Columbiana Health and Rehabilitation, LLC sits at 22969 Highway 25 in Columbiana, Alabama, and has 63 certified beds available for residents, and you'll usually find about 59 people living there each day, which keeps things personal and familiar, and it's run by a for-profit company connected to Northport Holding Operations, LLC, with NHS Management overseeing how everything's handled, and you'll see names like Leigh Cobb, Hilary Morris, Lynn Rasco, and Kristin Smith in charge at different times, so there's some steady hands guiding things, but also some changes now and then. The facility mainly focuses on long-term nursing home care, but it also provides skilled nursing for those who really need help with daily living, and now and again people use it for short-term rehab after a hospital stay before heading back home, so it's got flexibility for both longer stays and shorter recovery, but it's really designed so residents get attention that's more tailored to their unique needs, with nurses, aides, and therapists working together to keep people comfortable and safe.
There's complimentary Wi-Fi available in resident rooms, cable TV, and a restaurant-style dining area so meals feel a bit more social, and rooms also come with laundry and beautician services, which makes life a little easier, and when folks want some fresh air or just a quiet spot, they can spend time in a beautiful outdoor courtyard or one of the decorated indoor common areas, and these spots help foster a sense of community and encourage friendships. The staff put on daily activities to keep everyone engaged, and those social and recreational programs help break up the day and give residents something to look forward to, especially when nursing staff offers encouragement and support, though you should know the nurse turnover rate here is a bit higher than the state average, at 58.3% compared to 48.1%, so sometimes there are some new faces, but the average nursing hours per resident are a touch above the state average, landing at 4.04 hours a day, which can be reassuring.
Residents can use the facility's video tour if they want to see what it's like ahead of time, and visitors are welcome for in-person tours too, which helps families picture where their loved one would stay, and if needed, the facility has COVID-19 testing to help keep everyone safe. There's also a focus on giving information and support to seniors when they're making decisions about their future care and day-to-day needs. While most things run smoothly, it's fair to mention that there have been some care-related concerns, like a recent inspection report in April 2024 noting two deficiencies-one was related to infection control, and another involved pharmacy services and making sure residents are free from major medication errors, with some cases of actual harm reported but none at the immediate jeopardy level, and a small $8,018 fine followed a related infection violation.
Ownership is divided among names like James Estes and several family trusts, and the facility is committed to maintaining a home-like environment with professional, caring staff delivering assistance as residents need it. There's nothing fancy or over-the-top, but the goal is to make sure everyone feels cared for, safe, and has the social and physical support to live as well as possible.
