Overview of The Healthcare Center at Buck Creek

Facebook Instagram LinkedIn

Owned by Rock Hill Acquisition III, The Healthcare Center at Buck Creek is a nursing home in Alabaster, Alabama, serving residents who need skilled nursing care and rehabilitation. The facility has 198 beds with an occupancy rate of 82%. Residents stay an average of about 214 days due to the mix of residents under short-term rehabilitation stays and longer-term nursing care.

Short-stay rehabilitation and complex medical care are major areas of focus within the facility. Residents recovering from acute medical events, as well as those managing more complicated health conditions, are part of the population served. Daily nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 33 minutes per resident. Registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses contribute to that care. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families multiple options when arranging coverage.

Alabaster has a Walk Score of 4. Most errands require transportation, and visiting family members generally need a vehicle to reach the facility. The surrounding area is primarily residential.

State inspections have identified concerns involving resident safety and administrative practices. Findings have included staff credentialing and financial oversight. Families touring the facility should ask how those areas are currently managed and what are the measures to address them.
