The Healthcare Center At Buck Creek runs about 3.53 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends dip another 8% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 44.6%, close to the national 45.8%, so retention isn't the standout problem here, coverage is. Its current record carries 13 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, with $16,801 in fines across two penalties. The last inspection was January 25, 2024. For-profit, LLC-owned, 198 beds. Ask about the abuse-related findings specifically, and how weekend coverage holds up.

Shelby Ridge runs nurse staffing at 4.82 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and that's the main reason it holds up. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday level, and turnover at 62.4% sits well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing that above-average care are cycling out fast. Seven deficiencies on record with none reaching harm or jeopardy, and no abuse findings, but the last full inspection was June 2022. With quality measures scoring low, the staffing edge looks like the strongest thing here, and it comes with a retention problem worth asking about.

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.

Diversicare Of Big Springs runs 145 certified beds in Huntsville under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely clean, nine deficiencies on file, none rising to harm or jeopardy, none tied to abuse. That matters more than most families realize, since a quarter of homes nationally carry at least one serious citation. The staffing picture is more mixed. At 3.12 nurse hours per resident day, direct care sits roughly 19% under the national average, and weekends drop another 18% below the home's own weekday levels. Turnover at 47.1% edges past the national rate, meaning CNAs and nurses cycle through. One caveat: the last full inspection was January 2022, so that clean record is nearly three years old now.

Timberland Health And Wellness Center runs 3.63 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 21% below its own weekday staffing. Those gaps land against a 64.2% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses at the bedside are often new to the building, which matters most on weekends when coverage thins. The inspection history is genuinely strong: a 5/5 star rating on health inspections, five deficiencies on record, none at the harm level. But that last inspection was March 2021. State surveyors haven't walked this building in over four years, so the clean record is old.

South Haven runs on a for-profit, individually owned model with 101 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.95 hours per resident day, just slightly above the national average of 3.86. That edge narrows on weekends, when coverage drops about 22% below weekday levels, so the weekday-to-weekend gap is worth asking about directly. Staff turnover lands at 50% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning roughly half the nursing team turns over in a year. The current record shows 12 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related. Three stars on health inspection and two on quality measures point to room for improvement, while the last inspection dates to July 2022.

Park Manor runs about 152 certified beds in Northport under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits just barely above the national average, roughly one percent. That margin is thin, and weekends tell a bigger story: staffing drops about 19% below the home's own weekday levels, which is when families tend to visit and notice. Annual turnover of 57.8% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning caregivers cycle through faster than average. The health inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, none at harm level and none abuse-related, but the last inspection was August 2021, a long stretch without a fresh look.

Bridgeway runs a corporate-owned, 86-bed building in Phenix City, and the numbers are middling across the board, three stars each for inspections, quality measures, and staffing. Total nurse staffing sits at 3.60 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average, and weekends run about 23% thinner than weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover at 41.9% is slightly better than the national 45.8%, so leadership isn't churning worse than most. Six deficiencies on record with none tied to harm or abuse is a relatively clean sheet, though the last inspection was January 2020, over four years ago, so that record is aging.

Oaks On Parkwood has enough nurses. At 3.97 hours per resident day, staffing sits slightly above the national average, and CMS gives it top marks there, a rare bright spot. But that same federal data flags real problems: 20 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse. The last full health inspection was in May 2021, so that record is years old now. Weekend coverage drops about 16% below weekday levels, and turnover runs near the national rate. As a nonprofit, it answers to a board rather than shareholders, but the inspection history is what a family should weigh here.

The numbers here tell a mixed story. Staffing sits at 4.18 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, which is genuinely good, but weekends run about 24% thinner than weekdays, so the coverage your family sees on a Tuesday isn't what shows up on a Sunday. Annual turnover of 53.2% means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, against a national average near 46%, and that churn matters more than raw hours when it comes to knowing your mother's habits and preferences.
Eighteen deficiencies sit on the record, though none rose to harm or jeopardy, and none involved abuse. The last inspection was February 2022, over three years ago, so that record is aging.

Diversicare of Foley runs 154 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.28 hours per resident per day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the harder read: 16 deficiencies, 9 of them at harm or jeopardy level, 4 tied to abuse, with the last full inspection in June 2023. Turnover at 46.6% edges just past the national 45.8%. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspection results carry more weight when you're deciding where a parent lives. Ask about weekend coverage and the abuse-related citations directly.

Ashland Place runs 164 beds in Mobile under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.81 hours per resident day, just under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 14% below what the home staffs on weekdays, that's when call lights tend to ring longest. Annual turnover of 59.2% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning aides and nurses cycle through faster than most places, which can wear on continuity of care. Eleven deficiencies on record with none at the harm level and nothing abuse-related is a reasonably clean sheet, though the last inspection was January 2020, so that picture is over five years old.

Haleyville Health Care Center runs a tight operation on the direct-care side: 4.15 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, which is why its staffing rating sits high. But weekends dip about 13% below its own weekday coverage, and annual turnover of 52.4% tops the national 45.8%, so the faces around a resident change often, and the thinnest coverage lands on Saturdays and Sundays. Inspections look strong on paper, five stars, with just one deficiency and nothing at the harm level, but the last one was April 2021, so that record is aging.

Redmont Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 163 beds in Birmingham under individual for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.48 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 15% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 59.6% against a national average of 45.8%, so the aides and nurses your family would see most often are cycling through faster than usual.
The current record shows 15 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was in October 2022, meaning that snapshot is getting old. Federal ratings land at three stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing. Nothing here is alarming, but the thin weekend coverage and heavy turnover are the parts worth asking about directly.

Florala Health and Rehabilitation is a for-profit corporation home with 85 certified beds in Covington County. Staffing sits at 3.80 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 14 percent leaner than weekdays, so if you're visiting on a Saturday, expect a thinner floor. Turnover is 47.1 percent, slightly worse than the 45.8 percent national figure, meaning nearly half the nursing staff turns over in a year. The inspection record is thin and clean: three deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, though the last full inspection was August 2022. Quality measures score 2 out of 5, which is where the weaker numbers show up.

Elite Nursing and Rehabilitation Care Center runs 143 certified beds in Birmingham under for-profit LLC ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.28 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends drop about 9% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover of 52.4% tops the national rate of 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The current record shows 22 deficiencies, including one abuse-related citation, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and CMS has fined the home $6,682 across a single penalty. Its last inspection was March 29, 2024. Quality and staffing measures both land at 3 out of 5 stars, while health inspections sit at 1.

Weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday levels, and turnover runs 50.8% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents change often and thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. Inspections tell a mixed story: 12 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related, with the last visit in May 2023. Quality measures score well, but staffing and health inspection ratings both sit at 2 out of 5.

Northgate runs on thin nursing coverage, 3.19 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 18% below what the home manages Monday through Friday. That staffing picture gets harder to defend next to a 78.6% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for residents are frequently new or on their way out. The inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, three involving actual harm or jeopardy and two tied to abuse, along with three fines totaling $17,346. One recent inspection in January 2025 produced a health inspection rating of 1 out of 5.

Wesley Place On Honeysuckle runs 4.95 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 28% above the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing holds within about 4% of weekdays. That's a real strength. But the inspection record is where this home gets tripped up: 15 deficiencies on file, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus 12 fines totaling $48,689. The most recent inspection was in March 2024, so the record is current, not stale. Ownership is nonprofit, which sometimes signals steadier resources, but it hasn't translated into a clean survey history here. Good staffing, uneven compliance. If you tour, ask directly what those two harm-level deficiencies involved and what changed since.

Woodland Village runs on more nursing hours than most homes, 4.10 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its staff tends to stay, with turnover at 38.2% versus 45.8% nationally. That stability shows up on inspections too: three deficiencies on record, none causing harm or involving abuse, and a four-star health inspection rating. The catch is that its last full inspection was in May 2021, so that clean record is several years old, and its quality measure score sits at just two stars. Weekend coverage also drops about 16% below weekday levels, meaning the staffing cushion you see on paper may thin out when it matters most.
