Nursing homes across Jackson County, Alabama, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Highlands Health And Rehab is county-owned, which is unusual, most nursing homes in Alabama are for-profit, and the numbers here mostly back it up. Nurse staffing runs at 4.80 hours per resident day, about 24% above the national average of 3.86, and that coverage holds together on weekends, dropping roughly 20% from weekday levels rather than falling off a cliff. The current record shows six deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, from an inspection last dated March 2022. With 50 certified beds, this is a small home, and one thing worth asking about directly: that inspection is now more than three years old, so the record may not reflect how things stand today.
Cloverdale runs 4.02 nursing hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and it holds a four-star staffing rating. Turnover sits at 36.4 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure, though weekend coverage drops roughly 15 percent below weekday levels. The catch is inspections: the last one was March 2022, so the record is stale, and five deficiencies include two at the harm or jeopardy level. Quality measures score two stars. Corporate-owned, 141 beds. Strong staffing and low turnover are real, but an old inspection and a thin quality score mean you should ask what's happened since.
Cumberland Health and Rehab is a 100-bed nonprofit home in Bridgeport, and its numbers pull in two directions. The care side looks strong on paper: a 5/5 staffing star rating, a 5/5 quality measure rating, and turnover at 35.6%, well below the national average of 45.8%. But the inspection record is where the story turns. Eighteen deficiencies, six of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, plus a $238,745 fine and a spot in CMS's Special Focus Facility program. Total nurse staffing sits slightly under the national average, and weekends run about 12% thinner than weekdays. That last inspection was June 2024, so the record is current.
