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 (83% of admissions), and a typical Medicare stay runs around 27 days.
Ellen Bueche owns the Little Sisters of the Poor Sacred Heart Residence, a 52-bed care home on McGill Avenue in Mobile, Alabama. The building runs at full occupancy, and the average stay lasts about 340 days. This long tenure shows that the daily workflow is almost entirely geared toward permanent, long-term residential care rather than quick-turnover rehab. To manage the costs of a stay, the front office processes traditional Medicare, state Medicaid, and standard private pay.
Residents receive a high volume of direct attention, with the 24-hour nursing team logging an average of 7 hours and 2 minutes of hands-on care per person every day. This crew of registered nurses, practical nurses, and aides handles all daily medical routines inside the building. Outside, the neighborhood carries a walk score of 62, meaning visitors can easily cross a few quick errands off their list on foot when stopping by.
State reports from the past nine years show a mixed regulatory record, with surveys pointing out recurring compliance issues regarding care protocols and resident communication practices. The most recent health department reviews noted specific areas where staff training and documentation needed to be strengthened. You can go over these long-term survey trends with the administrative staff to see how they manage their quality control systems.
Interested individuals can call the main desk to see if there is a waiting list for open rooms or to find out how the general admissions process works.
Little Sisters of the Poor Sacred Heart Residence is administered by Jason Stinnett.
