STONEHAVEN HEALTH AND REHABILITATION CENTER

325 SELMA ROAD, BESSEMER, AL 35020

Stonehaven Health and Rehabilitation Center presents a real head-scratcher, where the numbers paint a picture of people doing well but the system around them showing clear cracks. However, almost three in ten long-stay residents are on antipsychotics, which is double the national average, suggesting that a significant number of residents are being medicated for behaviors without, presumably, exhausting all non-drug interventions first.
