Diversicare of Batesville operates as a nursing home, providing 24-hour skilled nursing oversight for residents who need consistent clinical attention. In addition to general nursing care, the facility offers on-site physical therapy delivered by licensed therapists who work with residents on strengthening, balance, and mobility goals. Short-term respite care is also available for families needing temporary support, giving residents access to the same nursing services and rehabilitation resources during their stay.
Beyond the primary medical offerings, staff members assist residents with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and medication administration. Care plans are developed in coordination with physicians, nurses, therapists, and families, and reassessments are conducted regularly to keep services aligned with changing health needs. The facility coordinates transportation to outside medical appointments when required and maintains an on-call physician network for urgent concerns.
Accommodations consist of a mix of private and shared rooms, each designed for ease of movement and accessibility. Rooms include basic furnishings, emergency call systems, and access to bathrooms outfitted with safety fixtures, though not every room has every feature. Outdoor areas are available for residents who wish to spend time outside, offering space for casual walks or scheduled therapeutic exercises.
Dining services focus on balanced nutrition and meal consistency. Menus are developed by dietary staff and reviewed by a registered dietitian to support residents with various medical and nutritional requirements, including low-sodium, diabetic, and mechanically altered diets. Meals are served in a central dining area with staff present to assist residents who need help eating, and snacks are offered between meals.
Amenities include an activity center that hosts daily programs such as games, crafts, and social gatherings, allowing residents to engage at their own comfort level. Structured fitness programs, often coordinated with therapy staff, support strength maintenance and mobility, and they complement the individual rehabilitation plans developed for each resident.
