CROWNE HEALTH CARE OF GREENVILLE
Over 2 years since last inspection. Current conditions may differ from available data.
Crowne Health Care of Greenville has a trust grade of C+, indicating it is slightly above average but not exceptional. It ranks #45 out of 223 facilities in Alabama, placing it in the top half of the state, and is the best option among the two nursing homes in Butler County. However, the facility's situation is worsening, as it went from zero issues in 2022 to one critical issue in 2023. Staffing is relatively strong with a 4 out of 5-star rating and a turnover rate of 38%, which is better than the state average of 48%, but it has less RN coverage than 97% of Alabama facilities, which raises concerns about oversight. Additionally, the facility has incurred $11,565 in fines, which is higher than 83% of Alabama nursing homes, suggesting some compliance issues. Specific incidents include a failure to take immediate protective measures regarding a potential abuse situation and lapses in hygiene protocols in the kitchen, with staff not properly cleaning equipment and not completing necessary assessments for residents in hospice care. Overall, while there are strengths in staffing, the facility has critical areas needing improvement.
