East Glen

53 Medical Park Drive East, Birmingham, AL 35235
Overview of East Glen

Located at 53 Medical Park Drive East, East Glen is a nursing home in Birmingham, Alabama, with 108 beds. The facility is owned by Stephanie Howard. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, providing families several ways to cover both short-term rehabilitation and longer-term skilled nursing care.

Its occupancy rate is 94%, with an average resident stay of 81 days. The facility serves a population of post-acute recovery and longer-term care residents.

The facility’s clinical focus is rehabilitation, and its core offerings are physical therapy and related services. Nurses serve residents an average of 4 hours and 24 minutes per day, and the team comprises registered nurses, nursing aides, and licensed practical nurses. This level of hands-on staffing is typically available in skilled nursing facilities managing post-acute recovery.

During a state inspection, the facility was found to have deficiencies in clinical care procedures, wound management, and clinical documentation. However, the facility can still provide care in these areas.

Residents have access to amenities that support rehabilitation and recovery. These include physical therapy space, craft activities, a salon, and a private family dining room.

The facility earned a Walk Score of 4. However, the location mostly requires a car, despite its proximity to Medical Park Drive near the area’s medical resources. Families evaluating post-acute care options should schedule an in-person tour to assess whether the facility’s rehabilitation programs, physical environment, and staffing are sufficient for their needs.

Overview of Canterbury Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center

Tracy Brown owns Canterbury Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center, a 137-bed skilled nursing community in Phenix City, Alabama. The facility operates at an 89 percent occupancy rate, and resident stays average around 101 days. This intermediate timeline indicates that the daily floor routine balances temporary, short-term recovery placements with standard long-term residential nursing care.

Daily care is structured around a 24-hour nursing team that logs an average of 4 hours and 46 minutes of direct, hands-on attention per resident every day. This crew is composed of registered nurses, practical nurses, and nurse aides who administer daily treatments, specialized memory care routines, and temporary respite stays. Because the neighborhood layout carries a walk score of 10, the property sits in a car-dependent zone where visiting relatives will need a vehicle to travel back and forth.

Families looking to arrange a placement can reach out to the registration coordinator to review open room configurations. The administrative desk can also coordinate billing setups and walk you through available on-site comforts like the spacious therapy gym.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does Alabama Medicaid cover memory care?

Alabama Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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 memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.
