Overview of Diversicare of Montgomery

At 2020 N Country Club Dr in Montgomery, Alabama, Diversicare of Montgomery runs a 138-bed skilled nursing operation in Montgomery County. The building sits in a moderately walkable pocket of the city, Walk Score 52, where some errands are doable on foot but a car still handles most of them. Right now the home has 108 residents, which works out to 78 percent occupancy.

The clinical focus here splits two ways: short-term rehabilitation for people recovering from a hospital stay, and skilled nursing for residents who need ongoing care. The average stay runs about 114 days, long enough to suggest a real mix of short rehab stints and longer-term placements rather than one or the other. Three named tracks structure the care model: Care Solutions, Short Stay Rehabilitation, and Complex Medical Care, each aimed at a different point in a resident’s recovery or health needs.

Staffing works out to roughly 3 hours and 27 minutes of nursing care per resident each day, a figure that folds together RN, LPN, and nurse aide hours. On the financial side, Diversicare of Montgomery takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, so families aren’t boxed into a single way of covering costs.

Alabama’s inspection process for nursing homes tends to circle back to a handful of recurring areas here: staffing and staff credentials, dietary and food service, resident rights, and general housekeeping and upkeep.

This is a mid-size skilled nursing home organized around rehabilitation and more complex medical needs, with a payment structure flexible enough to work for most families navigating nursing home costs for the first time.

Overview of Country Cottage – Montgomery

Country Cottage – Montgomery runs 26 beds in Montgomery’s Landmarks neighborhood, a single-story building offering private rooms, administered by Victoria Rudolph. It covers three types of care: assisted living, memory care, and respite care. The Walk Score sits at 45, somewhat walkable, a few things reachable on foot, though most errands still call for a car.

The care model here has an actual name and structure to it: CareSteps starts with a staff assessment, then builds an individualized care plan from there, one that gets revisited every three months or sooner if a resident’s needs shift. That means support scales with the person, not the other way around. As independence increases, care needs (and cost) can decrease. If a resident’s needs grow, the plan and the support adjust to match.

The rooms themselves are private, each with its own bathroom, an emergency alert system, and a real closet, not an afterthought. Cable and phone hookups come standard. Activities aren’t handed down from a generic calendar either; they’re built around what residents actually want to do. Rehabilitation services, respite care, and licensed nurses and CNAs cover the clinical side.

This is a small, single-story community built around a genuinely individualized care model, one where the plan for each resident, and what it costs, is designed to track that person’s actual needs rather than a fixed package.

Overview of Angels for the Elderly

Angels for the Elderly has been part of Montgomery’s Bellehurst neighborhood for 32 years. It’s a single-story community at 40 Angels Ct, offering private and semi-private rooms.

This isn’t a facility built around one level of support. It spans companion care all the way through end-of-life hospice-level care, available every hour of every day. Medication reminders, meal preparation, grooming help, transportation, errands, light housekeeping, it’s a genuinely broad list, the kind that could carry a resident through multiple stages of need without forcing a move somewhere else.

Pets are welcome too, which matters more than it might sound like on paper. For a lot of families, keeping a companion animal in the picture is part of what makes a move feel less like a loss.

In sum, Angels for the Elderly shows a long-established, single-story community built around continuity of care, room options for different needs, a broad service range that follows residents as their needs change, and a genuine 32-year history behind it.

Does Alabama Medicaid cover assisted living?

Alabama Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Alabama) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
