Overall Review of Diversicare Of Sedgwick

common 16 reviews mention this

Staff care is a mixed picture

Residents and families describe caring, responsive staff, but some also report rude or neglectful treatment.

Many reviewers say staff take time to understand needs, respond promptly, and treat residents kindly, including comments praising directors, nurses, aides, and therapists. Several also describe staff as responsive and helpful during their loved one’s stay, with residents building relationships with caregivers. At the same time, other reviewers use strong negative language about how staff treat people, noting concerns like disrespectful behavior, overlooked issues, and staff not responding when visitors sign in. Overall, the staff experience comes through as inconsistent across reviews.

24-hour medical responsiveness noted

Reviews mention around-the-clock on-call support and 24-hour coverage processes.

One reviewer highlights an on-call physician/PA-C team available 24 hours, including for issues that arise overnight. Another describes how coverage works in practice after hours, contrasting who is available in the office versus during the day. This lines up with the facility offering a structured call and supervision model in its care services list.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Cleanliness and odors vary

Reviews disagree sharply on cleanliness, ranging from fresh-smelling halls to reports of strong bodily odors.

Some reviewers say the building is clean and smells fresh, even on the long-term side, with no cigarette odor inside. Others describe severe odor problems, including reports of urine and feces odors in the entry area. There are also complaints that protocols aren’t followed well, including concerns about sanitation and reuse practices. Taken together, cleanliness appears unreliable across resident and visitor experiences.

Therapy support helps residents regain

Physical and occupational therapy receive praise for hands-on support and effective sessions.

One long-term resident credits the physical and occupational therapy team with helping them relearn key mobility skills after a serious injury. Another describes physical therapists as thorough and focused on the resident’s level of physical ability. These comments reflect that therapy involvement is a visible part of day-to-day support for residents.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Activities show both involvement and cuts

Residents describe activity involvement, but at least one reviewer notes reduced events over time.

One reviewer says residents are happy and mentions lots of staff involvement and engagement. Another points to a specific recurring social activity being changed from weekly to once a month, framing it as a reduction. With the activity programming listed as part of the overall experience, these reviews suggest variety can be present but may shift depending on operations.
