Hunter Creek Health and Rehabilitation, LLC

Hunter Creek Health and Rehabilitation, LLC is a for-profit skilled nursing facility with 78 certified beds that usually has about 74 residents each day, and it's known for providing both long-term care and short-term rehabilitation for folks who need some help between a hospital stay and returning home, and you'll find that they're able to offer physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, wound care, restorative nursing, IV therapy, cardiac recovery, and orthopedic care, so residents get the care they need whether they're here for a while or just passing through to get back on their feet, and they've got professionally trained nurses, certified nursing aides, and therapists who say they're committed to quality care, and their nurse turnover rate is 39.5%, which is somewhat better than the Alabama average, and the staff is around enough that the reported nurse hours per resident per day sits at 4.10, which is a bit above the state average. The rooms are set up with cable TV and complimentary Wi-Fi, and residents use a restaurant-style dining area or get in-room dining if needed, with beautician, laundry, housekeeping, and transportation services included, so no one's left without the basics. There are outdoor courtyards and inviting common areas that make the place pleasant enough, plus daily activities trying to keep people active and involved, and it's clear some effort goes into making things homelike, though one will notice they've had a few state deficiencies in recent years, like a delayed standard inspection and a couple of findings about respiratory care, nutrition, and infection control, none of which caused actual harm, but showed a potential for problems. They're operated by NHS Management and have managers named Casey Boyd, Marcia Duffy, Matthew Projahn, and Lynn Rasco, and they accept Medicaid and Medicare, making care possible for a range of folks who need skilled nursing and rehab, as well as intermediate care for people who can't get by alone anymore.
