Nursing homes across Elmore County, Alabama, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Charlton Place Rehab And Healthcare Center runs 65 certified beds in Deatsville under corporate for-profit ownership. Its nurse staffing of 3.89 hours per resident day sits just barely above the national average of 3.86, roughly 1%, and weekends drop about 7% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Annual turnover is 53%, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record is the strong part: a 5/5 health inspection rating with only 2 deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. The tradeoff is that the last inspection was December 2020, so that clean record is getting old.
Tallassee Health and Rehabilitation runs 111 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing math is a mixed bag. Nurses provide 3.59 hours per resident per day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 19% below the home's own weekday coverage, which matters if your family visits Saturday or Sunday. Staff turnover sits at 56.1% against a national 45.8%, so expect some unfamiliar faces. The inspection history is thinner: eight deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last full inspection in November 2022. Quality and staffing measures both rate well; the health inspection side is where the record is weakest.
Wetumpka Health and Rehabilitation runs 121 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.72 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 17% below the home's own weekday staffing, and annual turnover hits 50% against a national 45.8%, so the same faces aren't always there. The inspection record shows 18 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, and the health inspection star rating is 1 out of 5. The last inspection was December 7, 2023, so that record has had time to age. Quality and staffing measures both rate 3 out of 5.
Merry Wood Lodge runs 3.24 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday staffing. That shortfall matters because the home carries 17 deficiencies, 6 of them at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 related to abuse, plus a single fine of $182,968. Annual turnover sits at 51.9%. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, and its last inspection was September 2024.
