Big Springs Specialty Care Center

Located in the downtown medical district of Huntsville and minutes from Huntsville Hospital, our nursing and rehabilitation center can accommodate 135 patients and residents. We provide innovative approaches in the area of rehabilitative healthcare and skilled nursing to individuals who may not require hospitalization, but are unable to receive treatment at home. We have a large rehabilitation gym with state-of-the-art therapy equipment.

Our expertise in long-term healthcare, combined with our strategic geographic reach into other healthcare markets, allows us to provide the specialized services necessary to meet the medical needs of the Huntsville community.

From intensive short-stay rehab to longer-term restorative care, our nursing and rehabilitation centers provide a full range of medical and social services to treat and support each of our patients and residents. Many of our residents return home, but for those who cannot, we provide safe, compassionate care in an environment that fosters independence and dignity.

When patients leave the hospital, they often need continued care to recover completely. That’s where we come in. We work with you to set a care plan to meet your goals and abilities. Patients typically receive up to three hours of intensive rehabilitation each day, provided by our specially trained interdisciplinary team consisting of:

• consulting physician specialists
• nurses
• rehabilitation therapists
• respiratory and speech therapists
• social workers
• registered dietitians

Long-term care is when a person requires assistance with his or her physical or emotional needs over an extended period of time. The need might be due to a terminal condition, disability, illness, injury or the infirmity of old age. The need for long-term care may only last for a few weeks or months, or it may go on for years.

We provide the services and supplies that your family member needs while he or she is a resident at our center. This help may be required for many of the activities or needs of daily living, including:

• walking
• bathing
• dressing
• using the bathroom
• managing pain
• preventing unsafe behavior
• preventing wandering
• assistance with eating
• personal hygiene and grooming
• administering medications
