A Mobile skilled nursing community awaiting a federal rating

Knollwood Healthcare is a for-profit skilled nursing facility in Mobile, AL, with 71 certified beds and an average of about 57 residents per day. It operates as part of the Ephram Lahasky network. It is part of a continuing care retirement community, so residents can often move between levels of care on one campus.

This community does not yet carry a Medicare overall star rating — often the case for newer facilities or those with a recent ownership change. We recommend requesting its most recent state survey directly.

Staff provide about 3.83 total nurse hours per resident each day (0.67 of them from registered nurses), below the national benchmark of roughly 3.9 hours. Annual nursing-staff turnover is about 78.9%, higher than the ~52% national average. On the safety record, CMS notes 9 health deficiencies at its most recent standard survey, and 4 federal fines totaling $318,070 in the recent record. This facility is in the CMS Special Focus Facility program, which targets homes with a history of serious quality problems.

Move-ins take time: assessments, paperwork, and preparation typically run 2–6 weeks in Mobile.
