ARABELLA HEALTH AND WELLNESS OF FAIRHOPE

Arabella Health and Wellness of Fairhope holds an overall 4-star rating from CMS, which means it performs above average compared to nursing homes nationally. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, and the standout here is the Quality Measures rating, which comes in at a perfect 5 stars. This score is based on 15 clinical and physical health outcomes for residents, things like fall rates, pressure wounds, and how well residents maintain their ability to move and function. A 5-star score there is a strong signal that the day-to-day health of residents is being well managed. The other two pieces of the picture are both average, at 3 stars each. The Health Inspection rating reflects what state inspectors found during their visits, including the number and seriousness of any citations the facility received. Three stars here means Arabella is in the middle of the pack, so it is worth asking the facility directly about any recent inspection findings. The Staffing rating, also 3 stars, is based on how many hours of nursing care residents receive relative to the number of people living there. Average staffing is not a red flag, but it does mean families should check whether staffing levels feel adequate during a visit. Together, these scores suggest a facility where resident health outcomes are genuinely impressive, even if inspection history and staffing are more typical for the industry.
