Overview of Village at Cook Springs Assisted Living Facility

Gregory Flippo owns, and Randolph Pickell administers the Village at Cook Springs Skilled Nursing Facility, a 168-bed property located on a 200-acre retirement campus in Pell City, Alabama. The building runs at a 74 percent occupancy level, meaning they usually have available rooms for new admissions. Stays here average 128 days overall, though individual timelines shift from brief 18-day rehabilitation stays for Medicare patients to nine or ten months for long-term Medicaid residents.

Day-to-day operations rely on a 24-hour nursing team that logs an average of 4 hours and 41 minutes of direct, hands-on attention per resident daily, with nurse aides covering 2 hours and 42 minutes of that time. This schedule supports standard medical tracking, short-term physical therapy, and temporary respite care. Because the facility sits on a sprawling rural campus, the setting is removed from town services, meaning visitors will need a vehicle for all travel and external errands.

Federal records from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) give this facility a one-star overall rating due to poor health inspection outcomes and low clinical quality scores. State health surveys have documented repetitive compliance patterns involving infection control failures, improper care techniques, inaccurate documentation, and flawed reporting procedures, though no federal fines have been issued here in the last three years. You can look over these public regulatory reports directly with the facility leadership to check on their current quality control systems.

Interested individuals can reach out to the admissions department to ask about immediate openings or to review the entry paperwork. The staff can also outline the broader campus amenities, which include a library, a chapel with daily services, on-site salon services, wireless internet, and adjacent independent living apartments.

Hours per resident per day — compared to state averages

Staff type Hours / Day / Resident vs 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. 32m per day ▼ 16% 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. 42m per day ▼ 11% 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.

Weekend Total Nursing Info Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends.

Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants.

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. 16m per day ▼ 27% State avg: 22m per day · National avg: 28m per day
