CMS Star Ratings
Overall rating
Not rated
CMS’s composite of the three ratings below.

Not rated
Based on the last three years of on-site inspections and complaint investigations — the rating CMS weights most heavily.

Nurse and aide hours per resident per day, adjusted for how much care residents need, plus staff turnover.
Quality measures
Not rated
Clinical outcomes CMS tracks, such as falls with injury, pressure ulcers and hospital readmissions.
CMS has published limited rating data for this facility. That is common for newly certified facilities and does not by itself indicate a problem. Nursing staff turnover of 74% is well above the Alabama average of 47%; high turnover is one of the strongest predictors of inconsistent care. Federal regulators have fined this facility $318,070 in the last three years. None of this tells you whether a bed is open, whether your insurance is in network, or whether the facility will accept a given level of care — confirm those three directly with the facility before you commit.
