About FAIR HAVEN

How to read FAIR HAVEN's star rating
The CMS overall star rating for FAIR HAVEN is a composite of three separately measured domains: health inspection results from state survey teams, staffing levels reported through payroll-based journal data, and clinical quality measures drawn from resident assessments and Medicare claims. A 3-star overall rating means FAIR HAVEN performs around the national middle. Average overall scores usually come from uneven domain results rather than uniform middling performance, so the domain detail matters more than the headline number.
For FAIR HAVEN, CMS currently publishes 3 out of 5 for health inspections, 4 out of 5 for staffing, 3 out of 5 for quality measures. Health inspection scores are graded on a curve within each state, so this facility's inspection score is a ranking against other Alabama providers rather than an absolute measure. Staffing scores reflect reported nurse hours per resident day, and quality-measure scores reflect resident outcomes such as falls, pressure ulcers and hospital readmissions.
In local context: 20 rated facilities in Birmingham average 2.4 out of 5, and the Alabama average is 3. FAIR HAVEN rates 3 out of 5, above that benchmark. Comparing a facility against its own local market matters because inspection severity, Medicaid reimbursement rates and staffing supply all vary sharply by state.
What FAIR HAVEN's inspection record shows
No deficiency citations for FAIR HAVEN appear in the CMS extract this page is built from. That reflects the records CMS has published for this provider, not an inspection performed by Clear Care Connect, and the federal extract can lag a state survey by several months.
Before you rely on a clean record, ask FAIR HAVEN for the date of its most recent standard survey and for its current CMS Form 2567. Also ask the Alabama survey agency whether any complaint investigations are open, as complaint surveys are logged separately from the standard annual survey cycle.
What ccrc costs near Birmingham, Alabama
Alabama ccrc typically runs $3,800 to $6,000 per month, a midpoint of roughly $4,900 — about $58,800 a year. This is a state-level market estimate from published rate data for this care type, not a quote from FAIR HAVEN, and it is the single figure on this page that is modelled rather than reported.
Actual pricing at FAIR HAVEN depends on room type, whether the community charges a flat all-inclusive rate or a base rate plus tiered care levels, and one-time community or entrance fees. Medicare does not pay for room and board in this care category. Common funding routes are private pay, long-term care insurance, a state Medicaid waiver where one exists, and VA Aid and Attendance for eligible veterans and surviving spouses.
When you call FAIR HAVEN, ask for the total monthly figure at the care level being recommended — not the base rate — plus the schedule of annual increases over the last three years and what triggers a move to a higher care tier.

How to verify this information about FAIR HAVEN
Everything on this page comes from public records, and you can check each figure at its source. CMS publishes provider ratings, staffing and inspection data through its Provider Data Catalog and Medicare Care Compare for certified providers; the Alabama licensing and survey agency holds the state licence file, complaint investigations and any enforcement actions for FAIR HAVEN; and your local Area Agency on Aging can tell you about waiver programs and ombudsman support in Birmingham.
