Our nursing homes are licensed by the State of Alabama Department of Public Health and certified by the US Center for MS for both the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Each Prime home is certified to accept Medicare, Medicaid, private pay and long term care insurance as payment for services. Eligibility for Medicare or Medicaid payment for nursing home service is determined on an individual basis.

Our healthcare facilities offer skilled nursing services to provide:

• Rehabilitation: Each nursing home offers all three of the major rehabilitation services: Physical Therapy, Speech Therapy and Occupational Therapy, performed according to doctor's orders. Short term nursing home stays for rehabilitation purposes are becoming quite common. Hip replacement, knee replacement and stroke recovery are three types of admissions that benefit from rehab in the comprehensive environment of a nursing home. All the patients' needs are met without having to burden family members at home, while he/she receives the therapy needed to recover and return home.
    
• Long Term Care: Our nursing home services are designed for the chronically ill and infirmed in need of twenty four hour a day nursing care.

Assisted Living

At present, none of our nursing homes have assisted living facilities attached. However, all of the homes admit former assisted living residents when those residents' needs cannot continue to be met at an assisted living facility. Assisted living facilities are designed for the independent resident who only needs some assistance with housekeeping and personal needs.
