Camden Nursing Facility sits at 550 Ponderosa Dr in Camden, Alabama, and holds a license from the Alabama Department of Public Health, number N6601, while Mr. Eldridge Stewart runs the place as the administrator, and the building is designed for skilled nursing care with 95 beds for residents who need daily help, short-term recovery, or long-term support. People here get their own rooms with cable TV and Wi-Fi, and when they're not resting, they can gather in shared indoor spaces or step outside for fresh air, and there's always something happening like birthday parties, holiday events, and groups that residents organize based on what they're interested in, which tends to help folks feel part of a community. Services cover a lot, from simple help with things like bathing, dressing, eating, and taking medicine, to round-the-clock skilled nursing care with a physician watching over patient needs, and there's a secure dementia unit for those with memory problems that has staff on duty 24 hours. Rehabilitation programs help people relearn skills after surgery or illness, covering physical, occupational, and speech therapy, even on-site dialysis, plus hospice and respite care. The place stores and gives out needed medicine and works with Medicare and Medicaid, and they even help families go through the Medicaid application process. Visiting hours run every day from 8AM to 8PM, and while the business office is open weekdays, the care staff stays available at all hours. Camden Nursing Facility belongs to the Nursing & Convalescent Homes category and aims to connect older adults with what they need so they can stay as comfortable and independent as possible.

Poor care despite previous improvements
I appreciate that the facility is close to Camden Whoix Private School and Camden School of Arts & Technology and that things seemed to improve after Mr. Stewart addressed staff issues, but I'm disappointed. Communication is poor, caregivers are inconsistent, call lights are often ignored, and a resident waited over 1.5 hours for a change and staff didn't return until I complained. Equipment felt unsafe, clothes went missing, and the environment is unpleasant. I cannot recommend this place - look elsewhere.
