Navigating nursing home care in Madison, AL can be challenging, as the options are limited and the overall market is average at best. The standout is Madison Village, which maintains a clean record with zero fines in the last three years. However, while it has some positive aspects, the facility lacks a nonprofit option and is part of a for-profit model that affects its overall quality of care.

Understanding Our Trust Score System
The Trust Score is a 0-100 rating calculated from CMS's official nursing home database. The score combines five data categories:
- Health Inspection Results — Recent deficiencies, their severity, and patterns over time
- Staffing Levels — RN hours, total nursing hours, and weekend staffing

- Penalties — Fines, payment denials, and enforcement actions

0 Madison facilities exceed CMS staffing recommendations. Families prioritizing staffing should look for facilities with the "Top Staffing" badge and ask specifically about RN hours during facility visits.
Ownership: An All For-Profit Market
