Albertville Nursing Home

750 Alabama Highway 75 North, Albertville, AL 35951
Overview of Albertville Nursing Home

Terri Brown owns Albertville Nursing Home, a 159-bed property on Highway 75 North in Marshall County, Alabama. The building maintains a very high 97 percent occupancy level, meaning room openings are limited. Residents stay here for an average of 109 days, an intermediate timeline showing that the daily floor operations are balanced between short-term therapy recovery and long-term residential care.

The floor schedule relies on a 24-hour nursing team that logs an average of 5 hours and 3 minutes of direct, hands-on attention per resident every day. Registered nurses, practical nurses, and aides split this daily care time to handle clinical tracking and basic personal assistance. When visiting, the property holds a walk score of 66, indicating a moderately walkable neighborhood where you can easily handle a few quick errands on foot.

State surveys have previously flagged compliance issues at this facility regarding slow care-planning timeliness, missing baseline care plans within 48 hours of admission, inaccurate resident assessments, and poor infection control practices. Inspectors also noted problems with physician diet orders and low resident participation during care conferences. You can look over these past regulatory records with the director of nursing to see how they currently track daily quality control.

Individuals exploring local nursing options can stop by the intake desk to look over open floor plans or start the baseline admission steps. The business office organizes billing setups through traditional Medicare, state Medicaid, and private pay.

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 188 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.
