Mostly short-term rehab stays
Most residents typically stay for a few weeks or months before returning home or moving on.
Most new residents arrive under Medicare (60% of admissions), and a typical Medicare stay runs around 29 days.
Cameron Dearman owns Burns Nursing Home, INC., a 57-bed care facility in Alabama. The building runs at an 88 percent occupancy rate, and resident stays average of around 166 days. This operational timeline indicates that the daily floor routine splits its attention between short-term therapy recovery and extended, permanent residential care.
The floor schedule relies on a 24-hour nursing team that logs an average of 4 hours and 20 minutes of direct, hands-on attention per resident daily. Registered nurses, practical nurses, and assistants divide this time to coordinate regular medical supervision and personal care routines. For visiting family members, the surrounding neighborhood carries a walk score of 63, which means some basic tasks and services are accessible on foot when stopping by.
State records have previously identified regulatory compliance gaps regarding care-plan execution, infection control protocols, and documentation practices. Management has since implemented corrective actions to address these past issues, and you can look over these updated safety systems directly with the administrative team.
Prospective representatives can contact the intake department to check on current vacancies, request registration paperwork, or review available amenities. The front desk can also walk you through funding structures for traditional Medicare, state Medicaid, and private pay options.
Burns Nursing Home, Inc. is administered by Meg Deaton.
