Overview of Westminster Village – Spanish Fort

Acts Retirement Services has run Westminster Village – Spanish Fort for 47 years now, out of a three-story building at 500 Spanish Fort Blvd in the Bridgehead neighborhood of Spanish Fort, Alabama. Joseph Meadows is the Executive Director. This isn’t a single-purpose nursing home. It’s part of a continuing care retirement community, which means nursing home care, assisted living, memory care, hospice, home care, and independent living all live under the same organization.

Don’t expect to walk to much because the Walk Score is 27. That is somewhat walkable at best, and most errands here mean getting in a car.

Average length of stay runs about 107 days, closer to four months than a permanent placement, and the community accepts both Medicare and private pay, the two payment paths that fit a short-term rehab stay best. Nursing staff provide close to 5 hours of total nursing care per resident each day. On-site, residents have access to licensed therapists, a nurse practitioner wellness center, and round-the-clock medical oversight, plus respite care and short-term rehab for people who need a defined recovery window rather than an open-ended stay.

Occupancy sits at 65% in a 60-bed building with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options. Residents also have an Active Resident Council, a standing group that meets to weigh in on policy and daily life rather than just live with whatever’s decided for them. State inspections here have tended to focus on routine areas like dietary and food service and resident rights and protections, the kind of themes that come up across nursing homes broadly.

Nearly five decades in the same location, paired with a rehabilitation-heavy care model and a resident group with an actual say in how things run, makes Westminster Village read less like a long-term holding facility and more like a structured stop on the way back to independence for a lot of residents.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Alabama

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Alabama?

Assisted living in Alabama supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Alabama?

Assisted living in Alabama is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Alabama Medicaid cover assisted living?

Alabama Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Alabama) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 165 assisted living facilities in Alabama. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Alabama?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Alabama, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Alabama?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
