Altoona Health & Rehab runs 50 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing picture is its clearest strength: 3.90 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average of 3.86, with weekend coverage dipping about 8% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 31.8%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether residents see familiar faces. The tradeoff is oversight. Five deficiencies sit on the current record with none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, but the last inspection dates to June 2022 and the health inspection rating is 2 of 5. Quality measures score 4 of 5. Stable staff, thin recent inspection history.

Attalla Rehabilitation and Nursing Center runs 182 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.21 hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 22% below the home's own weekday staffing, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the harder read: 26 deficiencies on file, six of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with the last health inspection dated March 1, 2022. CMS rates the inspection side 1 out of 5 stars, staffing 2 out of 5, while quality measures score 5 out of 5. Those quality numbers come from resident assessments the home reports, not from an inspector walking the halls.

Mcguffey Health & Rehabilitation Center runs 209 certified beds in Gadsden under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely clean, seven deficiencies on the books, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. The staffing picture is more mixed than the four-star CMS staffing rating suggests: 3.23 total nurse hours per resident day sits about 16 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops roughly 13 percent below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover lands at 49.4 percent against a national 45.8 percent. One thing worth asking about directly: the last inspection was May 2021, so the record you're reading is several years old.

Coosa Valley Health and Rehab runs 124 certified beds in Glencoe, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.05 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average of 3.86. That cushion shrinks on weekends, when coverage drops about 10% below the home's own weekday level, and staff turnover is 53.6%, well above the national 45.8%. The current record shows 23 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, which matters more than the raw count suggests. The last inspection was April 29, 2022, so the picture regulators have is getting old. For-profit corporate ownership rounds out the profile.

Gadsden Health And Rehab Center runs 168 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership, and the raw staffing number looks decent: 4.40 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average of 3.86. The catch is consistency. Weekend staffing drops about 14% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 57.7% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people covering those weekend shifts are often new. On paper the record is clean: six deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with a 4/5 inspection rating. But the last inspection was July 2021, so that rating describes a facility from several years ago.

Northside Health Care runs 115 certified beds in Gadsden under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.73 hours per resident day, slightly under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 15% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 56% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record shows 12 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, but a single fine of $221,520 on file. The last inspection was October 2019, so that snapshot is old. Quality measures score low; staffing scores comparatively well. For families, the questions worth asking are about weekend coverage and how the home has changed since that last look.
