EXTENDICARE HEALTH AND REHAB

950 SOUTH ST. ANDREWS STREET, DOTHAN, AL 36302

EXTENDICARE HEALTH AND REHAB presents a rather interesting paradox, boasting staffing levels that are genuinely a breath of fresh air, consistently exceeding national averages, meaning that call button at 2 AM is likely to get a prompt response and you’ll find your RNs are actually around. They're even logging above-average registered nurse hours per resident daily, which should translate into more attentive care.

WESLEY PLACE ON HONEYSUCKLE

718 HONEYSUCKLE ROAD, DOTHAN, AL 36305

Wesley Place on Honeysuckle has a 2-star overall rating, with health inspections and staffing also scoring just 2 stars. However, registered nurse hours are far below the recommended minimum, potentially leading to missed diagnoses and increased hospitalizations, while falls with major injury occur at a rate more than double the national average, suggesting call lights may go unanswered.
