Overview of Arabella Health & Wellness of Montgomery

Arabella Health & Wellness of Montgomery is a 121-bed SNF serving short-term rehabilitation and long-term nursing care on Virginia Loop Road in Montgomery. It takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, so there’s flexibility in how families cover care. The average resident stay is about 224 days, indicating a balance of post-acute rehabilitation and longer-term care placements.

The community is built to provide comprehensive medical and therapeutic support. 24/7 skilled nursing, on-site nurse practitioners, and regular physician access form the care groundwork. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy exist for residents healing from surgery, stroke, or other acute events. The facility also offers specialized services, including respiratory care with tracheostomy support, IV therapy, enteral feeding programs, and psychiatry consultations. Support services have a registered dietician for nutrition management and a quality of life program to encourage engagement and well-being. The broader care team includes on-site podiatry and optometry, decreasing the need for outside appointments and keeping healthcare coordinated. Respite care is there for families needing temporary placement for a loved one while they attend to other commitments. The location sits in a car-dependent area of Montgomery where most errands and appointments demand transportation, yet the nursing staff’s depth means many healthcare needs are managed on-site.

Consistent compliance has been found in state inspections over several years, with no health deficiencies or substantiated complaints. This track record denotes the community maintains steady operational standards.

Families contemplating Arabella Health & Wellness may want to tour the community to see the clinical spaces and rehabilitation areas, plus get an idea of the daily atmosphere.

Standout metric Registered Nurse (RN) is +24% above state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) 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.	47m per day	▲ 24% State avg: 38m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN 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.	32m per day	▼ 32% State avg: 47m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide 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 17m per day	▼ 8% State avg: 2h 30m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	2h 58m per day	▼ 10% State avg: 3h 17m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	1m per day	▼ 58% State avg: 2m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN 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.	22m per day	■ Avg State avg: 22m per day · National avg: 28m per day
