Health inspection rating: ★☆☆☆☆1/5 · CMS overall rating: 1/5 · 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.
▲ Immediate jeopardy, isolated · Jun 18, 2024 · F-0600 · triggered by a complaint
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.
Why it matters: Abuse and neglect cause direct physical and emotional harm and are among the most serious failures a nursing home can have.
Severity (J): Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety was cited. The scope was isolated: limited residents, staff, or locations were affected. Scope describes the extent of the deficiency, not whether it happened on previous inspections.
Corrected: Jul 23, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, isolated · Jun 18, 2024 · F-0740 · triggered by a complaint

Why it matters: A resident's untreated mental health needs can worsen and take a toll on their physical health too.
Severity (J): Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety was cited. The scope was isolated: limited residents, staff, or locations were affected. Scope describes the extent of the deficiency, not whether it happened on previous inspections.

▲ Immediate jeopardy, isolated · Jun 18, 2024 · F-0741 · triggered by a complaint

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) | 4.05 | 4.43 | 3.95 | bottom 29% in Alabama; top 37% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.85 | 0.74 | 0.69 | top 27% in Alabama; top 24% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.27 | 3.73 | 3.50 | bottom 20% in Alabama; bottom 45% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.44 | 0.36 | 0.48 | top 24% in Alabama; top 41% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 54.7 | 46.9 | 45.8 | bottom 26% in Alabama; bottom 26% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 35.0 | 39.5 | 42.9 | top 43% in Alabama; top 38% 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 3.46, RN 0.72, weekend 2.79.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (3.46 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: 3/5 · long-stay residents: 4/5 · short-stay residents: 2/5
Price evidence · separate from quality
No verified facility-specific private-pay price is available in our data for The Health Center at Research Park. 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.
