GREENBRIAR AT THE ALTAMONT SKILLED NURSING FACILIT

Greenbriar at the Altamont Skilled Nursing Facility is a skilled nursing facility located at 2831 Highland Avenue South in Birmingham, Alabama (ZIP code 35205), within Jefferson County. The facility operates 95 certified beds and is classified under non-profit corporate ownership. It is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid residents. The facility holds an overall CMS Five-Star Quality Rating of 3 out of 5 stars, which aligns with the national average of 3.0 stars for skilled nursing facilities. CMS assigns this composite rating based on three distinct components. The health inspection rating stands at 3 stars, reflecting survey findings from state and federal inspections conducted at the facility. The staffing rating is 4 stars, indicating staffing levels that exceed the national average when measured against expected hours for the facility's resident census. The quality measure rating is also 4 stars, based on clinical data related to resident outcomes such as pressure ulcers, hospital readmissions, and functional decline metrics. The staffing and quality measure ratings both exceed the national baseline, while the health inspection rating is at the national median. Greenbriar at the Altamont accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources, which broadens access for residents relying on federal and state insurance programs. As a non-profit corporate entity, the facility operates under a governance structure that reinvests revenues into operations rather than distributing profits to shareholders. Families and prospective residents are encouraged to contact the facility directly at (205) 323-2724 to inquire about current bed availability, private pay rates, and any additional insurance arrangements that may be accepted. When compared to national averages, Greenbriar at the Altamont presents a mixed but generally average to above-average profile across CMS rating categories. Its overall 3-star rating places it at the national midpoint, consistent with a large segment of skilled nursing facilities across the United States. However, its 4-star ratings in both staffing and quality measures indicate performance above the national norm in those specific domains. The 3-star health inspection score suggests a level of compliance with federal and state survey standards that is consistent with national expectations but does not reflect the elevated performance seen in its other categories. Taken together, the data positions the facility as performing at or modestly above the national average depending on the domain under consideration.
