What this means for your family
Given the serious allegations of abuse and reports of poor facility conditions, we strongly advise conducting an unannounced visit and checking state inspection reports before considering this facility. While some families report positive experiences with individual staff, the consistency of care appears highly unreliable.

Key Review Excerpts
“I did not let my Pop stay even 24 hours. We were told it was a rehab center, but walked into the most depressing nursing home with mental and borderline vegetable patients everywhere, even behind the desk hanging out with the employees.”
“When my Mom was at Diversicare of Quitman, a staff member (that Mom thinks was named something similar to Betty) grabbed her by the back of her head and slammed her head into her table twice.”
“This place isn't even fit for a roach. So unorganized. This place should be called careless facility.”
