Overview of Cordova Health and Rehabilitation, LLC

South-Care Medical Facilities operates Cordova Health and Rehabilitation, LLC, a 114-bed care home on Highland Street West in Cordova, Alabama. The building currently runs at a low 35 percent occupancy level, which means there are immediately available rooms for new placements. The average stay lasts about 243 days, an extended timeline showing that daily floor operations lean heavily toward permanent residential nursing care alongside short-term rehabilitation.

The floor routine relies on a 24-hour nursing team that delivers an average of 4 hours and 50 minutes of direct, hands-on attention to each resident daily. This crew coordinates a dedicated Rapid Recovery program for people transitioning back home, as well as daily routines in the outdoor courtyards and the restaurant-style dining room. Other basic amenities include beauty shop options, laundry services, and wireless internet. For visitors, the neighborhood holds a 46 walk score, so most errands outside the building will require a car.

State health विभाग surveys have previously flagged compliance deficiencies involving sanitation standards, safety protocols, documentation accuracy, and resident dignity. The management team has since worked through these documented issues to update their daily routines, and you can ask the administration to explain their current quality control monitoring systems.

Interested individuals can get in touch with the admissions desk to check on specific room layouts, walk through the intake paperwork, or discuss billing setup.

vs avg

4 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric Physical Therapist is +16% 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.	35m per day	▼ 9% 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.	29m per day	▼ 39% 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 47m per day	▲ 11% 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 53m per day	▼ 12% 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.	2m per day	▲ 16% 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.	13m per day	▼ 42% State avg: 22m per day · National avg: 28m per day
