GADSDEN HEALTH AND REHAB CENTER

1945 DAVIS DRIVE, GADSDEN, AL 35904

Gadsden Health and Rehab Center presents a bit of a mixed bag, frankly, with a solid overall rating that’s a little let down by its staffing and quality measures. On the bright side, their health inspections are consistently strong, meaning you can likely expect a clean and well-maintained environment where residents are generally kept safe from immediate health hazards; that's a big win.

MCGUFFEY HEALTH & REHABILITATION CENTER

2301 RAINBOW DRIVE, GADSDEN, AL 35999

McGuffey Health & Rehabilitation Center presents a bit of a puzzle, showing strong inspection scores and staffing levels that are actually above the national average, meaning you can likely expect prompt attention if you press that call button, even in the middle of the night. They also have a clean slate when it comes to federal fines, which is always a good sign, though we don't know if that streak is recent or from years ago, so it's worth a quick ask.
