Acts Retirement Services has run Westminster Village – Spanish Fort for 47 years now, out of a three-story building at 500 Spanish Fort Blvd in the Bridgehead neighborhood of Spanish Fort, Alabama. Joseph Meadows is the Executive Director. This isn’t a single-purpose nursing home. It’s part of a continuing care retirement community, which means nursing home care, assisted living, memory care, hospice, home care, and independent living all live under the same organization.
Don’t expect to walk to much because the Walk Score is 27. That is somewhat walkable at best, and most errands here mean getting in a car.
Average length of stay runs about 107 days, closer to four months than a permanent placement, and the community accepts both Medicare and private pay, the two payment paths that fit a short-term rehab stay best. Nursing staff provide close to 5 hours of total nursing care per resident each day. On-site, residents have access to licensed therapists, a nurse practitioner wellness center, and round-the-clock medical oversight, plus respite care and short-term rehab for people who need a defined recovery window rather than an open-ended stay.
Occupancy sits at 65% in a 60-bed building with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options. Residents also have an Active Resident Council, a standing group that meets to weigh in on policy and daily life rather than just live with whatever’s decided for them. State inspections here have tended to focus on routine areas like dietary and food service and resident rights and protections, the kind of themes that come up across nursing homes broadly.
Nearly five decades in the same location, paired with a rehabilitation-heavy care model and a resident group with an actual say in how things run, makes Westminster Village read less like a long-term holding facility and more like a structured stop on the way back to independence for a lot of residents.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
This home is ranked 26th out of 126 homes in Alabama for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| 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.
| 1h 16m per day | ▲ 96% State avg: 39m 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.
| 26m per day | ▼ 46% 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 26m per day | ■ Avg 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 46m per day | ▲ 14% State avg: 3h 18m per day · National avg: 3h 27m 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.
| 58m per day | ▲ 2551% 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.
| 1h 7m per day | ▲ 211% State avg: 22m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
Average number of days residents stay at this facility, based on CMS cost report data. Shorter stays often reflect post-acute or rehab care; longer stays reflect long-term care.
