Civic Center Health and Rehabilitation, LLC is a caring, home-like environment with professionally trained nurses, certified nurses’ aides, and therapists. The facility offers skilled nursing care and rehabilitation services, ensuring a commitment to quality and personalized care. Residents can enjoy beautifully decorated common areas and outdoor courtyards while participating in daily activities.
East Glen is a 108-bed skilled nursing facility in Birmingham, Alabama, operated by Stephanie Howard under nonprofit community ownership. The facility serves Jefferson County residents across post-acute rehabilitation, memory care, and long-term medical care, with roughly 65% of new admissions arriving for short-stay recovery. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
CMS rates East Glen 2 stars overall. The Health Inspection domain is 30.1% below the Alabama average — the primary drag on the overall score. By contrast, Quality Measures run 35.6% higher than the state average, a meaningful divergence that reflects stronger clinical outcomes despite the inspection record. Staffing registers 4 hours and 24 minutes of total nursing care per resident per day, nearly identical to Alabama’s average of 4 hours and 23 minutes, though CNA hours (2 hours and 22 minutes) are about 5% below the state benchmark.
The inspection record spans five surveys since 2018. The November 2018 survey was clean. The November 2019 routine inspection resulted in 11 deficiencies — the highest number in a single year — centered on kitchen and food storage sanitation, improper waste disposal near the dumpster area, and missing wound care documentation. The March 2023 routine inspection added 3 more deficiencies: inaccurate MDS assessments for dialysis, oxygen therapy, and hospice coding; a wound dressing order that went unfollowed; and a call light kept out of a wheelchair-bound resident’s reach.
A separate June 2023 complaint investigation resulted in one immediate jeopardy citation — the most serious classification — for failure to initiate CPR for a resident found unresponsive and pulseless. A staff member transported the resident to the emergency room without activating EMS or performing CPR. Over the visible window, East Glen averages roughly 6 deficiencies per year against Alabama’s average of 3.6.
The facility’s occupancy rate is 94%, well above the 80.8% state figure. Confirmed services include rehabilitation, memory care, and respite care. On-site amenities include a physical therapy space, salon, and private family dining room.
Families evaluating East Glen should ask directly about the June 2023 immediate jeopardy citation and the pattern of care-protocol deficiencies and what changes were made after the issue before making a placement decision.
Birmingham Rehabilitation and Wellness Center offers skilled nursing, therapy, and rehabilitation services in a warm, family-like environment. The facility provides personalized care to help residents heal and thrive. With a focus on comfort and community, residents enjoy a variety of amenities and activities.
Arabella Health & Wellness of Birmingham is dedicated to providing exceptional healthcare services in a warm and vibrant environment.
