THE HEALTHCARE CENTER OF EASTVIEW
7755 FOURTH AVENUE SOUTH, BIRMINGHAM, AL 35206

NORTHWAY HEALTH AND REHABILITATION, LLC
1424 NORTH 25TH STREET, BIRMINGHAM, AL 35234
NORTHWAY HEALTH AND REHABILITATION presents a picture that’s anything but black and white, with stellar quality measures suggesting residents are generally thriving in terms of their health outcomes, and importantly, there are no federal fines on record, which is always a good sign, though we can't tell if that record is recent or from years ago. However, that positive is overshadowed by some significant concerns that demand a closer look.
FAIR HAVEN
1424 MONTCLAIR ROAD, BIRMINGHAM, AL 35210
Fair Haven holds a 3.0 out of 5 overall rating, but the data reveals a stark divide between resident outcomes and day-to-day care operations. Registered nurse hours sit at 0.24 per resident daily, far below the national average of 0.78, meaning critical clinical assessments and oversight are likely happening less often.
PINE HILL REHABILITATION AND WELLNESS CENTER
200 NORTH PINE HILL ROAD, BIRMINGHAM, AL 35217
Pine Hill Rehabilitation and Wellness Center is a bit of a mixed bag, leaning heavily towards "watch out." While there are no federal fines on record, we can't tell if that's from last quarter or five years ago, so it's definitely something to ask about when you visit. When you're there, you've got to ask them directly: given the extremely low RN hours and high antipsychotic use, what are your specific protocols for ensuring residents get timely, expert clinical attention and what non-medication approaches are exhausted before considering powerful psychiatric drugs?
SOUTH HEALTH AND REHABILITATION, LLC
1220 SOUTH 17TH STREET, BIRMINGHAM, AL 35205
South Health and Rehabilitation shows a 2 out of 5 overall CMS rating, a clear sign of trouble, even as its staffing and quality measures score a solid 4 stars. However, the facility falls short on registered nurse hours compared to the national average, and nearly half of its nursing staff leave each year, meaning continuity is hard to maintain.
Reading all of these is the job. We do it for you and name one.
