Care at Rehab Select at Barfield Health Care is tailored to each patient, with strong nursing and rehabilitation teams skilled in serving medically complex needs. This includes dialysis patients when clinically appropriate.
Therapy takes place in two gyms, for occupational and physical therapy, and an office for speech therapy. The gyms use equipment that pinpoints each patient's weaknesses for a precise plan of attack, plus air-pressure resistance equipment that builds strength without the intimidation of traditional weights. Patients have access to up to three hours of therapy each day, and recover in large private rooms and outdoor courtyards, easing the emotional weight of a stay.
An on-staff physiatrist and behavioral health services support each patient’s recovery — with leadership staying visible on the floor, not managing from behind a desk.
We help patients move from hospital to rehabilitation — and home — safely and confidently.
Physicians guide treatment planning and care coordination throughout each patient's stay, with wound care rounds led by a clinician — physician or nurse practitioner — on a weekly basis.

Barfield Health Care has earned back-to-back honors through the AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program, including the 2022 Bronze and 2023 Silver awards, reflecting the facility’s dedication to resident care. The facility was also voted Marshall County’s Best of the Best Nursing Home for 2025 and 2026 by the Advertiser-Gleam.
Barfield invests in its people, through paid classes at the on-site Barfield CNA School (offered as facility needs arise and at no cost) and Barfield’s Career Ladder, which helps eligible staff advance from CNA all the way to nurse practitioner. The facility covers the majority of tuition along the way, with full reimbursement after a two-year commitment. Nursing students from Wallace State, Northeast Alabama, and Gadsden State community colleges also complete clinical hours on-site.
Community traditions run deep at Barfield Health Care. Each August, the facility joins Rehab Select at Albertville to co-host Big Bingo at the Boaz Recreation Center, welcoming seniors from Marshall and DeKalb counties. The most recent event drew about 400 attendees. Every December, Barfield hosts a free Christmas movie night at a rented local theater, and the facility partners with Henryville Methodist Church for a joint Halloween trunk-or-treat for locals. Multiple churches provide regular resident devotions.
When emergencies strike, coordination matters. That’s why Barfield holds membership in the North Alabama Healthcare Coalition, working alongside area hospitals, EMS, and other healthcare providers to plan for community health needs and emergencies. The facility is also an active member of the Lake Guntersville Chamber of Commerce, and gives back locally by donating annually to the Guntersville Police Department and sponsoring activities involving area high schools.
Rehab Select at Barfield Health Care accepts patients ages 20 and older, including those with chest tubes. Our clinical team is equipped to manage high-acuity, complex medical needs as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation or long-term care plan.
We are not currently able to accept patients requiring ventilator support or cardiac drips. Contact our admissions team to discuss your specific situation — even complicated cases are worth a conversation.
