Local staffing, inspection dates and questions to ask →
In Birmingham
How to read this table: "Overall" is the CMS star rating, which combines inspections, staffing, and quality measures from resident assessments and claims; "Inspection" is the on-site health inspection rating — the most independent signal, and the one CMS grades on a curve against other facilities in the same state. Flags are federal abuse citations and Special Focus status.
What to check in Birmingham
These figures cover the 20 facilities in this city, excluding nearby alternatives. They describe published records, not current vacancies or a recommendation.
All bars start at zero. Exact values and supporting details remain below.
Both averages use the same 19 facilities, with equal weight per facility. 1 facility is excluded because one or both values are unavailable. These are CMS case-mix-adjusted measures, not the hours any individual resident is guaranteed to receive.
Weekend staffing is lower than the all-week figure at 19 of these 19. Ask how weekend coverage and response times are maintained. This difference alone does not establish unsafe care.
- How recent is the inspection evidence? CMS marks 20 facilities here as having a most recent health inspection more than two years ago in this release. Ask for the latest inspection report and what has changed since it. Check: Arlington Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center · Birmingham Nursing and Rehabilitation Ctr LLC · Brookdale University Park SNF (al)
- Can the facility accept your payment arrangement? 17 of 20 facilities here are listed with Medicaid certification. Certification does not establish an available bed, your eligibility or the amount you will owe. Confirm directly and request an itemized written quote.
