Cleburne County Nursing Home sits on Brockford Road in Heflin, Alabama, where the facility takes care of up to 82 seniors with skilled nursing services and therapy after surgery or illness, and it's been keeping itself pretty full with an average occupancy rate of about 93 percent, so out of those 82 beds, around 76 are usually filled by residents both for short-term stays and long-term care needs. The home accepts Medicare and Medicaid, and it's owned by the local government, which means it's nonprofit and not part of a big chain, but it does have staff on hand for medical care and day-to-day help, with nurses there for 12 to 16 hours daily and a 24-hour call system for emergencies. Nurses and caregivers help with bathing, dressing, transferring, and medication and will even manage more complex care like wound treatment, pain management, recovery from strokes, dialysis, or therapy, with things like balance training and short-wave diathermy included for folks needing rehabilitation. The rooms come with a private bathroom, kitchenette, cable TV, Wi-Fi, a telephone, air conditioning, and the building's fully sprinklered for safety.
Residents can keep busy with daily activities and programs, some run by the residents themselves, along with access to community spaces like a movie theater, arts room, fitness room, a beauty salon, a spa/wellness room, garden, outdoor walking paths, and a library, with regular movie nights and scheduled outings or religious gatherings, so it's easy to stay involved if that's wanted. The dining room serves meals all day long, restaurant-style, with a professional chef and special diets covered, even for folks with food allergies or diabetes, and the support doesn't stop with meals since housekeeping, laundry-including dry cleaning-and transportation all come included, plus there's guest parking.
Cleburne County Nursing Home also gives tours to potential residents and their families, with several ways to ask about pricing or availability, and they try to keep lines open for families with communication tools and activity logs, plus you can keep up with updates through platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and digital tools connected to Meta since they've built up their online communication a bit. The facility's got a high vaccination rate for residents against both pneumonia and flu, and everyone's covered by a full sprinkler system for added fire safety. The home doesn't belong to any special program or big survey process, and it's not part of any big chain or hospital, so everything's run at a county level, with focus on medical care, therapy, activities, and resident support, keeping things simple and practical for those who need short-term rehabilitation or longer stays.
