Coosa Valley Healthcare Center maintains a high baseline of stability characterized by zero recent health inspection findings and zero reliance on agency staff, though clinical outcomes for short-term residents are lower than state averages.
The data indicates a high-performing facility relative to state and regional benchmarks across several stability metrics. Records show zero health inspection findings in the most recent survey cycle, a significant decrease from the single finding in the previous cycle. This trend is supplemented by a total lack of financial penalties or fines over the monitored period. Staffing levels are notable for their consistency; the facility reported zero percent use of contract or agency staff, meaning all nursing care is delivered by permanent employees. This lack of agency reliance is a key indicator of continuity of care.
While the facility maintains a high overall profile, clinical quality measures present a divergent picture. Long-stay residents receive care that aligns with or exceeds averages, but short-stay quality measures—which track outcomes for patients recovering from hospitalizations—are rated at the lowest possible level by federal monitors. Additionally, though the facility provides 4.33 hours of nursing care per resident per day on weekdays, this figure drops to 3.58 hours on weekends, representing a 17% reduction in available nursing time. Total nursing staff turnover is 46.3%, which is slightly lower than the Alabama state average of 48.7%, while registered nurse turnover of 28.6% is significantly lower than the state average of 41.7%.
The facility reported zero use of contract or agency staffing for registered nurses or certified nursing assistants, indicating all care is provided by permanent employees.
Recent health inspection records show zero deficiencies, compared to an Alabama state average of 3.9 findings per cycle.
Registered nurse staffing provides 0.78 hours of care per resident per day, which is higher than the state average of 0.64 hours.
This shows how the facility's federal ratings have changed over the past 24 months. Consistent high ratings suggest stable quality, while declining trends may warrant further investigation.

Staffing depth is the strongest predictor of care quality. Facilities routinely cut staff on evenings and weekends — the shifts when falls happen and call lights go unanswered.
