This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 64% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 4 findings, above the AL average of 3.9. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Diversicare of Montgomery receives highly polarized reviews, with many families reporting severe neglect, poor hygiene, and unresponsive staff, while others praise the facility for professional leadership and effective rehabilitation services. Concerns regarding basic patient care, such as assistance with toileting and timely medication, are frequently cited by negative reviewers. Prospective families should be aware of the significant inconsistency in care quality reported across different stays.

Key Review Excerpts
“My niece was placed admitted for Rehabilitation and long term care. The worse care ever. She spent days and nights sitting and lying in urine and feces.”
“The staff at the front desk, nurses, and nutritionist were all very kind and communicated with our family to help us understand the overall care plan.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
