Mom was placed here by God. She has the best roommate, a beautiful view of a tree and bird feeders where birds fly and play all day. The workers have all been such hardworking and caring individuals from Directors to housekeepers. This is the only nursing home I have ever been inside that did not have the dirty nursing home smell. It is clean every time I visit mom. Yes this is an older facility with updates needed but as long as my mom is well taken care of and happy, her environment is clean and safe and our family doesn’t have to worry it is great!

My mother in law is here and the workers are so hateful. They are mentally and physically abusive to her she has bruises on her leg and then when they gave her a shower they hit her head on the wall. I wouldn't send my dog to this place

I’m not giving them any stars because they don’t deserve them. It’s absolutely the most disgusting place for anyone. I took my Mother there for 21 day rehab and they mistreated her. She lay in pee and poop all night because nobody wanted to change her. She had 2 baths the whole time she was there. I filed a grievance with the social worker and nothing happened. She assured me she would take care of it but she didn’t. I kept going to different levels of staff and nothing was done. My mom had a stroke and my niece walked in and seen what was going on and got the nurse. They called an ambulance for my mom and took her to the hospital. My mom asked the ER doctor to please not send her back there because they were so mean to her. We took her home from the hospital instead of her going back to DIVERSICARE. DO NOT TAKE YOUR LOVED ONES TO THIS AWFUL PLACE.

Despite whatever improvements may or may not have been made to this facility over the past several years it is still definitely NOT the place you'd want to send a relative. The bottom line is that the staff members may be fairly nice but the facility is disgusting and it's falling apart. They've made some attempt to tidy/revamp the entry way and the front of the facility but the deeper you go into the facility the worse, and the nastier, it gets. If they're truly working on improving the place they have a VERY long way to go.

There were a few nice people at this place but otherwise awful! I waited for a nurse with my mom for two hours to help her when she soiled herself. And that's when I was there! I had a resident come to me and warn me how they treated my mother! I was also told not to come after five p.m. or she would be up hollering all night! She was hollering because they would leave her in her room for hours! Imagine when I wasn't there!! I cane in one time and she was so doped up she kept nodding out !!! I'm surprised she didn't overdose! She was so unhappy!PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU LEAVE SOMEONE HERE! I am so glad we finally got her out of there!!!! Her mental and physical health has improved greatly!!!! She is now in an awesome nursing home!
