The Best Nursing Homes in Athens, AL

Ranked by ElderGrade score — a composite of inspection citations weighted by the harm they caused, case-mix-adjusted nurse staffing, RN cover, weekend consistency, staff turnover, resident outcomes and enforcement history. Homes carrying an abuse flag, Special Focus status or an immediate-jeopardy citation are capped and cannot appear near the top, however well they staff. Full method.

Nobody paid to be on this list. We take no fees from facilities, chains or placement agencies.
