Diversicare of Brookhaven

Diversicare Of Brookhaven is a care home in Brookhaven, Mississippi, run by a for-profit corporation, with 58 certified beds and an average of 53 residents each day, and it's set up as a Continuing Care Retirement Community, often called a CCRC, so residents can find independent living, assisted living, nursing home care, memory care, hospice, and complex medical care, all in the same place, which does help if someone's needs change over time, and you'll find a range of housing options, like private rooms with bathrooms, Wi-Fi, cable TV, air conditioning, kitchenettes, and telephones, while the staff includes nurses, therapists, and caregivers who provide around-the-clock supervision, licensed nursing care, medication management, diabetic care, and assistance with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and moving around, and there's about 3.74 nurse hours per resident per day with a nurse turnover rate of 48.3%, which is good to keep in mind when considering the stability of care.

People living there get daily scheduled activities, movie nights, music programs, games, hobbies, arts and crafts in special activity rooms, a library, walking paths, fitness room, spa, garden, sauna, and a wellness room, plus there's restaurant-style meals all day with a professional chef and special dietary menus, while transportation and parking are set up for convenience, and residents can join in resident and family councils to talk about concerns, which can help improve care or fix problems, although inspection reports have noted a few issues, like medication error rates over 5 percent, some infection control problems, and safe respiratory care deficiencies.

Therapies like occupational therapy and rehabilitation are available, and the staff is trained in care assessments and care planning, there's trained staff for medication management, and an emergency alert system is in place, and move-in help is provided. Medicare and Medicaid are accepted, which can help with costs for many families, and the management company is Diversicare Management Services LP, while the facility itself is operated by Diversicare Healthcare Services LLC. There's information about them on their webpage, and families should always look into more details about inspection reports or any specific needs before deciding on any care community.
