The facility accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources, which provides coverage options for a broad range of residents including those requiring short-term post-acute care under Medicare Part A and long-term care residents who have spent down to Medicaid eligibility. Individuals and families seeking placement should contact the facility directly at (205) 483-9282 to inquire about current bed availability, private pay rates, and any additional insurance arrangements the facility may accommodate. When compared to the national average overall CMS star rating of 3.0, Cordova Health and Rehabilitation's overall rating of 1 star places it in the lower tier of rated facilities nationally. The gap between its staffing rating of 4 stars and its health inspection rating of 1 star represents a notable contrast within the facility's own performance profile. Health inspection results reflect findings from on-site surveys conducted by state agencies on behalf of CMS, and a 1-star result in that category indicates the facility received citations that were more numerous or more serious than the majority of facilities nationwide. The quality measure rating of 3 stars suggests that resident outcomes on tracked clinical metrics are near the national midpoint.
