CUMBERLAND HEALTH AND REHAB

Cumberland Health and Rehab is a long-term care and rehabilitation facility located at 47065 AL Highway 277 in Bridgeport, Alabama, within Jackson County. The facility operates as a non-profit corporation and maintains 100 certified beds. It is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid residents. The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 2 out of 5, which falls below the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS star ratings are assigned based on three primary domains: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. Cumberland Health and Rehab received a 1-star rating in the health inspection category, which is the lowest rating available and indicates a higher number or severity of deficiencies identified during state inspection surveys compared to national norms. In contrast, the facility earned a 5-star rating in the staffing category, representing the highest possible score and indicating staffing levels that exceed national benchmarks. The quality measure rating also stands at 5 stars, again the highest available, reflecting performance on clinical quality indicators that tracks outcomes such as resident mobility, medication management, and hospital readmission rates. The disparity between the health inspection rating and the staffing and quality measure ratings is notable. The overall 2-star rating is weighted heavily by the health inspection component, which carries significant influence in CMS methodology. Cumberland Health and Rehab accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, subject to specific eligibility criteria and time limitations. Medicaid may cover longer-term custodial care for residents who meet financial and functional eligibility requirements under Alabama Medicaid guidelines. Individuals and families seeking placement are encouraged to contact the facility directly or consult with a benefits counselor to determine applicable coverage. When compared to national averages, Cumberland Health and Rehab presents a mixed profile. Its overall 2-star rating places it below the national average of 3.0 stars, driven primarily by its 1-star health inspection score. However, its 5-star ratings in both staffing and quality measures are well above national norms in those categories. The facility is one of multiple skilled nursing options available in the Bridgeport area and broader Jackson County region of Alabama.
