Overview of Atmore Nursing Center

Morgan Smith owns Atmore Nursing Center, a 100-bed skilled nursing facility located on East Laurel Street in Atmore, Alabama. The facility maintains a 79 percent occupancy rate, with residents staying an average of five months. The building’s layout is arranged on a single floor, allowing residents to navigate between the dining room, private rooms, and patio without dealing with stairs.

The clinical program focuses on short-term rehabilitation, continuous skilled nursing, and respite care. The onsite team provides 24-hour support, averaging 4 hours and 48 minutes of daily nursing care per resident through registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides.

Records from state health inspectors show an improving compliance history, culminating in zero health deficiencies or filed complaints on recent inspections. The local neighborhood carries a walkability score that allows for some pedestrian travel, though vehicles are still regularly used for local medical trips.

Prospective representatives looking into nursing care options can get in touch with the admissions office to check on current bed availability. Planning an in-person walkthrough is an efficient way to see the therapy equipment and observe the daily social programs.

1 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric Nurse Aide is +23% 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.	38m per day	■ Avg 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.	49m per day	▲ 5% 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.	3h 5m per day	▲ 23% 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.	3h 58m per day	▲ 21% 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.	0m per day	▼ 81% 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.	24m per day	▲ 9% State avg: 22m per day · National avg: 28m per day
