Overview of Mcguffey Health and Rehabilitation Center

Situated on Rainbow Drive, Mcguffey Health and Rehabilitation Center is a skilled nursing home in Gadsden, Alabama. The 209-bed home currently operates at 75 percent occupancy that averages 97 days of stay, reflecting the blend of post-acute rehab residents and those in ongoing nursing care. Operated by owner Roger Turenne, the facility is well-positioned for short-term rehabilitation stays and longer-term nursing care. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted to give families flexibility in their coverage approach. The community focuses much of its work on short-term rehabilitation. It’s then a pragmatic choice for someone recovering from surgery or a hospitalization.

Present around the clock is nursing support, totaling 4 hours and 45 minutes of nursing care per resident day. That includes registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses in a structure designed to support daily hands-on care needs. The combination of these roles supplies comprehensive clinical coverage throughout all shifts. Gadsden’s location is car-dependent, with most daily errands needing a vehicle; the Walk Score of 4 indicates limited nearby walkable options for residents or visiting family. That said, the facility’s position in the community provides easy access to local medical services and resources.

Alabama’s health department inspections have surfaced challenges in infection control and hand hygiene practices over time. These are areas families may want to comprehend in detail when considering the home, as they touch directly on care quality and resident safety.

Standout metric Weekend RN is +15% above state avg
Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info 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 ▼ 7% State avg: 38m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info 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. 49m per day ▲ 3% State avg: 47m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info 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 4m per day ▼ 18% State avg: 2h 30m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info 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 2m per day ▼ 8% State avg: 3h 17m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info 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 ▼ 75% State avg: 2m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info 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. 25m per day ▲ 15% State avg: 22m per day · National avg: 28m per day
