Overview of Diversicare of Boaz

Owned by Ethan Hall, Diversicare of Boaz is a 100-bed nursing community on Corley Avenue in Boaz, Alabama. It takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, providing short-term rehabilitation and long-term nursing care for residents with complex medical needs. With an 89 percent occupancy rate, averaging a stay of about 97 days, the community serves a combination of post-acute patients and those in longer-term care.

Staffing support allots 3 hours and 48 minutes of total nursing care per resident day, with registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nursing aides distributed across daily shifts to provide attentive care. This staffing level supports short-term rehabilitation services and complex medical care, which are the facility’s focal offerings. The neighborhood around the facility is moderately walkable, with a Walk Score of 56, so some errands can be done on foot, and an array of nearby amenities are reachable, though most trips necessitate a short drive. This setting can work nicely for those wanting an accessible but quieter residential area.

Over the past eight years, state inspections have identified major concerns regarding resident protection and safeguards, plus food safety practices. These are areas families will want to know in detail as they tour.

A meticulous visit to the facility, including questions on how state inspection concerns are being handled and what changes have been applied, will help families make an educated decision about whether this community is the correct fit for their loved one.

vs avg

4 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric Registered Nurse (RN) is +55% above state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	59m per day	▲ 55% State avg: 38m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	23m per day	▼ 52% State avg: 47m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	1h 43m per day	▼ 31% State avg: 2h 30m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	2h 31m per day	▼ 24% State avg: 3h 17m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	2m per day	▼ 13% State avg: 2m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	34m per day	▲ 54% State avg: 22m per day · National avg: 28m per day
