not the adjusted one above. Both are correct; they answer different questions. Staffing rating: 4/5.
Note: CMS combines facility-reported resident assessments (MDS) with claims-based measures. These are different sources from on-site inspection findings. Read the measures alongside inspection and staffing records; a high QM rating does not establish that a home is safe.
Quality measures rating: 2/5 · long-stay residents: 4/5 · short-stay residents: 1/5
Price evidence · separate from quality
No verified facility-specific private-pay price is available in our data for Northside Health Care. CMS inspection and staffing records do not tell us what this home will charge you.
Use a written private-pay quote. This worksheet adds only the amounts you enter; it does not calculate Medicare, Medicaid or insurance benefits.
Formula: (room rate + daily extras) × days + one-time charges. A 30-day scenario is not a calendar-month quote. Refundable deposits, rate changes and charges you omit are not automatically included. Entries are not saved or sent to our server.
