Woodland Village Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center

Overview of Woodland Village Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center

Woodland Village Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center is a 149-bed skilled nursing facility at 1900 Olive Street SW in Cullman, Alabama, in Cullman County. Privately owned and administered by Emily Holcomb through a limited liability partnership structure, the facility holds CMS Certification and accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. It operates in a rural setting approximately 5.7 miles from Cullman’s city center.

CMS rates the facility 5 stars overall, the highest tier, driven by exceptional performance on health inspections and staffing. The overall score runs 71.8 percent above the Alabama average, health inspection performance is 39.9 percent above average, and the staffing rating is 38.9 percent above average. The inspection record is the most remarkable aspect of this facility’s profile. Across 3 standard surveys since 2018: June 2018, June 2019, and May 2021, the facility accumulated only 3 total citations against an Alabama average of 10.4 over a comparable window. At 1.0 citation per inspection, Woodland Village Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center ranks first out of 121 Alabama SNFs for the lowest per-inspection citation rate, and fifth out of 121 for lowest total citations. All three citations were moderate in severity and have been corrected, no complaint investigations are on record, and no fines or penalties have been issued in the past three years. The three specific citations: Care Planning (2018), Nutrition (2019), and Nutrition (2021) reflect contained, corrected issues with no escalation pattern. Staffing is equally strong. Total adjusted nursing hours reach 4 hours 35 minutes per resident per day, 4 percent above the Alabama average, with weekend total nursing of 3 hours 46 minutes per day or 15 percent above the state average, a particularly meaningful indicator of care consistency outside weekday hours. RN hours (40 minutes/day), LPN hours (50 minutes/day), and CNA hours (2 hours 51 minutes/day) all exceed state benchmarks. Most significantly, Q2 2025 data shows zero contractor hours. All 198 staff are direct employees with 9.1 hours average shift length (15 percent above the Alabama average of 7.9 hours). This is one of the clearest indicators of workforce stability in the dataset. The clinical team includes 20 RNs, 23 LPNs, 97 CNAs, 6 therapeutic recreation specialists, 7 respiratory therapists, a nurse practitioner, a mental health service worker, and a dedicated dietitian, alongside active resident and family councils and an on-site nurse aide training program. The quality measures sub-rating, however, is 32.2 percent below the Alabama average, the one dimension that prevents an unqualified recommendation. Several long-stay metrics warrant attention: falls with major injury (5.8 percent vs Alabama average 3.4 percent), hospitalizations per 1,000 resident days (3.32 vs Alabama average 2.00), ADL decline (19.9 percent vs average 13.9 percent), weight loss (8.1 percent vs average 5.4 percent), and depressive symptoms (2.0 percent vs average 1.2 percent). These figures suggest that while the facility excels at process compliance and staffing consistency, functional and clinical outcomes for long-stay residents have room for improvement. The upside: pressure ulcer rates (2.1 percent vs 5.9 percent) and UTI rates (1.2 percent vs 2.7 percent) are both dramatically better than the state average, and both pneumococcal and influenza vaccination rates for long-stay residents reach 100 percent. Financially, the facility generated $7.9 million in revenue in its most recent reporting period with around $357,000 operating loss. Historical data shows consistent profitability from 2012 through 2022, with a −$1.38 million net loss recorded in 2023, following occupancy declines from approximately 91 percent pre-COVID to the current 73 percent range. Payroll at 58.4 percent of revenue is within the healthy benchmark range.

Seven amenities are present: a spacious therapy gym, an activities department, physician services, housekeeping, laundry, Wi-Fi, and on-site respiratory therapy, uncommon in a community of this size. Cullman, Alabama, is served by Cullman Regional Medical Center, supporting acute care access when needed.

Woodland Village Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center is best for residents and families in North Alabama who prioritize regulatory cleanliness, workforce stability, and a zero-contractor staffing model above all else. It’s a compelling option for short-stay rehabilitation, given its strong staffing and inspection records. Before deciding, families placing long-stay residents should discuss with the care team the quality measure data, particularly fall prevention, nutritional support, and activity programming for functional maintenance.
