Overall Review of Diversicare Of Southaven

caveat 19 reviews mention this

Cleanliness and odor complaints

Residents and families frequently describe the facility as dirty and consistently smelling of urine or feces.

Across many reviews, visitors describe strong urine/feces odors and visible filth in rooms and common areas. Multiple people say linens, bed areas, or personal hygiene were not handled properly, with some mentioning residents staying in soiled conditions. Several accounts also connect the cleanliness problems to health fallout, including bedsores and infections.

caveat 12 reviews mention this

Care and response feel inadequate

Several reviewers say staff response and day-to-day care fell short, especially when help was urgently needed.

A recurring theme is delayed or limited attention—call lights not answered promptly, staff not checking on patients, and families feeling uninformed. Reviews also describe situations where essential tasks were missed, such as bathing and dressing changes, or where concerns were not addressed after repeated requests. Some families frame it as staff being stretched thin, which they say affected both timing and bedside attention.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Food quality and temperature

Food is a mixed topic, with multiple reviews describing cold or poor-quality meals.

Some residents or families report meals served cold or otherwise unappetizing, including accounts tied to rehab being delivered to rooms that left food cooling before being eaten. Other reviews mention portion size and overall meal quality as concerns. A smaller number of reviews offer a different view, saying the food was good, though even those comments note the importance of asking for what you need.

common 3 reviews mention this

Activities and social support

Activity programming shows up positively in a few reviews, especially around staff support.

A few reviewers highlight activity staff as a bright spot and describe consistent engagement such as church services and planned outings. In the more positive accounts, residents are encouraged to get outside and participate with others, and families say they were kept involved when needed. At the same time, other reviews focus on staffing and care gaps, which suggests activities may not be a consistent experience for everyone.

caveat

Pricing runs above benchmarks

Pricing for semi-private rooms is higher than both county and state benchmarks.

The semi-private rate is shown as $3,762, which is priced above both the county and state reference points. Pricing is only provided for this room type, so it’s important to confirm what options are available for your preferred arrangement and care needs.
