Overview of Forest Manor Health and Rehab

Forest Manor Health and Rehab operates 182 beds in Northport, Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, near Select Medical hospital, with a moderately walkable location and strong occupancy recovery. Administered by Kelvin Robertson and privately owned by 2672 Equities LLC, the facility serves a diverse census: 54.5% Medicaid long-term residents, 33.1% private-pay, and 12.4% Medicare short-stay post-acute patients. The payer mix has shifted substantially toward Medicaid over the past decade, reflecting changing demand patterns in the market.

Inspection and compliance reveal a facility in transition. Since 2018, Forest Manor recorded 27 deficiencies, 59% above the Alabama state average, at a pace of 3.4 per year (62% above state median), the most material red flag in the record. Recent inspections paint a pattern of facility maintenance lapses.

In June 2023, surveyors cited grime, damaged tiles, and torn shower bed pads in three of four shower rooms, a breach of infection control standards. Earlier substantiated complaints from 2019 documented missed baths, medication errors, and staffing shortages. Despite this history, the facility has avoided federal penalties.

Long-stay quality measures rate 35.6% above state average, suggesting strong clinical protocols. Yet preventive care gaps undermine that strength: only 49.7% of residents received pneumococcal vaccination (state average 91.5%), and 67.1% received influenza vaccine (state average 94.8%).

On the staffing front, weekend RN presence runs 59% above state average and PT hours 50% above, indicating investment in acute support; CNA hours, however, trail state norms.

Occupancy is healthy at 86%, up from 71.8% in 2021, showing market recovery.

The facility orients toward mixed-term care with particular strength in short-stay rehabilitation outcomes but notable quality gaps in long-term preventive protocols.

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 43m per day ▲ 14% State avg: 38m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 41m per day ▼ 14% State avg: 47m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life. 2h 8m per day ▼ 15% State avg: 2h 30m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day

Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 33m per day ▲ 51% State avg: 22m per day · National avg: 29m per day
