Is Hunter Creek Health and Rehabilitation a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

There are no official resident reviews of nursing homes: Medicare's Care Compare publishes inspections, staffing and quality data instead. Here is what that record shows for Hunter Creek Health and Rehabilitation as of October 2026.

CMS rates it 3 out of 5 stars overall, about the same as the Alabama average of 3.0. Inspectors issued 9 citations in the last three years. CMS reports no fines or payment denials in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 1 out of 5; for long-term residents, 3 out of 5. Those results differ a lot, so ask about the unit your family member would be on.
