How to read GALLERIA WOODS SKILLED NURSING FACILITY's star rating
The CMS overall star rating for GALLERIA WOODS SKILLED NURSING FACILITY 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 GALLERIA WOODS SKILLED NURSING FACILITY 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 GALLERIA WOODS SKILLED NURSING FACILITY, CMS currently publishes 2 out of 5 for health inspections, 4 out of 5 for staffing, 5 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. GALLERIA WOODS SKILLED NURSING FACILITY 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 GALLERIA WOODS SKILLED NURSING FACILITY's inspection record shows
No deficiency citations for GALLERIA WOODS SKILLED NURSING FACILITY 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 GALLERIA WOODS SKILLED NURSING FACILITY 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 GALLERIA WOODS SKILLED NURSING FACILITY, and it is the single figure on this page that is modelled rather than reported.

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 GALLERIA WOODS SKILLED NURSING FACILITY, 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.
