Lauderdale Christian Nursing Home
Lauderdale Christian Nursing Home is a small nursing home owned by James Comer in Killen, Alabama. With 58 beds operating at full capacity, it offers care for post-acute rehabilitation and ongoing skilled nursing needs. Total nursing care averages roughly 4 hours and 58 minutes per resident day, supported by registered nurses adding 45 minutes of direct care daily, nurse aides providing 2 hours and 56 minutes, and licensed practical nurses contributing 38 minutes. This staffing reflects a commitment to hands-on care with physician oversight. The facility is Medicare and Medicaid certified, making it attainable to residents with either coverage.
On staff is a licensed social worker to help navigate care planning and psychosocial needs. Rehabilitation services exist through contracted therapy providers, and the home offers quarterly care plan conferences to keep families and care teams aligned on resident goals. Providing on-site oversight is a medical doctor to decrease the need for outside physician visits. Daily life features structured, Activity Director-led activities, an exercise program, and a certified dietary manager who directs meal preparation. The community has a chaplain who leads Sunday worship services, which reflects the facility’s faith-based character. To maintain the facility’s operations, housekeeping and laundry support are handled internally.
Inspection history has mixed results. The facility’s compliance record includes some medication administration and record-keeping worries in recent years, paired with older deficiencies in food storage and dietary practices. These findings highlight areas where careful attention to clinical and operational standards is active. Given the inspection themes, families touring the home may find it helpful to ask how the facility ensures medication accuracy and completes documentation. The home’s location on County Road 394 in Killen has a Walk Score of 33, so most visits and errands will require a vehicle, but some nearby services are walkable.
The rural setting of Lauderdale Christian Nursing Home may captivate families who value a quieter environment for recovery and care.
