Overview of 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.

Standout metric Nurse Aide is +18% 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.	44m per day	▲ 17% 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.	36m per day	▼ 24% 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 57m per day	▲ 18% 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 47m per day	▲ 15% 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	▼ 57% 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	▲ 7% State avg: 22m per day · National avg: 28m per day
