How do you feel about your loved one being treated like a third world resident??? Urgent Concerns Regarding Understaffing at Diversicare of Bessemer My time spent visiting a loved one at Diversicare of Bessemer has revealed a deeply troubling issue: the facility is severely understaffed. It pains me to witness the immense pressure placed on the three dedicated staff members per floor, who are responsible for approximately 60 residents per floor (please be aware that there are 4 floors at this facility.) Residents have shared with me that they feel invisible much of the time. This isn't sustainable, and it's certainly not fair to either the caregivers or those receiving care. While the staff themselves are truly commendable, the root of this problem lies squarely with Diversicare Corporation. Your corporate cost-cutting measures are creating an environment where adequate care is jeopardized for the sake of profit. It's imperative that you increase staffing levels to a minimum of four per floor. Our loved ones deserve better, and your staff deserves the resources to do their vital work effectively. We expect and demand appropriate staffing for the well-being of all residents.
The atmosphere and environment here is very positive and warming. Staff and residents were in a positive mood
Worst place ever to care for your loved one if you love them and value their care at the hands of incompetent people. My mother stayed here for a 22 day rehab in which she did not complete because I pulled here form the facility and took her home due to facility negligence and the mishandling of my moms care while at the facility. She also fell out of bed and was in her room for some time per facility because they don’t know when she actually fell they just happened to find her. I am sad and utterly unhappy with the report that was given to me when they called to inform me as the nurse was saying everything was fine, however she was found on the floor in a perpendicular position. If you love your mom or dad please be careful and make sure they don’t end up in this position like me being hurt on how this facility value care and compassion.
I was here for a rehab stay and while they were nice people working service was slow some staff were bullying me the food was barely edible and I was several days late leaving due to administrative error.Like I said they’re were some nice employees but a ton of incompetence
Would give zero stars! Have a good friend there and the nurse call light was on for 2 hours before anybody came. Absolutely ridiculous! No human being should be treated those poorly!!
