Diversicare of Southaven in Southaven, MS operates as a nursing home, offering around-the-clock skilled nursing care for residents who need comprehensive medical supervision. Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants are on duty to manage chronic conditions, monitor vital signs, and coordinate with physicians. This level of care is designed for individuals who require more intensive support than traditional assisted living can provide.
Beyond everyday nursing oversight, the facility offers targeted medical services such as respite care and physical therapy. Short-term stays give family caregivers a break while ensuring the individual continues to receive professional attention. On-site physical therapists develop rehabilitation plans aimed at helping residents maintain or regain mobility after surgery, injury, or illness. Medication management, wound care, and coordination with outside specialists are integrated into each resident’s care plan.
Accommodations include a selection of private and shared rooms, and some units provide direct access to outdoor areas where residents can enjoy fresh air or participate in supervised activities. Not every room has every feature, so families should confirm specific layouts and amenities during a tour. Safety systems, basic furnishings, and emergency call features are standard to support residents who need quick access to assistance.
Dining services prepare three meals daily that follow physician-ordered diets and individual preferences. For residents receiving hospice care, on-site hospice teams coordinate with kitchen staff to ensure meals are appropriate for comfort-focused plans, including texture modifications or specialized nutritional needs. Staff remain present in the dining room to assist anyone who requires help with eating.
An activity center offers scheduled programs that promote social interaction and cognitive engagement, while fitness programs focus on strength, balance, and flexibility under trained supervision. Transportation to local medical appointments can be arranged, and housekeeping and laundry services are provided to keep daily living simple for residents and their families.
