Mostly short-term rehab stays
Most residents typically stay for a few weeks or months before returning home or moving on.
New residents most often arrive under Medicare (39% of admissions), and a typical Medicare stay runs around 27 days.
Tina Taylor owns Northside Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center, a 115-bed care community at 700 Hutchins Avenue in Gadsden, Alabama. The building functions with a 78 percent occupancy level, and residents stay for an average of 156 days. This operational timeline shows that the floor staff balances permanent residential care with short-term post-hospital therapy turnarounds. For stay expenses, the financial department takes standard private pay, traditional Medicare, and state Medicaid.
The layout includes a large gym for physical therapy routines and daily activities, which supports a 24-hour nursing team that delivers roughly 4 hours and 43 minutes of direct, hands-on attention to each resident daily. This crew organizes regular clinical schedules, short-term rehabilitation, and temporary respite care. For visitors, the surrounding neighborhood is car-dependent, so family members will need a vehicle to get back and forth.
State health surveys for this property have previously noted compliance issues involving infection control protocols, documentation practices, and food safety standards. Reviewing these specific reports with the administration is a practical way to check on their daily quality control and safety systems before you make any final decisions.
Prospective families can contact the admissions office directly to find out about open beds or to discuss the required registration steps.
Northside Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center is administered by Tina Taylor.
