More about Cavalier Healthcare
Mississippi-based Cavalier acquired the former Trussville Health and Rehab in May 2023 and held a ribbon cutting that October, so the building is still early in this ownership chapter. Public postings have featured a full-time MDS Minimum Data Set nurse role (RN or LPN) described as on-site work with a fast-paced supportive team, health benefits, and mention of professional growth. Trussville itself sits on the northeast edge of the Birmingham metro—an affluent, family-oriented suburb roughly fifteen miles and about twenty minutes from downtown. People who move here often talk about schools, newer homes, a walkable downtown stretch, and keeping daily needs close while still reaching the city when they need it. Alabama is a compact-license state with graduated state income tax in a rough 2–5% band. On paper the CMS-style profile shows uneven marks: overall quality 2, staffing 1, health inspection 3, quality measures 4, and long-stay quality measures 5. Nurse hours per resident day run about 3.15 total (RN near 0.20, thinner still on weekends) against national averages often cited nearer 3.6–3.8, and reported staff turnover is high. At the same time, the facility’s own channels publicly thank nurses and celebrate team excellence, and deficiency and fine counts on the profile stay relatively limited.
Public channels emphasize recognizing dedicated nurses and celebrating team excellence.
